Bar Policies
Beverage and Bar Services Policies explains the timeline, menu, upgrade options and final guest number count that is used to assure our best service for you and your guests. Please review this carefully and let us know of any questions. We follow these TAM® training guidelines: 1) alcohol is not permitted in the parking areas (this is also a St. Mary’s County regulation); 2) bartenders do not serve shots of alcohol at the bar or for toasts; and 3) bartenders reserve the right to refuse service.
Beverage and Bar Services Timeline
Beverage and Bar Services quoted in your agreement is for four hours and the bar time can be extended by 30 minute increments to 4.5 hr or 5 hr. Bar service starts immediately after the wedding ceremony, marking the beginning of the cocktail hour. We do not delay guest bar service if the wedding is foreshortened so please review your ceremony timeline carefully. Bar service runs continuously until, but not beyond, the end of the contracted bar time and in any case not beyond 10 pm.
The end of Beverage and Bar Services marks the end of the Wedding Reception.
Our practice is to provide a last call 15 minutes prior to the end of the bar closing.
Bar Menu & Upgrades
The Bar Menu offers high-quality liquors, wines and beers. You may request a special product or service as follows:
If there is a favorite drink among your family and guests that we will be asked to serve to special guests (i.e. whiskey sour for a favorite aunt) please let us know.
We can add specialty liquors, wines or beers that you request. We can check the availability and cost, then purchase the specialty item in quantity requested in your behalf.
We will ask you for specialty bar products and services, as noted in your contract, usually at the time of the bar deposit. Any bar product changes within 30 days of the wedding date will incur an additional $50/item service charge.
