Tell us your headcount and how long the bar is open. We'll tell you how much liquor, beer, and wine to buy — and roughly what it'll run you.
Everything updates as you type. Nothing to submit.
Minimum 20, moves in steps of 5. Count only guests who will actually drink.
Service time only — don't count setup or breakdown. Our bartenders arrive early to set up at no charge, and extra hours can be added by the hour.
At least one category has to stay selected.
Bottle totals redistribute across whatever you pick. You'll always get at least one bottle of each — if it's on the bar, guests will ask for it.
Running out is the one mistake you can't fix mid-party. Most New Jersey liquor chains take back unopened bottles — ask about the return window at the register and keep your receipt.
Ordering direct from a retailer's app usually means shelf pricing and a drop straight to your venue. Beats paying a caterer's markup, and it's one less carload on the day of.
Our cost estimate assumes mid-range brands. Nobody notices top-shelf in a mixed drink — spend there only on what's being poured neat.
Plan a few soft drinks and waters per non-drinking guest. Kids, drivers, and anyone pacing themselves still spend the night at the bar.
Figure two pounds per guest, and that's before chilling beer and wine. It's the single most commonly under-bought item at a private event.
A summer backyard party drinks differently than a winter dinner reception. Use these numbers as a starting point, then tell us about your event and we'll sanity-check them.
