Pour Decisions serves Charleston and surrounding Lowcountry communities, including Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, Hanahan, Summerville, and nearby island communities. Our base packages include up to 50 miles of travel from Charleston, South Carolina, with extended travel available for an additional fee. Share your venue address when you inquire so we can confirm travel arrangements.

Contact us once you have your event date and venue details so we can check availability and begin shaping your bar experience. If your celebration is approaching soon, you're still welcome to inquire. Availability and planning arrangements are confirmed individually.

Send Pour Decisions your event date, venue or location, estimated guest count, and the type of bar experience you have in mind. Include any interests such as signature cocktails, mocktails, a champagne wall, or additional bar locations. We'll use those details to prepare a personalized proposal with your service options and optional enhancements.

Pricing & Packages

Wedding bartending pricing depends on guest count, service duration, staffing, beverage selections, venue logistics, and optional enhancements. Pour Decisions prepares personalized proposals so your quote reflects the experience you want and the support your event requires. Alcohol is purchased separately by the client, allowing you to see that expense separately from our bar service.

Our base packages bring together personalized planning consultations, a professional bar service team, a custom-designed framed bar menu, professional barware, elevated disposable drinkware, napkins, straws, coordinated ice and chilling arrangements, complimentary hydration, and setup and breakdown. Beverage service varies by package, with staffing and logistics tailored to your event. Optional enhancements and alcohol are separate.

Beer and wine service focuses on those beverage selections, while a full bar adds spirits and a broader range of mixed drinks and cocktails. Pour Decisions offers three base experiences: The Signature Pour for beer and wine, The Mixed Pour for beer, wine, and classic spirit-and-mixer combinations, and The Full Pour for a more expansive bar menu. Personalized signature cocktails are available as optional enhancements.

No. Personalized signature cocktails, signature mocktails, champagne walls, toast service, additional bar locations, glassware upgrades, cocktail tables, and custom bar favors are optional enhancements. These are quoted separately from your selected base package, with pricing tailored to the selections and support your event requires.

Alcohol & Staffing

Clients purchase the alcohol separately and directly through the retailer. Pour Decisions provides the agreed bartending and bar services, with no Pour Decisions markup on your alcohol purchase. We can also assist with beverage planning and coordinate optional ordering, pickup, and event-day delivery arrangements.

Yes. Beverage and shopping planning are part of our personalized planning process. We help coordinate selections and quantities around your guest count, service duration, menu, and preferences, so you have guidance before placing your order. Your final shopping plan is developed for your celebration rather than using the same list for every event.

Optional alcohol ordering coordination, pickup, and event-day delivery are available with our base packages at no additional service charge. You purchase directly through the retailer, with no Pour Decisions alcohol markup, while we coordinate the agreed logistics. Pickup and delivery details are confirmed during planning.

Eligible unopened alcohol may be returnable through our preferred retail partners, subject to the retailer's policies. Return eligibility can depend on the product, packaging, receipt, and other purchase conditions. We can discuss available options during beverage planning, but returns are not guaranteed for every item.

The appropriate team size depends on your guest count, drink menu, service duration, number of bars, and venue layout. Cocktail preparation and separate service locations can require different staffing from a single beer and wine bar. Pour Decisions recommends staffing around your event's actual needs, with the goal of providing attentive service and a well-coordinated guest experience.

Our base packages include professional barware and service equipment, elevated disposable drinkware, cocktail napkins, straws, and standard ice and cooler arrangements. Mixer and garnish selections depend on your chosen package. We coordinate chilling needs around your venue's available resources, and glassware is available as an optional upgrade.

Cocktails & Mocktails

Yes. Personalized signature cocktails are available as an optional enhancement to your Pour Decisions bar experience. We draw inspiration from your favorite flavors, meaningful places, shared memories, and celebration style to create drinks that feel personal. Each selection becomes a thoughtful part of your wedding menu, with presentation that complements the occasion.

His, Hers & Yours is our optional wedding cocktail enhancement featuring two personalized signature drinks that celebrate each partner's individual tastes and story. The drinks are presented together as a distinctive feature of your wedding bar, bringing your personalities into an experience your guests can enjoy.

Yes. Pour Decisions offers personalized signature mocktails as an optional enhancement for weddings and events. These alcohol-free drinks are developed around your flavor preferences and celebration style, with thoughtful garnishes and elevated presentation. They offer a considered beverage choice for guests who prefer not to drink alcohol.

Yes. Personalized cocktails and alcohol-free signature mocktails can be incorporated into the same event as separately quoted enhancements. We help coordinate the selections so the menu feels cohesive while giving guests different ways to enjoy the celebration. Share your preferences when you inquire so we can include suitable options in your proposal.

Optional Enhancements

Yes. A styled champagne wall is available as an optional enhancement through Pour Decisions. It creates a celebratory focal point for welcoming guests, cocktail hour, or another planned moment during your event. We coordinate the presentation around your celebration and venue layout. Champagne is purchased separately by the client.

Yes. Champagne toast service is available as an optional enhancement, with professional pouring and service coordinated around your speeches or celebration timeline.

Yes. Pour Decisions offers dedicated cocktail-hour bar service and setup for a separate location as an optional enhancement. We coordinate the service arrangements and transition into your reception around the venue layout and timeline. Additional equipment, staffing, and setup requirements are reflected in your proposal.

A satellite bar is an additional beverage service location separate from the primary bar. It can help distribute guests across a larger venue or create a distinct drink experience in another area. Pour Decisions considers your guest count, layout, and service plans when discussing whether an additional bar would be useful.

Yes. Our optional glassware upgrade replaces the standard disposable drinkware with thoughtfully selected glassware for a more refined presentation. We coordinate the selection and quantities around your beverage menu and event needs. Available options and pricing are confirmed in your personalized proposal.

A late-night bar refresh introduces new flavors, featured drinks, or a playful menu transition as your celebration continues. Available as an optional enhancement, it gives the bar a second moment while staying connected to the overall event experience. Selections and service arrangements are planned in advance.
