Welcome drinks

Enhance the reception experience for your guests with our delightful welcome drinks. As your attendees arrive at your wedding, our professional staff will warmly greet them, offering a choice of refreshing beverages such as water, lemonade, wine, or even a low alcohol by volume (ABV%) cocktail while they await the commencement of the ceremony.

To streamline service and ensure every guest has timely access to a drink, we can arrange for the drinks to be elegantly presented on trays, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall experience.

Reception Cocktail (Post Ceremony)

The reception marks a moment for celebratory toasts with effervescent bubbles. Following the ceremony, we suggest treating your guests to a glass of champagne, sparkling wine, or perhaps a couple of cocktails to kick off the festivities. For this stage, we recommend lighter options with low alcohol by volume (ABV%), such as spritzers, wines, beers, and juices.

To enhance service and ensure every guest can easily access a drink, consider having the beverages served on trays. This not only adds a touch of elegance but also guarantees that all attendees can enjoy a drink promptly and seamlessly.

Wedding Bar in Loulé

We have finally had time to catch our breath after the wedding! Just to say we’d love to leave you a review and will tag you in any photos when we have them as you, your team, and Southside were AMAZING!!! We had so many compliments on the wine with dinner, then everyone loved the cocktails so much, especially the Paloma, I was so happy we got to do the champagne tower too. I know the weather made everything challenging but you went above and beyond for us and we were so grateful thank you!!

Wedding Bar in Évora

I wanted to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the service provided at the wedding. You went above and beyond, even beyond the confines of the bar area when requested… I work in hospitality and events and this style of work really does mean a lot. A great asset…

Vow Renewal in Alvor

Jamie and the team smashed it!!!!!! We selected their Open Bar (Essentials) package for our Vow renewal in August 2023. We found their packages on their website clear and easy to address what we wanted. The package was perfect for us and our guests loved it. The staff remember the drinks our guests had and liked and they even pro-actively made sure our guests where topped up throughout. Highly recommend this amazing company. They didn't need power or fridges, they came totally prepared.
