Let's create a shopping list...

(of booze).




We know calculating exactly what your guests may want to sip on may be difficult, but when it comes to making sure that we have the proper amount of alcohol to cover your event, it is important that we calculate correctly! The basic rule is that each guest will consume one drink per hour. Some guests will drink less, of course, and others may be a bit more thirsty. Generally, people tend to consume more earlier in the event but slow down throughout the evening, so the drinks per guest per hour are higher for an event under 3 hours.


The most important factors to consider when estimating alcohol needs include:

  • What is your guest count?
  • How many hours will your event last?
  • Are your guests light, average, or heavy drinkers? 
  • Will you have a champagne toast?
  • How many signature cocktails would you like to offer?
  • What types of alcohol? Note: Because we are known for fun signature cocktails, and because we serve open bar-style, guests who ordinarily sip on beer or wine tend to gravitate towards trying the signature cocktails instead! The industry standard is 50% cocktails, 25% wine (with an even split of red and white), and 25% beer. However, at nearly all of our events, we have typically seen 85%+ cocktails, 10% beer, and 5% wine! 


The above information is just to give you, as the host, a basic idea as to how you would calculate your alcohol costs. If you decide to book with The Buzz Gypsy & Co., we will create an entire alcohol shopping list customized to your event! We get to know a bit about you and your guests, your alcohol and flavor preferences, event details, & more and then we create a full list of all your needs so we will be covered for your big day!
