I worked as a wedding bartender my last two years in college...as a waiter at weddings before that. I have also been to dozens of weddings as a participant or as a friend of the family.

I have never worked/attended a large (120 person plus) wedding that wasn't a goat rope...too much logistics involved.

I worked some really high dollar weddings in the Bay Area and pretty much saw it all. I actually had a FOTB mouth, "Help me" while I was fixing him a drink and the bride was wearing him out over his shoulder. Something was amiss.

I did get a lot of "referrals" for what it is worth. Good to be straight in the SF Bay Area in the late 70's, early 80's.

The keys to a successful wedding:

- Open bar
- Informal dress code after the ceremony and pictures
- Inside/Outside venue in the afternoon
- Live music or a really good DJ
- Buffet: No one likes a sit down meal at a wedding. No one. A small, ****ty salad doesn't taste better when delivered.


The only people who care about the food at a wedding are inconsequential, borderline psychotic.
