Planning a dry wedding? You’re not alone. While your typical cocktail-serving bar is always a good time, why not shake things up a bit with these non-alcoholic alternatives? More and more couples are choosing zero-proof celebrations, and not only is it totally doable, it’s incredibly chic. In fact, non-alcoholic bars are one of the biggest trends in modern weddings right now. Whether you’re going booze-free for lifestyle, faith, or budget reasons, a thoughtfully designed dry bar can be just as stylish, interactive, and memorable as any cocktail setup. From signature mocktail stations to bubbly zero-proof toasts, these ideas prove that “alcohol-free” can still feel festive, elevated, and completely unforgettable.

Perfect for late-night energy! A barista cart can whip up lattes, cappuccinos, or iced brews with custom syrups. This gives your guests a cozy pick-me-up that doubles as dessert.
Tea Bar

Offer an assortment of loose-leaf teas (iced and hot), with honey sticks, infused sugars, and milk alternatives. Guests can blend their own or sip a pre-set “signature wedding blend.”
