The Bar Made Easy: Customizable Options for Your Wedding
For many couples, having alcohol at their wedding is as essential as food or music—maybe even more so for some! A well-thought-out bar can serve as a conversation starter, a way to bring guests together, and an extra element that makes your day truly unforgettable.
At Caribbean Caterers, we are proud to offer professional bar services designed to elevate your wedding experience. Whether you dream of craft cocktails, signature drinks, or simply a classic beer and wine setup, our licensed mixologists are here to deliver. And if you prefer to skip the alcohol, we’ve got you covered with a colorful array of vibrant mocktails that will impress everyone, from kids to adults. There’s literally something for everyone to enjoy!
Glad to Hear You Offer Bar Services! But… How Does It Work?
Just like the rest of your wedding, the bar should feel tailored to you and your guests. We’ll help you figure out what makes the most sense for your crowd—whether that’s a full bar with premium liquor, a tropical Caribbean bar, or a sophisticated mocktail setup. We’ll ask the right questions to make sure everything flows smoothly, so you can relax and enjoy the day.

Caribbean Caterers’ General Bar Options (What We Offer)
- Full Bar
This option includes premium liquor brands, beer, wine, and soft drinks/mixers, offering your guests a wide variety similar to a night out on the town. - Caribbean Bar
This crowd-favorite option includes everything from the Full Bar PLUS tropical classics like our signature Tropical Fruit Punch, Rum Punch, Caribbean lagers like Carib or Red Stripe, and specialty sodas. - Beer and Wine Bar
A simple yet elegant setup featuring Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon (venue permitting), imported and domestic beers, Caribbean soft drinks, and all the essentials like plastic tumblers and napkins. - Mocktail Bar
For non-drinkers, corporate events, or family-friendly celebrations, this bar includes a variety of juices, punches, and mixers to create fun, Instagram-worthy mocktails garnished with fresh fruit and herbs.
Can I Provide My Own Alcohol?
Absolutely! If your venue allows it, you can opt to Stock Your Own Bar. This is a great way to save money, but it does come with added responsibilities.
Here’s how it works:
- You handle the purchasing. You’ll buy all the alcohol, mixers, ice, and bar fruit ahead of time.
- You handle delivery and leftovers. On the wedding day, you’ll bring everything to the venue. After the event, you’ll also be responsible for taking back any leftovers. (Pro tip: Delegate this to a trusted family member or friend so you can focus on enjoying your big day!)
We’ll still provide professional bartenders and the equipment needed to serve your guests. If you’re unsure what to purchase or how much, don’t worry—we’ll guide you with recommendations based on your guest count and drink preferences.
Add-Ons for Stock-Your-Own Bars
Want to simplify the process while still providing your own alcohol? You can purchase the following from us:
- Soft drinks: Assorted sodas, juices, and tonic water
- Bar fruit: Lemons, limes, and garnishes
- Ice: Perfect if your venue doesn’t have an ice machine
How The Bar Works With Your No Compromise Wedding
Your No Compromise Wedding Package includes:
- Beer and Wine Bar: A three-hour reception bar featuring beer, wine, sodas, and bottled water.
- Signature Cocktails: Two customized cocktails offered during your one-hour cocktail reception—perfect for giving your guests a personalized touch.
- Champagne Toast: A celebratory moment, with sparkling cider available for non-drinkers and underage guests.
Want More? We’ve Got You Covered
If you’d like to upgrade to a full bar, you have two options:
- We handle it for you. Upgrade your three-hour reception bar to a Full Bar for an additional charge.
- You bring the liquor. Supplement our Beer and Wine Bar with your own liquor at no extra cost. Our bartenders will happily serve it.
For couples who want to showcase a specific label or enjoy the savings of purchasing liquor themselves, Option 2 is a great choice. Just remember: you’re responsible for purchasing, delivering, and retrieving the liquor.
