The advantage to buying a beverage package is, knowing that all of your guests will receive unlimited alcohol within a fixed time frame and for a fixed price. This can be a good motivator to get your guests there on time. It is also a good way to stop guests from taking advantage of a free bar tab. Packages usually consist of beer, wine, champagne, juice, and soft drinks.

The quality of the wines and beer will vary depending on the type of package you choose. The premium packages will sometimes offer basic spirits as well. It’s always good to look at a variety of drink packages to compare their value. Packages are usually offered for 2, 3 and 4 hours and prices will vary per person for additional hours of consumption. Beverage packages can also be a good choice if you only want the function to run for a limited time. 

Packages generally suit corporate functions as these are usually for business purposes and excessive drinking is not encouraged. It also allows organizers to stay within a set budget and have some control over what’s being served to guests.

What questions should you ask before deciding which package fits the event?

– Can you afford to go over your budget for beverages?
– Are your friends and family fussy drinkers?
– What is more important to you? Having complete control over your bar tab or having a tab with more flexibility?
– Are your friends likely to drink heavily or just have a few?
– Do you want everything to be organized before the event rather than deal with it on the night?
– Do you only want to supply limited beverages on the night?
– At Birthday Party people don’t always expect too many free drinks.
– What is the occasion?
This might sound simple however on a 21st, people tend to expect a bar tab, however, if you are having a 30th birthday party or even a 40th Birthday or 50th.
