BYOB Wedding Bar in Palm Beach: How It Works (and Why It Saves You Money)

A traditional open bar bills you per drink or per head, and the markup on alcohol is where the cost quietly balloons. A BYOB wedding bar flips that: you supply the alcohol at retail, and you pay a flat fee for a professional bar team. For most Palm Beach weddings, that’s a meaningful difference — money that stays in your budget instead of in someone’s per-drink margin.

Here’s exactly how it works with Palm Beach Cocktails.

You supply the alcohol. We supply the bar.

You buy the alcohol yourself — exactly what you want poured, at retail, with no markup. We bring the two-bartender team, the full setup, the tools, the ice, and (on cocktail packages) the mixers and fresh garnishes. From cocktail hour through the last dance, your bar runs like it belongs to a venue that does this every weekend — because we do.

Where the savings come from

The retail price you pay at the store for a bottle is far below what a per-drink open bar charges across a 5-hour reception. Because our fee is flat — starting from $450 for the two-bartender team — and supplies are billed at our cost, your spend doesn’t climb with every pour. A heavy-drinking crowd doesn’t blow up your bill; it just means you bought a little more at the store.

What’s included

• A professional two-bartender team so lines stay short (a third bartender is available as an add-on for larger guest counts)
• Full setup, service, and a clean breakdown — you don’t touch a thing
• All professional bar tools and ice
• Mixers and fresh garnishes on cocktail packages
• Mocktails and non-alcoholic options so under-21 guests and non-drinkers are taken care of too

Yes — we’re insured

We’re Insured & Certified, carrying both General Liability and Liquor Liability. Most venues require it, and we can add your venue as an Additional Insured — a Certificate of Insurance is available on request. One less thing for you or your planner to chase down.

How the night runs

We arrive early, set up, and have the bar ready before cocktail hour starts. Through the reception, our team keeps service quick and the bar tidy. At the end, we break it all down and leave the space clean. You get to be a guest at your own wedding.

Booking

A 20% deposit (minimum $100) secures your date, and a signed contract confirms the booking. The deposit applies toward your service fee. We serve weddings across Palm Beach County — West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Wellington, and beyond.
