Build Your Bar: 7 Designs for Your Reception Drink Station

One of the best ways to get the festivities up and running during your wedding reception is through a well-stocked bar. With an open selection of drinks, guests will feel the celebration vibe quickly, and the dancing will commence. After selecting some fantastic beer, wine, and cocktail options for your friends and family, adorn your event’s bar to fit the motif of your big day – it’s a fun, playful way to share your creativity.
Some venues will have a bar readily available, so it would be advantageous to speak with a representative from your location about the possibility of adding elements to the bar in order to make it your own. If this is not the case – or if your chosen destination does not already provide a bar – you can speak with your wedding planner about locating a rental that suits your style.
