How to Plan the Perfect Bar Menu for Your Virginia Wedding
Planning a wedding in Virginia? Whether you’re celebrating in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg, Yorktown, or beyond, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is what to serve at the bar!
Your wedding bar sets the tone for the night, and at The Bevy Mobile Bar, we bring the drinks, the vibe, and a seamless bartending experience to make sure your guests are served professionally and efficiently.
Let’s break down everything you need to know to create the perfect beer, wine, and cocktail menu for your big day!
1. Choose the Right Bar Package for Your Guest Experience
At The Bevy Mobile Bar, we offer three curated bar packages based on your wedding style and drink preferences:
✅ Beer & Wine Package – A simple, classic setup for wine lovers and craft beer enthusiasts.
✅ Beer, Wine & Two Signature Cocktails – Want a more custom feel? We’ll help you create two unique cocktails to showcase your style.
✅ Full Bar Experience – More of an open bar vibe? We’ll mix up to four signature drinks with premium mixers to keep the drinks flowing all night.

2. Signature Cocktails That Fit Your Wedding Theme
One of the best ways to elevate your bar is by serving custom signature cocktails that match your personality or wedding aesthetic.
🥂 For a Coastal Wedding: Try a Citrus Spritz with vodka, elderflower, and a splash of sparkling lemonade.
🍂 For a Rustic Barn Venue: Go for a Bourbon Apple Smash with cider, cinnamon, and a hint of maple.
🌿 For a Boho Chic Vibe: A Lavender French 75 with gin, lemon, and bubbly adds the perfect botanical touch.

3. How Do You Know How Much Alcohol to Buy?
Since we operate as a dry hire mobile bar, you provide the alcohol, and we handle everything else! But don’t stress about figuring out how much to buy—we make it easy.
✅ We provide a personalized alcohol shopping list based on your guest count and drink preferences.
✅ You get full control over the brands you love, where you buy from, and how much you spend.
✅ Want a more cost-effective option? We’ll suggest budget-friendly choices that still impress your guests.
💡 Need guidance? We’ll break it all down for you—so there’s no guesswork!
4. Understanding Alcohol Laws for Private Events in Virginia
Every venue is different, and some may require you to have a special event license for alcohol service. If your venue requires an ABC license, you may need to apply for a banquet license in advance.
💡 Not sure what’s needed? We can walk you through the basics and point you in the right direction!
The great thing about hiring private bartenders like The Bevy is that you get more control over your alcohol selection and costs while still getting a high-end, professional experience.
