I agree with @flamingred! You should do some signature drinks that people would have at that time of day. Maybe do the bloody marys and mimosas then offer champagne with raspberries in it also. I don't think it's necessary to serve wine and beer but some people do drink it at lunch. It's up to you and your budget i guess!
I agree with the others, I would probably just offer mimosas, and maybe plain champagne for the toast.
Here is what we did for cocktail hour! If you are having champagne for mimosa's it can also be served plain but with strawberries or raspberries in it to make it a little more fancy!

I second the bloody mary bar and mimosas! Maybe with some wine thrown in? I also enjoy cocktails.What if you just did 3 signature drinks?
My friends and I are pretty big drinkers (that sounds bad, and no, we're not alcoholics) but I think that's a little early for a full bar. I generally favor liquor drinks, but wouldn't drink that early.
I would just do signature drinks. Your wedding is begging for a brunch menu with mimosas and bloody marys. I think that would be perfect and all you'd need to provide.
I don't think people would drink wine that early, but I would personally appreciate beer especially if the reception goes until 3. I also love the idea of mimosas and bloody marys.
Well unfortunetly my venue you can't serve just one or two drinks (signiture drinks) If i choose any hard alcohol they charge me for hard alcohol per hour per person and that is just out of our budget :(
Go with 3 types of champagne drinks- mimosas, the peach snapps and champagne which is called a bellini they are amazing!! and regular champagne with a berry in it!
We served Bellinis at my shower and everyone loved them. You can throw frozen peach slices in each glass and it is sooooo good!

I actually am going with bellinis and mimosas for my morning wedding and that's it :o) although since all the fixings are there it is quite easy to say just champagne can be used you know?
We had a brunch wedding and did bloody mary's, mimosas, beer and wine. People WILL drink, but the good news is they won't drink as much. I was sweating our final bill, and it came in LOWER than the estimate!
Signature champagne drinks are probably your easiest, tastiest bet. If you're feeling fancy, maybe beer and wine, but I honestly don't think you'll need it.
I die for a great, spicy bloody mary and/or mimosas. I think that sounds perfect :-). Definitely no need to overdo it on alcohol for a lunch reception!
I was a bridesmaid in a morning/brunch wedding this past summer. They provided beer, wine and two signature drinks. The signature drinks were mimosas and from scratch bloody marys. It worked out great!
Thank you everyone for the great ideas! I'm also having a morning wedding and we were concerned about how to handle the bar. I think we will have a couple mixed drinks and a some beer.
We are having a limited bar with Mimosas, Bloody Mary, Screwdrivers, and Greyhounds.
We are also serving Irish Coffee, Coffee, Tea, Juices, Water and soda.
I think just having mimosas is fine. I personally wouldn't drink beer or wine that early in the day.
If you know that most will not be drinking, then don't serve it. Have a coffee/cocoa bar with optional alcoholic add-ins such as Bailey's, etc instead for those who prefer alcohol.
Specialty morning drinks... coffee's with liquor, mamosa's, etc...
I would do mimosas and champagne with rasperries inside. Why? Because it's cheap, easy, and elegant. Just buy orange juice, and a bunch of champagne, and freeze raspberries and then just put one or two in each glass.

Hi Bees,
So i'm have a morning wedding starting at 10AM and then the reception starts at 11 - 3. What our your thoughts on having a cash bar or just having beer, wine and champ for the toast. I know i lot of people won't be drinking early in the morning but most people always expect and assume there is going to be some kind of an open bar at a wedding. Both my family and my fiance's family our not big drinkers so it would mostly be for our friends.
I don't know what to do.
Please help, thanks :)
