As we enter wedding season, we are here to answer the big question. What is everyone going to drink? From non-alcoholic drink options and lots of outdoor venues going glass free, what are your options?  

Why You Should Use Canned Cocktails at Your Wedding 

Cocktails are a classic serve for Wedding drinks whether you serve them as welcome drinks, reception drinks or in the evening. Well, here’s the 4 reasons why you should choose canned cocktails at your wedding: 

  • Time saver: Rather than have your guests standing and waiting for a bartended to mix up a cocktail, just grab a cold can from the fridge and serve. Saving more time for socialising and dancing.  

  • Stylish and functional: Incorporate the cans into the day by choosing to add them into an ice bucket for guests to grab. Gather Cocktail Cans add a pop of colour and décor to your day. 

  • More choice: Don’t just serve one cocktail; by using cocktail cans you can add more variety to suit everyone. 

  • Sustainable: In recyclable cans these cocktails create less mess than cocktail glassware as guests can just throw them away.  

Choose between classic cocktails that are sure to be a crowd pleaser from All Shook Up Cocktails or luxury cocktails with a twist from Gather Gourmet Cocktails
