Beverage Coverage for Events
Staffed hydration and non-alcoholic beverage service for events, with optional alcohol service when requested.
Cheers provides beverage coverage so event hosts and venues are not responsible for managing drinks, refills, or beverage flow during an event.
What Beverage Coverage is
Beverage coverage is the operational layer of an event that ensures guests have access to water and basic non-alcoholic drinks, with professional staff managing setup, refills, and guest flow.
It exists to prevent beverage-related issues, reduce congestion, and remove drink management responsibilities from hosts and venues.
Beverage coverage is not a drink menu or a bar package. It is staffed beverage operations.
Alcohol service is optional and can be enabled later if needed.
Used Across All Event Types
