As you plan your wedding, choosing different vendors and activities is one of the most time-consuming aspects. When considering the beverage situation, contacting a local beer supplier to provide enough drinks for an open bar will ensure your friends and family members are comfortable and having fun throughout the event. Below are several benefits that an open bar offers.

Why Should You Opt for an Open Bar?

1. Show Your Appreciation

An open bar is an excellent way to say “thank you” to the guests that attend the wedding. Depending on the date and location of the event, your friends and family members may have to take off work, pay for hotels, and arrange for child care to be there. If yours is a destination event or otherwise out-of-state, guests have to pay for travel costs. By using a local beer supplier and paying for the drinks upfront, you show that you appreciate how much time and effort they spent to attend. 

2. Encourage Socialization

If you have a large family that isn't well-acquainted with your spouse's guests, providing assorted brews from a nearby beer supplier will help everyone mingle. Alcohol is known for encouraging conversation among strangers and helping people learn more about each other. When you pay for the beer with an open bar, you don't have to worry about people feeling apprehensive to socialize. This means your guests can talk, laugh, and dance together easily.

3. Keep Guests Happy

When you advertise an open bar at the reception, you can sidestep bad feelings. Friends and family can feel disgruntled if they have to pay for libations after spending money and time to witness your nuptials. An open bar ensures everyone can focus on the wedding without having to worry about bringing and counting cash as they pay for beer. A free bar means your guests will be more appreciative of the delicious food and beautiful floral arrangements.
