Cash Bar versus Host Bar
A host bar means that the host, bride and groom, pay for all the drinks at the wedding. A cash bar means that your guests pay for the drinks they consume.
It is not ideal to have a cash bar. Your guests expect that alcohol will be provided free of charge at your wedding. If your plans are to have a cash bar you should inform your guests.
The Avenue is one of the Vaughan banquet halls that will respect your wishes as to how you want the bar to run.
