Weddings & celebrations
A bar that feels like the two of you
From engagement parties to the big day, we design a drink experience as personal as your vows, and serve it with calm, polished care.
Personalization ideas
Details your guests will talk about
Signature cocktails with a story
A drink for each of you, named after where you met, your first trip or your favourite song.
Cocktail hour, handled
We plan staffing so lines stay short while photos happen, then keep the bar flowing all night.
Mocktails that match
Zero-proof versions of your signatures, so every guest can toast with you.
Menus in your colours
Printed or framed menus to match your invitations, florals and theme.
A little family magic
Optional: your pet or a family photo on the menu, if you'd like.
Champagne moments
A champagne tower or toast service, built and poured by our team (you supply the bubbly).
Planning the wedding bar
- Staffing: we plan about one bartender per 50 guests, and more for a busy cocktail hour.
- Alcohol: you buy it from our exact shopping list. At a rented venue, the host usually needs a Special Occasion Permit from the AGCO, applied for at least 10 days before.
- Your venue: some venues have their own licensed bar or rules about outside bartenders. We'll check with you.
- Timing: book early for peak dates. A 30% retainer holds your date.
Wedding questions
Do you provide alcohol?
No. Sip & Tell provides bartending and everything around the bar. The host buys the alcohol, or a licensed venue provides it.
We send you an exact shopping list sized to your guest count and menu, so you buy the right amount. For events outside a private residence, the host usually needs a Special Occasion Permit from the AGCO (apply at least 10 days before the event). At a licensed venue, the venue's licence applies. We never sell alcohol or run a cash bar.
How many bartenders do I need?
We plan one bartender for about every 50 guests, so lines stay short.
Busy cocktail hours, complex menus or several bar stations may need extra help. We recommend the right staffing in your quote.
Can you create personalized cocktails?
Yes. Signature cocktails named for you, your story, your team or your brand are one of our favourite things to create.
Tell us your flavours, colours and theme, and we design the menu with you, including mocktail versions.
