Indian Wedding Bar Planning: The Golden Rules

Calculating liquor for a wedding cocktail or Sangeet is tricky. The standard rule of thumb for Indian parties is: 2 drinks per drinking guest in the first hour, followed by 1 drink per drinking guest for every subsequent hour.

P-10 Liquor Permit

In most states (Delhi NCR, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra), serving alcohol at a commercial banquet or farmhouse requires a 1-day P-10 excise permit. Apply online 3-5 days in advance.

Bartender & Flair Mixologist

Hire 1 bartender for every 50-75 drinking guests to ensure drinks flow without endless lines. A flair bartender adds dramatic entertainment during cocktails.

Never Skimp on Ice

Always order 0.5 kg of ice per guest. Running out of clean, food-grade ice cubes is the number one disaster at wedding bars!

Frequently Asked Questions: Wedding Bar Estimator

A standard 750ml bottle provides approximately 12 large pegs (60ml each) or 25 small pegs (30ml each). Professional bartenders typically calculate 12-14 servings per bottle including minor bar spillages.

State excise regulations vary. While sealed beer crates can often be returned or utilized for future celebrations, ensure your caterer/banquet allows duty-paid alcohol brought from government-approved vends.
