Who books a non-alcoholic bar?
Three groups, for quite different reasons. Couples at dry venues or church receptions, where alcohol is not permitted at all. Families running a daytime or multi-generational celebration with a lot of children. And couples with a full bar who add the non-alcoholic tier so that guests who are not drinking — designated drivers, pregnant guests, anyone in recovery, anyone who simply does not want a drink — are handed something made for them.
That last case is the one worth being direct about: a soda poured from a two-litre bottle tells a guest they were an afterthought. A specialty lavender lemonade in the same glassware everyone else is holding does not.
What is in it?
Two specialty batch lemonades from the signature lemonade menu, a soda package of Dr. Pepper, Sprite, Coke and Diet Coke, and a non-alcoholic bubbly toast made from assorted sparkling juice. The supplies package and nine-ounce cups are included, so it is a complete bar rather than drinks on a table.
The lemonade flavours are blackberry mint, lavender, blueberry, mixed berry, passion fruit, mango, strawberry, peach and strawberry mint. Additional batches are $300 each.
What it costs
The Non-Alcoholic Bar is $15 per guest for four hours of service, and includes the supplies package and cups.

Non-Alcoholic Bar Service: common questions
What is a batch cocktail?
A cocktail mixed in advance in five-gallon volume and served from a dispenser — 75 nine-ounce servings for $400, including the dispenser, ice, cups, straws and garnishes. It serves a queue of 40 people in minutes rather than one shake at a time.
That speed is why batching suits a wedding. The moment after the ceremony is when everyone wants a drink simultaneously, and a batched signature is the only way to serve a signature drink at that pace.
What signature cocktails can we choose from?
Eight signatures: The Elder Sour, Blackberry Kentucky Lemonade, Rose All Day, Blood Orange Paloma, Buzzy Bee, Tequila Tango, Blue Lagoon Margarita and Love on the Coast. Margaritas come in seven flavours including prickly pear, spicy pineapple and watermelon.
Can we create our own cocktail?
Yes. Custom made-to-order cocktails are quoted individually, and if you choose a signature you are invited to a tasting before the wedding.
What is the difference between batch and made-to-order cocktails?
Batch is pre-mixed and dispensed: $400 for 75 servings. Made-to-order is built per guest: $600 for 100 servings. Drinks like espresso martinis, a French 75, an Aperol spritz or a smoked old fashioned only work made-to-order.
Many couples do both — a batched signature to handle volume, and one made-to-order drink as a moment during the evening.
