How to Calculate Your Wedding Bar Without Overspending

"How many bottles do we actually need?" It’s the question that keeps every couple up at night. You don’t want the bar to run dry before the best man finishes his speech, but you also don’t want to be left with twenty cases of gin and a very expensive storage problem. Between figuring out if your college friends drink more than your aunts and calculating the "sparkling wine-to-toast" ratio, the math can get a little dizzying.

Take the Guesswork Out of Your Bar

At The Good Pour, we believe planning your wedding should be as enjoyable as the celebration itself. That’s why we’ve simplified the process.

Our Digital Drink Calculator is designed to do the heavy lifting for you. Simply plug in your guest count, the duration of your reception, and your preferred mix of beer, wine, and spirits. It’ll give you a curated estimate that ensures your bar stays stocked and your guests stay hydrated.

The "No Stress" Guarantee: Returns & Refunds

We know that even the best-laid plans can have leftovers. One of the biggest perks of partnering with us for your big day is our Return Policy. If you over-calculate on those cases of sauvignon blanc or didn't go through as much vodka as expected, don't sweat it. We offer returns on unopened, resaleable bottles so you can stay on budget even after the party is over.

Let’s Taste and Plan Together

The math is one thing, but the flavor is another! We invite you to step away from the spreadsheets and step up to the tasting bar. Our wedding specialists are ready to help you curate a selection that reflects your personality—from signature "his and hers" cocktails to the perfect vintage for your sit-down dinner.
