Anyone who has ever planned a wedding reception knows the old adage: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. And of course it did! I thought everything was taken care of: the invitations were all sent, the R.S.V.P.'s received, the food catered and the reception site reserved when disaster struck!

The caterer didn't have my favorite drink available. Not only was it my favorite but half the guests expected it as well. That is when I began to panic. But then a friend told me about Wedding Bars. The reception was just a couple of days away and I was worried that no one could come to my rescue in such a short time. I quickly ran to the telephone and rang them up. They assured me they not only did they have my favorite available but that they would have it in any quantity that I desired. I also inquired as to whether they could supply a decent amount of a secondary Food and Drink, just in case my guests wanted some variety.

The people at the mobile bar hire said that it was no problem and offered me a rather large selection of beverages to choose from. I made my selections and they assured me that the order would be delivered on time and would be ice cold.

All that they required was a deposit on the kegs and a table and access to an electrical main. Even with these assurances I was still worried. Would my hiring a wedding bar, on such short notice eventually let me down, would they be on time and have the right beverage in the quantities I needed?

At last the wedding arrived and, needless to say, I had more on my mind than whether or not the wedding bar people would come through. The ceremony was perfect and everyone was in tears at the end.

After we left the church and headed straight for the After Party. When we arrived at the site I was surprised to see that far more people were in attendance than I originally planned for. There was plenty of food and drink, but I knew me and my new husband's friendswould there be enough to drink as they some of them drank like fish's?

I was worried if the wedding bar hold up under the onslaught of thirsty, happy guests? I made my way over to the tables where they had set up and sighed with relief! It was clear that the all of the people at the wedding bar had everything in hand.

There were already tapped kegs being poured into waiting glasses, also, there was a plenty supply of untapped kegs of beer and lager waiting in the wings.

I noticed that one of the Employee's saw me looking at the untapped kegs and discretely let me know that I would only be charged for the kegs that were tapped. With a great sigh of relief I decided to go on and finally enjoy enjoy myself. I was delighted! When I joined the guests I noticed that they had set up two mobile bars at opposite ends of the area, so there were no crowds or long lines for service. The people were very professional, kind, and courteous to everyone. After a while they didn't seem like servers but it was like they were part of the guest list.

In the wee hours of the evening, after the reception finally wound down, the mobile bar was quickly taken down, the cups and glasses cleared away and the cooler was disconnected.

I had to blink twice for there was no unsightly mess to remove. It was though they had never been there! But I could tell from the smiles on my guests faces that they, in fact, had been there and everyone had had a marvelous time! If ever you have to reserve beverages for your marriage reception, I suggest going to a wedding bar first, the rest will be a piece of cake (wedding cake that is)!
