Frequently Asked
Questions

Key factors affecting the price:

How to do a free bar at a wedding?
You like the idea of a free bar but the budget is tight. As a rough guide, a free bar after dinner for 3-4 hours for 100 guests can cost in the region of £1,000-£2,000 with some limitations (not ‘top shelf’ spirits, single shots only, set amount of drinks for the period.) Ideas of how to cost this could be ask some generous relatives if they’d fancy picking up the tab as a wedding present, or asking for cash and no boxed gifts on the day of the wedding to cover the bill.
What is a paid bar at a wedding?
Free bar – this is done by an approximate spend per head, sometimes this is done by totaling up exactly what your guests spend at the end of the night, and billing you the extra.
In comparison, a paid bar – or a cash bar – is a bar that just operates like a normal pub, whereby your guests pay for their own drinks.
Should you do a free bar at a wedding?
As you can see, the answer to the question should you have a free bar at your wedding? is a personal choice – there’s more admin involved in providing your own alcohol and free bar, however ultimately the flexibility to serve personal favourites can often be the driving force behind this decision.
Do people expect an open bar at a wedding?
We have seen a decrease in guests expecting a full bar where you can order any single malt or top shelf liquor, and fewer couples are going that route. Full-service bars were much more prevalent in weddings before 2019. New trends tend to be cocktail/fizz receptions, wine on table and a more basic bar service post dinner.
How much does it cost to hire a bartender UK?
Prepare to pay an average of £170 for the standard cocktail bartender package for 4 hours and more for flair bartenders. Additional travel costs may be incurred depending on location.
Our cocktail bar hire packages are available Nationwide, your travel costs are calculated from our Manchester, Birmingham & London bases. Popular locations for our cocktail bars include London, Manchester, Cheshire, Leeds, Cardiff, Southampton, Liverpool, Surrey, Birmingham and Edinburgh.
Recent Reviews
We cannot recommend Mr Flavour Events enough! From the moment we first made contact, we knew that we were working with a team who could provide a bespoke service that perfectly met our needs. The team were so professional, communication was exemplary and their service was beyond phenomenal! Our wedding guests had the most incredible time, loved all the cocktails, loved all the bartenders (and their banter!) and we all loved the extra surprises eg smoking shots on the dance floor. If we have another big event, or know anyone else who is having one, Mr Flavour Events will be the first people we recommend! Thank you so much!

On behalf of Aston Martin London, we couldn’t recommend Ali, Paul, and Daniel more highly. They were absolutely fantastic, and the cocktails were a huge hit with our customers at our Vanquish Christmas Soirée. The branded Espresso Martinis were the perfect finishing touch. Thank you, team!

Excellent experience from start to finish Paul was great and helped with ideas for cocktails and mocktails. All the guests complimented on the perfect balance for the wedding. To top it all off the bar and display looked stunning. Very professional set up! The whole team were there throughout the day asking if we needed anything. Definitely made the day special!

Honestly couldn't have gone with a better supplier. The team (Ali in particular) went above & beyond to accommodate our last minute booking, worked with us to select bar and drinks choices that were most aligned with our clients, and turned around branding requests at super short notice. The team on the day were efficient, friendly and made incredible cocktails at record speed. Incredible range of innovative offerings at a competitive price. 10/10
