Weddings & Special Events
1) Liquor License You will need to apply for a Special Occasion License. Click This Link for details 2) Is It Allowed at the Event Location? Confirm with the location you have chosen that they allow you to bring your own wine. If they do you should find out if there is a corkage fee. A corkage fee is a service charge for serving the wine. A good way to reduce this cost is to use larger bottles. 3) Wine Type The type of wine you choose should pair well with the food you plan on serving. James or Henry can help choose an appropriate wine for your special day or you can take a look at our wine description section for appropriate wine pairings.
The quality of wine you choose also influences the flavor. We recommend the 100% Juice quality level for weddings as it is an excellent value for the price.
5) Quantity Use the Equation below to determine how many bottles you need (750ml). (# of Guests - Non Drinkers ) X 2 Glasses per person The typical wedding is 4 batches of wine (120 bottles) with 2 batches of red wine and 2 batches of white wine. It is always better to have more wine than you think you will need. Extra wine bottles make excellent gifts for your guests and can also be used for wedding showers and bachelor parties before the wedding. 6) Labels We offer free customized label upgrades on any batch of wine that is to be used at a special event. This upgrade is usually sold for $5 per batch but we want to make your day special and unique. You can view our customized labels by clicking HERE. 7) Bottles We sell a variety of bottles to meet your needs. Ice Wine Bottle - 375ml - $2 each 8) Do I get a discount? We offer discounts based on the number of batches ordered and the quality level that you choose. Please give James a call or come in to the store and we would be happy to discuss your options. |
