Below is a clear breakdown of the most popular wedding bar packages offered by Another Round Bar, what they include, and how to choose the right one for your celebration.

Package 1: Full Open Bar

A Full Open Bar covers all beer, seltzers, wines, liquors, and mixers for your guests for the full duration of your reception.

Package 2: Mixed / Hosted Bar

A Mixed Bar gives you a balance between guest experience + budget flexibility.

• Corporate / private parties

• Venue or HOA rules that restrict hosted alcohol
