Bar and alcohol policies at Brooklyn venues run the gamut. Some venues let you bring your own wine for a corkage fee, others require exclusive in-house bar service, and a few creative spaces are fully BYO with no restrictions. Understanding what's included — and what alcohol will actually cost — is essential for any budget.
Bar service typically costs $60–120 per person. Venues that require their in-house bar (at premium prices) vs. those that allow BYO can represent a $5,000–15,000 difference for a 100-person wedding.
