If you're only having beer and wine at the bar, you should be fine with two. Most places require 1 bartender per 50-75 people.

We're getting 2 bartenders for 100-120 people. During cocktail hour, it will be purely drinks passed on trays (there's not a good way to set up a bar in the cocktail space), then 2 bartenders during the reception for a full bar.
I had 2 bars set up on opposite sides of the room, 2 bartenders at each bar (a total of 4) for 230 people. The drink lines went smoothly....no lines yet never empty!
The venue that I actually bartend at, requires 1 bartender for every 75-100 people. The other night there was a party of 320 with beer and pop only, and there were 2 of us. With liquor, we would have had 3 easily.
At our wedding we had 2, with total guests of about 140.
We had two for our wedding and we had 110 guests. We only served beer, wine and soda.
Surgie,
We are having 200 guests and our caterer has arranged for 1 bar manager, 2 bartenders and 1 barback. The bar manager will be bartending as well and the barback is in charge of moving and restocking, etc., but will bartend if it gets busy. We will have two bars during cocktail hour and two bars in a separate area for dinner.

I know I've seen this somewhere but can't find it. How many bartenders should be working during the coktail hour per 100 guests to avoid long lines? We plan to have the signature drinks and a non-alcoholic drink passed on trays as soon as the coktail hour begins but many will want to get in line for beer or wine and I don't want a long wait for them.
