We got really lucky!  Our reception was at a private club owned by a friend.  He knew that people in our social circle don’t drink much, so he offered us an open bar for 60 people for five hours for $250.  Needless to say, we jumped at that one!

We aren’t doing open bar (probably consumption), but ours is $8/pp/ph, so for 4 of the 6 hours, it’s $3200. More than our catering. :

ETA: And that’s for beer, wine, and well liquor.

We haven’t made the official decision but the place we’re most likely going to use is only $7.50 a person.

Ours is a good deal I think!

It’s $9 per person for the first hour, and $3 per person every hour after that.

We’re expecting to have roughly 45 guests.

So $405 for the first hour, and $135 every hour after.

A 4 hour open bar [from 8 – midnight] will cost us $810. That is however, BEFORE taxes & gratuity.

Our package is the 3rd package available and it comes with domestic beers, house wines, soft drinks, juices, house & call liquors, and heineken.

They also offer a coffee & tea service, but we are just going to buy a large coffee urn and do that ourselves.
