The Ultimate Utah Wedding Bartender Service Guide – Cheers and Swizzles

Stress-Free Wedding Bar Planning – Utah’s Best Bartender Service

Planning a wedding in Utah? If you’ve dreamed of a stunning bar experience but are unsure where to start, you’re in the right place. First things first—Utah law doesn’t allow cash bars at private events. That means you, as the host, must provide the alcohol. Don’t worry! At Cheers and Swizzles, we’ve worked with over 75 Utah wedding venues, and we know exactly how to make your bar smooth, fun, and unforgettable—no matter your budget.

Whether you’re planning a luxury wedding, a budget-friendly bash, or something in between, we create a bar setup that wows your guests and keeps the drinks flowing with the best Utah wedding bartender services.

Wedding Bar Planning 101 – Utah’s Top Bartending Tips

1. Utah’s Wedding Bar Rules—What You Need to Know

No cash bars – You provide the alcohol. We handle the rest!
Licensed bartenders required – That’s where we shine! We set up, serve, and clean up so you can enjoy the night.
Shots? Maybe! – Some venues allow them. Ask your venue what’s permitted.

2. Picking the Perfect Bartender Service for Your Utah Wedding

💡 Signature Cocktails – Want a drink that reflects your love story? Let’s make it happen!
💡 Full Bar vs. Curated Menu – A full bar is great, but a select menu ensures faster service.
💡 Mocktails & Non-Alcoholic Options – Utah has a big non-drinking crowd. Let’s make sure everyone has an amazing drink in hand.
💡 Local vs. National Spirits – We offer incredible local spirits or your favorite known brands—whatever fits your budget, taste, or vibe!

Planning Your Utah Wedding Bar Like a Pro

Step 1: Estimate Your Drink Needs

👰 100 guests? Plan for 300-400 drinks.
💍 150 guests? Around 450-600 drinks.
🎉 200+ guests? Time to stock up!

Step 2: Choose Your Drink Menu

✅ 2-3 signature cocktails
✅ A selection of beer & wine
✅ A non-alcoholic station with mocktails
✅ Champagne for toasts (because duh!)

Step 3: How Much Alcohol to Buy?

  • Liquor: Plan for 1.5 oz per drink. For 100 guests, that’s about 28 bottles (750ml each).

  • Wine: 1 bottle per 2-3 guests.

  • Beer: 1-2 per guest per hour.

  • Bartenders: 1 bartender per 100 beer/wine guests, or 1 per 90 cocktail guests.
