“How Much Wine Do I Really Need to Buy For My Reception?”
Planning a wedding, celebration, or special event often brings a beautiful mix of excitement and overwhelm. One moment you’re envisioning your dream reception, and the next you’re standing in front of a wall of wine wondering, “How much wine and champagne do I really need to buy?” If your venue allows you to provide your own liquor, beer, or wine, you’ll likely save money, but you may also find yourself navigating a brand-new layer of logistics. And, when you’re hosting something as meaningful as a wedding or milestone party, you want to get it right.
A Simple and Practical Chart for Purchasing Wine
Several years ago, after watching clients struggle with this exact question, I created a simple and practical wine chart to help you confidently plan for your wedding or event. This chart gives you a clear snapshot of how much wine and champagne you need based on your guest count and the type of celebration you’re hosting. And, because I believe every couple and party host deserves clarity, not confusion, I’m making it available to you for free.
A Guidebook for All of Your Wedding Day Food and Beverage Needs
If you need deeper guidance, you’re not alone. Food and beverages anchor the guest experience. They set the tone for your reception, fuel the fun, and ensure your loved ones feel cared for. That’s why I wrote a comprehensive guidebook ($12.99) designed to help you plan your wedding day cuisine with ease and intention. Inside, you’ll find:
- What’s included in a 4-course, 5-course, and 6-course meal
- A detailed menu-tasting worksheet
- What to know before hiring event bartenders
- A thoughtful wedding cake consultation checklist
