Portland, Oregon

Mobile Bar / Servers

In Portland: Three bar services are listed. That's a short shelf, and the two 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 often bundled into catering or handled in-house by the venue rather than booked as a stand-alone company. If you're marrying in a Portland city park, know that alcohol is otherwise prohibited there and needs its own permit separate from your venue booking -- BYOB beer and wine is allowed under a wedding permit, with proof of insurance required at 50 or more guests, while hosted or served alcohol needs a further permit on top of that. Confirm which side of the Columbia your reception falls on before you assume one state's rules apply, since Oregon and Washington regulate this separately.

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.

Details change constantly — confirm directly before booking. Something wrong? Update or remove a listing.
