San Diego, California

Mobile Bar / Servers

In San Diego: Two bar services are listed. That's a short shelf, and the three labeled alternatives beneath them — for couples buying their own alcohol — are the practical answer for most weddings here, since bar work in this market is usually bundled into catering or handled in-house by the venue rather than booked as a stand-alone company. Read your venue's own alcohol rules closely before you plan around either option: Balboa Park bans alcohol entirely west of Cabrillo Bridge and across all Mission Bay parks and beaches, and Cabrillo National Monument permits none at all at its wedding site. If your venue does allow outside alcohol, get the corkage terms in writing and confirm whoever pours is licensed and insured — a generous relative with a cooler is not a bar service, whatever their intentions.

Buying the beer, wine and spirits yourself

These are retail sources, not event services — nobody here staffs your bar. Where your venue allows it, buying the alcohol yourself and hiring a licensed bartender to serve it is usually the cheapest way to do this line. The rules vary by state, by county and by venue, so confirm what yours permits — and whether your setup needs its own permit — before you count on the saving.
