Anyone planning to host a cocktail party is unconsciously saying “I’m sick of the usual beer, wine and champagne and I want something different, exciting and fun”. Cocktail parties by their nature are rather intimate gatherings of like-minded people who enjoy the sophistication and allure that only a well-made cocktail can offer.

​

Being that these events are quite intimate with between 20-50 guests and have a typical service time of four hours, the most suitable drinks package is the Open Bar. This can either be done as a Full Bar option, which will include cocktails, beer, spirits, wine, champagne and mocktails, or Cocktails Only, where only selected cocktails are served.

​

If your cocktail party is expected to be an extremely low-consumption event with 30-50 guests, then the On the TAB package may be more suitable. An example would be that your 95-year-old grandmother is having Sunday afternoon drinks to reminisce about the beautiful cocktails she used to drink in her 20s. All of her friends are attending, including those who have a day-leave pass from the aged-care facility. In this case, an On the TAB package with the monetary equivalent of 80-100 drinks would be more cost effective than an Open Bar and doesn’t compromise on the level of service in any way.
