Free Bar

The guests order their drinks, we ring them up and, at the end of the event, provide you with an itemised bill.

You place a certain amount of money behind the bar and once this runs out, the guests pay for their own drinks.

What Clients Say

We love our customers, and they love us
  • XLBars did our wedding bar and we were delighted with the service provided. Ian and Alison were really helpful and easy to work with. While we were happy to be guided by them for the most part, there were a few things that we wanted to have and they were very helpful in making this happen. They also provided a drinks package for our guests – welcome drink, wine on the table and Prosecco for the toasts – which was very reasonably priced and took a lot of work off our shoulders. Everything was very efficiently done, the bar staff were polite and hard-working and it all ran seamlessly on the day. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody.
