Beer, Bubbly, & Booze
The drinks will be flowing all evening on our wedding day! Read more about our bar package, specialty cocktails, & more below!
If you were to ask how I’m doing less than two weeks (!!!) out from our wedding, I’d laugh and ask you for a strong drink. Wedding planning is always on my mind! We’re not stressed, not even nervous – we’re just so. so. excited!
So since I can’t stop talking about all the plans … let’s talk about one of our favorite parts of our wedding: THE BAR!
It’s no secret that our wedding is going to be just one really fun party with all of our best friends and family. And what does every great party have? GOOD BOOZE!
Our stacked and stocked bar was something Ivy & I want to stand out to our guests, and truly The Cookery’s top-notch bar has us completed covered. We’re so excited to wine & dine our guests with delicious drinks & a specialty order (see at the bottom!) that brings in a hint of nostalgia!
Yeah yeah, I’m biased about The Cookery – I can admit that. But in all honesty, The Cookery’s bar & cocktail program is incredibly impressive and one of the best options for craft cocktails, wine, and local beer. Here’s why:
The Cookery bartenders are talented booze slingers that know their stuff. They can tell you all about wine origins & beer tasting notes, or create perfectly balanced drinks that will please all tastes – from Ivy’s 85-year-old grandparents to our bougie NYC friends.
Not only does The Cookery have skilled (and classy 1920s era dressed – hey, suspenders and bow ties!) bar staff, but the actual square footage of bar space far exceeds any other venue. Between the two bars there is 41 feet of bar top. Goodbye long lines, hello flowing drinks!
Our venue prides itself on the overall guest experience – meaning no long bar lines & minimal empty glasses. There is at least one bartender for every 30 guests!
You can trust the taste & quality of all our bottles on the shelf & beers on tap – our venue team has thoughtfully selected each of these options. The Cookery priorities local craft beer, specialty wines from all over the globe, and high tier liquors across all packages.
When looking at each incredible bar package tier, we went with a 5 hour choice open bar, which includes beer, wine, liquor, and two specialty cocktails. This middle tier option highlights some of our favorites like Tito’s, Durham Distillery’s Conniption Gin, and Bulleit.
Plus, we worked with The Cookery’s incredible team to specialty order a fan-favorite and Ivy & I’s drink of choice: bottles of Pabst Blue Ribbon! But since we are beer nerds, we of course had to make sure our favorite brewery was featured beyond the tap as well – we’ll have cans of Ponysaurus Brewing Co. too!
We can’t wait to party with our peeps. Cheers beers & happy sipping!
