At Celestial Farms Wedding Venue in Clio, Michigan, most couples choose to include alcohol as part of their celebration. When we're helping our couples plan their big day, bar and drink menu planning is an exciting part of the process! First, by choosing to form an exclusive relationship with our bartending partners, we make sure your drink menu planning is a breeze, cocktails are delicious and the service is nothing short of exceptional.
When we book a couple at Celestial Farms, we introduce them to our exclusive bartending partners to start the drink menu planning process. To get an idea of what your menu should be our bartenders will get to know our couples and get a 'taste' of their drink preferences and their personalities alike. Once our expert bartenders have an idea of the drinks you'd like to incorporate into your wedding bar menu they can begin suggestions for signature drinks, cocktail hour drinks, and your full bar menu options.
Why Choose a Signature Drink?
Personalization. Creating "his and hers" signature drinks is a great way to remind your guests about your style and individuality.
Simplification. Choosing just a few liquors for cocktail hour such as your signature drinks ingredients is a great way to speed up bar service at the busiest bar time of the event. A smaller bar menu for cocktail hour will minimize bar wait times tremendously.
Budget Friendly. Choosing signature drinks can eliminate the need for a full bar selection, therefore saving money on your total budget.

Naming Your Signature Drinks
Play on Your Names:
"Ashley and Cory's First Kiss"
"The Wilson Whiskey Sour"
Include Your Pet's Names:
"Lucy's Lavender Lemonade"
"Bella's Bellini"
Use Signature Colors:
"Blush Bliss"
"Golden Hour Glow" -Gold flakes or edible glitter would be a nice touch!
Honor a Favorite Destination:
"Port Austin Punch"
"Parisian Pear Martini"
Get Playful with Puns:
"Mint to be Mojito"
"Bloody Married"
Once a drink menu is established for your Celestial Farms wedding, each couple receives a detailed grocery list to purchase their alcohol, and they'll take home their leftovers. This approach to bartending services allows our couples to save quite a bit of money on their overall bar budget.
Non Alcoholic Options:
Mocktail versions of signature drinks is always a great way to consider your younger guests, and sober guests. A mocktail signature drink option will help all guests feel like they are partaking in the festivities of your wedding day. It's nice to consider those that prefer to not drink alcohol.
Presentation Matters:

Bar Menu's are a great way to display signature drink options, as well as the full list of beverages being served at your Detroit wedding venue bar. Our bartender's can create cute and eye catching menu's to display in front of the bar on an easel, or a flyer style menu on the bar. Having a picture of the drink is a nice way to let guests know what to expect. And it's a great opportunity to display the adorable signature drink names you've chosen!
Garnishes have come a long way! Some of our couples have had edible personalized garnishes made that float on the top of your drink. One of our couples had adorable edible images of their beloved cat's faces for their signature drinks. And there are so many edible flowers, colorful fruit slices and sugared rim options that can maximize the appeal of your drink options. Many of our couples also use personalized napkins, cups, stirrers and more to add their unique style that guests will remember forever.
Great Service Leaves a Lasting Impression on your Guests:
No matter what you decide to have on your wedding bar menu, great service is always served up at Celestial Farms for a truly fun, memorable and unique experience for all. We partner with only the best bartenders to alleviate the task of searching for the right bartending vendor. And service with a smile is a must here at our Detroit Michigan Wedding Venue! Our bartending partners have been carefully chosen by their passion for the wedding industry, passion for great cocktails, and of course passion for great service!
Bar Glass versus Plastic
Another way to elevate the guest experience surrounding your bar menu is to opt for the Celestial Farms Bar Glass Package. Having a glass of wine, or an amazing cocktail with garnishes and hand blended ingredients is ten times better when served from real glassware. Our 100 year old antique bookshelf bar is fully stocked with wine glasses, champagne flutes, martini glasses, margarita glasses and glass water goblets for up to 150 guests. When drinks are served from our bar glass the CF staff has the opportunity to better serve your guests when they are refilling water pitchers and bussing tables throughout the night. It creates a more upscale environment for an elegant and timeless wedding experience.
