Plan the Perfect Bar with a Wedding Alcohol Calculator

As a wedding planner for 12 years, I’ve seen couples either panic‑buy or run out mid‑reception. This wedding alcohol calculator uses guest count, duration, drinking habits, and preference splits to give you precise numbers. Use it to create a shopping list that keeps everyone happy without blowing your budget.

How to Use

Enter guest count, reception hours, drinking level, and drink preference. The tool calculates total drinks needed, then splits into beer, wine, and spirits. For 100 guests, 5 hours, moderate drinking → about 750 total drinks. With even split, that’s 250 beers, 250 glasses of wine (42 bottles), and 250 cocktails (about 7–8 liters of spirits).

Real Wedding Success Story

Emily and John used this tool for their 150‑guest wedding. They saved $800 compared to their initial estimate and still had a perfectly stocked bar. No last‑minute runs to the store!

FAQs

Should I include non‑drinkers?
Yes – they count in total guests but may drink less. Our calculator already accounts for average consumption.
What about champagne toast?
Add 1 glass per guest separately. The calculator does not include toast by default.
