Tips for a Successful Summer Wedding Bar

Plan for Hot Weather

New England summers can be hot, humid, and often times unpredictable. Summer weddings can get quite warm, so it’s important to plan your bar service accordingly:

Ice Supply: The Wandering Pour ensures there is plenty of ice to keep drinks cold, chilled beverages that are refreshing.

Shade and Shelter: Set up the bar in a shaded area is key for your guests to comfortably come up grab a drink and hang out for a bit. We also provide umbrellas to keep guests comfortable as well as our team.

Hydrate: We strongly recommend having a hydration station that allows our team to keep it stocked all night for you but you can absolutely supply your own water as well. We're flexible in making sure your event bar experience is everything you dreamed of.

Collaborate with Professionals

Working with a professional mobile bar service like The Wandering Pour ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience. Our experienced team will handle all aspects of the bar service, from setup and breakdown to serving delicious drinks with a smile.

Offer a Variety of Drinks

Variety is key to satisfying all your guests. In addition to signature cocktails, consider offering:

Beer and Wine: A selection of local craft beers and fine wines. We have big love for Canned Heat in Fall River, Devil’s Purse in Dennis, Chair 2 out of Rhode Island and many more local breweries. When it comes to wine we’re a bit of a snob and not sorry about it. Living in New England is everything to us, two of our top favorite local wineries have to be Westport Vineyards and Newport Vineyards.

Cocktails: Timeless favorites like Mojitos, Margaritas, and Martinis can be made from our Full Bar option.

Non-Alcoholic Options: A range of mocktails and refreshing non-alcoholic beverages.
