It\u2019s no secret that one of the most crucial parts of the modern wedding celebration is\u2026 the booze. If you\u2019re like many contemporary Houston wedding couples,\u00a0you\u2019re likely considering creating a signature wedding cocktail that represents your distinct personalities and tastes.

The team at <\/span>Magnolia Bay Custom Bar Services<\/span><\/a>\u00a0are experts in making your wedding beverages and drink presentation key parts of your overall wedding theme and reception celebration.

1. Hire the pros<\/b> \u2014 Serving, planning and presenting alcohol is definitely something best left to the professionals. \u201cI tell people to ALWAYS ask if the vendor is licensed through TABC and what insurance they carry,\u201d Myers says. Magnolia Bay is fully TABC-licensed and fully insured. Count them as one fewer\u00a0thing you\u2019ll have to worry about on your big day!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Get personal<\/b> \u2014 Did you and your boo bond over a favorite beverage, meet in a special city or fall in love at a favorite restaurant or bar? Try and incorporate those aspects of your relationship into your signature wedding cocktail or bar! \u201cOur services are customizable to fit YOU,\u201d Myers says. \u201cSo many clients tell us they have been told ‘no’ by so many companies, that they gave up. We tell couples\u00a0to give\u00a0us an idea of what\u00a0they want, and we build from there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Go big!<\/b> \u2014 \u201cDon’t show up to your own event\u00a0and realize you should have done something more,\u201d Myers says. He recommends that wedding couples write down all of their ideas and then take a step back to consider how their\u00a0dream cocktail concept can fit within their\u00a0budget.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Consider your wedding \u201cbrand\u201d<\/b> \u2014 Your custom wedding bar and drinking details\u2014for example, the cups, napkins, koozies and decor\u2014are the perfect place to show off your wedding logo, monogram, hashtag, color palette and theme. We love how Magnolia uses marquee letters and chalkboard art to personalize each cocktail concept! They also dress to impress. \u201cWe aren’t your standard banquet bar service that shows up in black and white uniforms,” Myers says. \u201cWhen you work with us, you get hand-built bars that go with the look of your event, you get staff uniforms that go with your event, you get quality drinks, one-of-a-kind service and a one-of-a-kind experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Think outside the big day<\/b> \u2014 \u201cAlways ask the venue if they allow outside alcohol vendors,\u201d Myers says. Many reception venues do require you to purchase alcohol through their vendors, but let\u2019s be honest, there are plenty more opportunities for unique spirits, fine wines and exciting wedding-theme cocktails\u00a0throughout\u00a0your engagement and wedding weekend. If you\u2019re crazy for these craft cocktail bars, consider using them at other events like your engagement party, rehearsal dinner of day-after brunch!<\/span><\/p>\n
