Wedding bar hire · GuernseyWeddings with The Dirty Olive
We’ll help you put together a bar that fits your wedding, from the drinks reception to the evening party.
Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll take care of the drinks and look after your guests.
What to serve, and when.
It could be cocktails after the ceremony, a particular wine with dinner or a bar where guests choose their favourites all evening.
We’ll work out with you what to serve, how the bar will run and where each part fits into your day.
Our team runs the bar, so you can enjoy the day.
Your wedding bar
Choose how you’d like to host.
There are three ways to run your wedding bar, depending on how much of the drinks you’d like to pay for.
Guest-paid bar
We provide a fully stocked bar with a drinks menu agreed in advance. Your guests pay for their drinks as they order.
You can still pay for Champagne on arrival, wine with dinner or drinks for the toast.
Part-hosted bar
Treat your guests to welcome drinks, give each guest a drinks allowance or set up a bar tab for the evening.
Once the allowance is used up, guests can buy their own drinks, or you can top it up.
Fully hosted bar
If you’d prefer to cover the drinks throughout the celebrations, we’ll run a fully hosted bar.
We’ll agree the menu, service hours and any limits beforehand. Guests can then order from the agreed selection without paying individually.
Every wedding gets its own quote, and we explain any minimum spend and other costs before you book.
The drinks
Drinks for each part of the day.
Welcome drinks
Champagne, Prosecco, cocktails or an alcohol-free option. We’ll have drinks ready as guests arrive at the reception, after the ceremony or as they join the evening celebrations.
Wine for the table
Choose from our wine selection or tell us what you’re looking for. We’ll suggest wines to go with the meal and time the service around your wedding breakfast.
The wedding toast
Champagne is the usual choice, but you could toast with a favourite cocktail or something else entirely. We’ll have the drinks poured for the speeches, with alcohol-free alternatives too.
The evening bar
In the evening, the bar serves cocktails, spirits, wines, beer, cider and alcohol-free drinks.
We’ll agree the menu with you beforehand.
We can offer a tasting before your wedding, so you can try the drinks on your menu.
Make the drinks your own.
A cocktail of your own
Choose a favourite cocktail or work with us to create something for the occasion. Give it a name and we’ll add it to your drinks menu.
A Champagne tower
If you’d like a Champagne tower, we’ll arrange the set-up, prepare the glasses and have it ready for the photographer.
Something for everyone
We can include a good choice of alcohol-free cocktails, beers, wines and other alternatives, and drinks to suit any dietary requirements you tell us about.
Our service
We’ll look after the bar.
Every Dirty Olive wedding booking includes our mobile bar, a dedicated bar manager, professional bar staff and the equipment needed for your agreed drinks service.
We’ll help plan the menu, discuss the layout and timings with your venue, and coordinate the licensing if it’s needed.
On the day, our team prepares the bar, serves your guests until it closes and clears everything away afterwards.
Your quote confirms the details.
The wedding brochure.
Our wedding brochure covers the bar options, welcome drinks, table wines, personalised cocktails and the extras you can add.
Use it to check what you’ve chosen, or to find ideas.
After you book

Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll get your own Dirty Olive Client Portal.
Use it to check your event details, see the drinks you’ve chosen, find your documents and message our team as the wedding gets closer.
