How long does a wedding cocktail bar last?

There is no single length: the bar follows the schedule of your day. Here are the most common formats, and what to know to choose.

The vin d’honneur

This is the most requested format. The bar opens as guests leave the ceremony and stays with them until dinner, often for about two hours.

The evening

An evening lasts several hours. The bar opens after dinner, or as the dancing begins, and follows the rhythm of the party. It is sized to last until the end, with enough bartenders to keep service smooth.

The vin d’honneur and the evening

Many couples choose both. The vin d’honneur sets the tone, the evening takes over. In between, during dinner, the team can stay on site; we plan this time with you.

The next-day brunch

A shorter, more relaxed format, to extend the weekend with your loved ones over fresh cocktails and alcohol-free creations.

Extending if needed

An evening that runs late, a vin d’honneur that starts earlier: the length can be adjusted. The simplest is to share your times from the start, so that the estimate matches your day.
