You can choose to host one or more kegs of beer at no cost to your guests, while also offering additional kegs for purchase. For instance, you might decide to host a keg of Coors Light, and have Summer Shandy, Grain Belt Premium, and Michelob Golden Light available for purchase.

Your guests will pay for each cocktail they purchase. Timed hosted liquor You may choose to host liquor for a specific time frame during your reception/dance – typically during cocktail hour. The bartenders will keep a tab for all cocktails served during the specified time frame. The tab for these drinks should be paid at the end of the night. Outside of this time frame, guests would pay for their own cocktails.

You can choose to host liquor up to a specified amount. Once the bar tab reaches this limit, the bartenders will inform the designated person. At this point, you can decide whether to stop hosting liquor or increase the spending limit. The final tab should be settled at the end of the night. After the limit is met, guests would pay for their own cocktails.
Hosted liquor with tickets
The bartenders can provide tickets you distribute to your bridal party, family or guests to be redeemed for cocktails. Redeemed tickets will be added to a tab to be paid at the end of the night. All other guests would pay for their own cocktails.

FINALIZING YOUR WEDDING DAY DETAILS
A member of the Crow River Winery events team will assist you in creating a detailed profile for your wedding. About six months prior to your big day, we’ll send you a wedding questionnaire. This will include all the information we need to plan your ceremony, reception and other day of details. Once you complete the questionnaire, we’ll ask you to schedule a meeting with us, either in person or via Zoom. Following this meeting, we’ll put together a comprehensive profile with all the final details of your wedding. This profile will be shared with our staff to ensure everyone is informed and prepared for the day, from setup to the flow of events. Once you review and approve all the information in the profile, you will electronically sign it. This signature confirms that you have checked and agreed to all the details provided. After signing, the profile will be considered final. We aim to finalize your profile at least one month before your wedding, but no later than two weeks prior
