Our catering company's rule of thumb was 1 per every 75 guests. We had 2 with 150 heavy drinking guests and worked out great, no lines! I will say they pre-batched our signature drinks so that kept the lines from forming.
How much alcohol do you need for 150 guests? For a 4 hour party with 150 guests, you will need approximately 600 drinks: 240 beers, 216 glasses of wine (44 bottles) and enough for 144 individual cocktails (amounts will depend upon what type of cocktail you serve). If you aren't serving wine, plan on 360 cocktails.
So as guide, if you have 100 guests, you will need around 50 bottles of wine (mix of red and white.) Plus around 300 pints/bottles of lager, beer and cider.
One advantage is that it creates a lively and festive atmosphere, allowing guests to relax and enjoy themselves without worrying about paying for drinks. Additionally, an open bar can be seen as a generous gesture by the couple, making guests feel appreciated and valued.
Generally speaking, these are the basic items any wedding bartender should have on-hand for events: Cocktail shakers: To keep a drink cold while you're mixing it with ice, you'll need shakers on hand. Cocktail strainers: Strainers help keep unwanted textures like pulp and ice out of a mixed drink.
Event rental companies rent out taller tables for use as a bar, or actual portable bars designed for just this purpose, but a regular table works fine too. For the tables, it's nice to get a long tablecloth to hide any cases or coolers.
It turns out, there is a magic formula when it comes to calculating the amount of drinks you'll need for your wedding, sort of: Plan for at least one drink per person per hour. (So for a six-hour wedding with 100 guests, you'll need roughly 600 drinks.)
A good rule of thumb is one bottle of wine per two guests, three beers per guest, three cocktails per guest, one bottle of Champagne or sparkling per six guests, one litre of water per four guests, and three non-alcoholic drinks per guest.
A 2-liter bottle of soda will give 10 8-ounce servings, while beverages that come in gallon containers will yield 16 8-ounce servings. That comes out to four drinks per person during our three-hour party, which means we'll need five bottles of soda or three gallons of juice or a mix of both to total 48 servings.
