Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone is a firm believer that details matter.... with that being said, I love to incorporate signature drinks into any event. Matching your wedding or special event with a Signature Drink is a great way to add wow to your details. The drinks should be fun and creative to match the theme and tone of your event.
Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone's mixologist can create a custom Signature Drink to accent and add excitement to your event.
When considering what drink to serve, remember to think of the type of guests you've invited. Are they drinkers, non-drinkers? Also, mind the liquor ingredients, you don't want your guests to be intoxicated before the party even starts! So, nothing too outrageously strong and nothing too frilly so that the male guests don't feel like they are drinking soft drinks.
For guests who are non-drinkers, always have a non-alcoholic version of your signature drink so that they don't feel left out and can enjoy your offerings as well.
As an overall alternative, if you prefer no alcohol, you can always offer tasty, specialty ice teas to all of the guests as your Signature Drink.
The color and style of the drink should be reflective of your color theme and of your own personality as the host. Choose colors that will compliment your theme, or go colorless which will always blend with any color scheme.
The glasses or the containers that will hold the drinks are very important as well, as this will enhance the whole experience. (It's all in the packaging!)
Lastly, there are several choices on how to serve the drinks. If your event is a little more formal, you would want to have the drinks tray severed by the venues' staff. If the event is outdoors or more casual, you may wish to set up a self-serve table, decorated beautifully, for the guests to retrieve at their leisure. Another option is to have a tended bar serving the drinks to guests as they walk up for either formal or casual.
Salute!
