Wedding Planning Just Got Easier: 5 Tips from a Newlywed + Copa Bar’s Marketing Coordinator

Hi, I’m Chloe—Copa Bar Service’s new marketing coordinator! As a Gen Z bride who just survived the chaos of wedding planning, I know how overwhelming it can get. But don’t worry—I’ve got your back. Whether you're searching for a bartender for your wedding, trying to figure out how much alcohol you’ll need, or browsing bars in Salt Lake City UT for inspiration, these tips are here to help.

Let’s make planning smoother, less stressful, and a whole lot more fun.

1. Prioritize Your Vendors Early

One of my biggest takeaways? Book your key vendors early. That includes your venue, photographer, and yes—your bar service. Copa Bar Service offers a stress-free, all-in-one mobile bar experience that’s perfect for weddings, parties, and events. Whether you want to hire a bartender or go with a full team, Copa makes the booking process seamless. Pst—check out our sister company, Indigo Event Rentals, for all things glassware and decor!

2. Use The Knot to Stay Organized

TheKnot.com was my best friend throughout the planning process. It kept my checklist, guest list, and timeline all in one place. Bonus? Copa Bar Service is in The Knot’s Best of Weddings Hall of Fame—so you can trust that you're in great hands.

3. Get Your Guest Count Right (and Use a Wedding Alcohol Calculator)

You don’t want to run out of drinks—or overspend. Copa’s wedding alcohol calculator (also known as their beverage calculator for wedding) helps you figure out the perfect quantity based on your guest count and drink preferences. It’s an easy tool every couple should use. Searching for a drink calculator for wedding? This one is reliable, accurate, and created by industry pros. It’s also customizable—you only want soda and mocktails? No problem!

4. Decide How Much You Want to DIY

Want a hands-on experience? Copa offers a DIY-friendly package with their Rolling Taps mobile bar, where you can stock it yourself and keep costs low. Prefer to kick back and relax? Their full-service event bartending option takes care of everything for you. Whether you’re planning a rustic backyard party or a formal ballroom bash, Copa’s flexibility fits your vibe.

5. Trust Your Vendors and Enjoy the Moment

The best advice I got: Don’t micromanage on your big day. If you choose experienced vendors like Copa Bar Service, you can truly relax and enjoy. With your bartender for wedding duties covered, all you need to do is show up, sip, and celebrate.

Whether you're looking to hire a bartender, explore top-rated bars in Salt Lake City UT, or calculate exactly how much to serve with a wedding alcohol calculator, Copa Bar Service has you covered. As a former bride and now part of the Copa team, I can say with confidence—you’re in great hands.
