Yes. Whiskey & Wildflowers regularly works with wedding planners, venues, and event coordinators throughout San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country to ensure every event runs smoothly from start to finish.

Our team understands the importance of coordination with venue staff and planners when it comes to event timelines, setup logistics, guest flow, and bar service operations. We communicate closely with the planning team to make sure our mobile bartending service and cigar bar experience integrate seamlessly with the overall event schedule.

The bar typically opens during cocktail hour, immediately following the wedding ceremony. This allows guests to relax, socialize, and enjoy drinks while the couple takes photos and transitions into the reception.

A common wedding bar timeline looks like this:

Cocktail Hour:Bar opens with beer, wine, and signature cocktails
Dinner Service:Bar remains open or limited to wine and beer depending on the couple's preference
Reception & Dancing:Full bar service continues throughout the celebration
Late Evening:Some couples introduce specialty experiences like a mobile cigar bar lounge and other vendors like snack carts or grazing boards
Bar Service

Whiskey & Wildflowers operates under the Texas dry-hire bartending model, which means the host or venue provides the alcohol for the event. This keeps your celebration compliant with Texas alcohol service regulations while giving you full control over the beverage selection — and there are no additional mark-ups.

You can purchase the alcohol you select on base, Costco, Total Wine, etc., and best of all, you keep any leftover spirits to use toward your next celebration. We also provide guidance on quantities and can assist with a recommended shopping list to help you purchase the right amount for your guest count.

Our team provides everything else needed for a professional and seamless bar experience: TABC-certified bartenders, bar setup, non-alcoholic mixers, garnishes, cups, tools, and custom drink menus.

We provide a complete mobile bartending experience designed to make your event seamless, professional, and enjoyable. Our service includes:

  • TABC-certified bartenders
  • Bar setup and breakdown
  • Essential bar tools and equipment
  • Non-alcoholic mixers, garnishes, cups, and napkins
  • Custom drink menu planning
  • Alcohol quantity recommendations based on your guest count
  • Cocktail preparation equipment

Depending on your event needs, we can bring as little or as much as you'd like — from a simple setup to a complete experience with custom cocktail menus, specialty mixers, and bar presentation elements tailored to your event style and vision.

Cigar Bar Experience

Yes, absolutely. A mobile cigar bar experience is one of the most popular additions for weddings and special events. Whiskey & Wildflowers offers a curated cigar lounge setup that allows guests to relax, socialize, and enjoy premium cigars during your celebration.

Our mobile cigar bar includes a selection of premium cigars, elegant display setups, cutters, lighters, ashtrays, and optional cigar hosts who assist guests with selecting and enjoying their cigars. Many couples choose to introduce the cigar lounge during cocktail hour, after dinner, or later in the evening as guests transition into a more relaxed social atmosphere.

Cigar lounges are especially popular for Texas Hill Country weddings, outdoor receptions, ranch venues, and late-night wedding celebrations. We work directly with your venue to ensure authorization of tobacco products and a seamless setup while following all state and local laws.

The number of cigars needed depends on your guest count and how many guests are likely to participate. In most weddings, only a portion of guests will enjoy cigars, so a common guideline is to plan for about 20–30% of your total guest count.

Guest CountRecommended Cigars
100 guests20–30 cigars
150 guests30–45 cigars
200 guests40–60 cigars

Many couples choose to offer a curated selection of premium cigars so guests can choose something that fits their preferences. Our mobile cigar bar experience can include a variety of cigar styles along with cutters, lighters, ashtrays, and optional cigar hosts.

Popular Wedding Cigar Options:

  • Connecticut — smooth & mild
  • Habano — balanced flavor
  • Maduro — bold & rich

If you're unsure how many cigars to plan for, our team is happy to recommend quantities and cigar selections based on your guest count and event style.
