Choosing the Right Payment Options for Your Wedding Mobile Bar

When planning your wedding, every detail matters – from the flowers and the music to the drinks your guests will enjoy. One of the key decisions couples face when booking a wedding mobile bar is choosing from the payment options for your wedding mobile bar.

At Near and Far Mobile Bar, we understand that every wedding is unique, which is why we offer flexible payment options to suit your needs.

Here are some of the most common payment options couples consider:

1. Open Bar Coverage – We’ve Got It All Covered

If you’d love your guests to enjoy drinks without worrying about a thing, you can choose to cover the full cost of the bar for the entire evening. This ensures your friends and family can enjoy a selection of drinks, with no need to bring their wallets.

2. Split Payments – Daytime Covered, Evening Pay-As-You-Go

Couples typically cover drinks during the daytime (such as during the drinks reception and wedding breakfast) and then switch to a cash bar in the evening. This allows you to provide complimentary drinks for a portion of the day while giving guests the flexibility to purchase their own drinks later on.

3. Bar Tab – A Generous Gift from Loved Ones

Parents or loved ones often want to contribute towards the wedding in a meaningful way. A bar tab is a fantastic option if they’d like to put some money behind the bar for guests to enjoy, with a set limit agreed in advance. Once the tab has been reached, the bar seamlessly switches to a pay-as-you-go service.

4. Pre-Paid Per Head – All-Inclusive Experience

For those who prefer a structured approach, a per-head payment system ensures that each guest is covered for a set amount of drinks throughout the day and unlimited bar in the evening. This is a great way to manage your budget while ensuring everyone has a wonderful time without worrying about costs. We offer drinks packages which provide you will full day coverage on your day.

5. Cash or Card Bar – Guests Pay Their Own Way

If you’d rather not commit to covering drinks, we offer a fully stocked pay-as-you-go bar, where guests can purchase their own drinks via cash or card. This option provides flexibility while still offering a professionally run bar service with a wide range of options to suit all tastes.
