How to plan glassware for an event
Start from the drink menu. A wine-and-champagne reception needs wine glasses and flutes or coupes. A full cocktail bar adds rocks and highball glasses, and a martini or coupe if drinks are served up. Water service at seated tables needs a water glass at each place plus pitchers or carafes.
Guests often take a fresh glass for each drink, so plan extras beyond your headcount, especially for a long cocktail hour without glass collection. Tell us the guest count, the length of the event and the drink menu, and we will help you settle the quantities on the quote.
