Why not consider having a signature cocktail? As well as being a fun, personal addition to your wedding, serving one or two signature cocktails can be a practical choice as bar staff won’t have to open, and therefore charge you, for lots of different spirits.

Serving drinks & canapes post ceremony gives guests chance to mingle & catch up before the reception. It’s also a good way to keep them occupied during wedding party photos. I’d recommend keeping things light. You don’t want guests too tipsy before the party has even begun!
