How Much Should You Buy?

Buy too much and you’ve spent money you didn’t need to. Buy too little and the night ends too soon. We built Beverage Concierge Services so you don’t have to guess — just tell us about your event.

Planning the Bar Yourself?

Not every event needs bartenders. If you’re planning a wedding, quinceañera, family reunion, or private party yourself, we’ll help you get the numbers right before you shop — no bartending booking required.

Ongoing Support

Included With Every Service

Every plan comes with support from booking through event day — guest counts change, we’ll help you adjust.

Recalculate quantities

Need to adjust as your guest count changes? No problem.

Choose your bar style

Beer and wine only, full bar, or a curated cocktail menu — we'll help you decide.

Second opinion

Before placing a large alcohol order, send it over. We'll review it.

Inclusive Beverage Consultation

Not every guest is drinking alcohol — and they shouldn't feel like an afterthought.

Today's celebrations include designated drivers, expecting parents, sober-curious guests, wellness-focused lifestyles, and guests who simply prefer not to drink. We'll help you create alcohol-free options that feel intentional, elevated, and every bit as thoughtful as the cocktails being served.

  • Mocktail & NA spirit recommendations
  • Zero-proof cocktail ideas
  • Specialty garnish suggestions

Recommended NA beers include Athletic Brewing, Best Day Brewing, and Guinness 0.0.
