Late wedding last night, ended at 1am with an after-party. I have just 1 question for these knuckle-headed sales people:You book a wedding with a 5 hour open bar then you allow then to have an after party for another hour after that? How drunk do you want them to get?
What about our liquor license? How do you expect us to cut off these drunks when, if we do, their less-drunk friend will get a drink for them. It's as easy at that. And just because they are staying in the hotel and not driving home doesn't mean that they can get bombed.
What about the few jerks that do drive home. After they crash and kill someone, will you as the Sales Chick be the one that gets sued along with the poor bartender that is trying to not only do his job but be a policeman at the same time.
Screw you Sales Chick!
I cut them off, the whole party, after 25 minutes.
That's right!
That's right!
I rolled the bars outta the room, had my waiters remove the back bar glasses and ice bins, and walked right up to the father of the bride (he was just as drunk too that dick-head), and told then that for their own safety the bar is closed.
Of course he and the other after-party asses flipped out. I DON'T CARE!
You deal with the complaints on Monday.

Why do people feel it is necessary to get a drunk on AT a WEDDING I will never know.
At all three of my brother's weddings [yes, three - he is on his fourth as I type this] he was drunk before the ceremony and it went downhill from there. In fact, at his second wedding we had to go FIND him in a bar around the corner from the church at 11 am just to get him to the ceremony.
Yeah, none of us really wonder why he is on his fourth marriage.
[Sorry about that - I can empathize. I have had to cut off my share of drunks in my time]
I totally understand your situation. There has been SO many weddings where I've had to tell my bartenders that this person has had enough and then get completely barked at by someone for it. They just don't understand the consequences for us if something does happen, and when I do cut someone off, its always 5 beers after a normal bar would have. At least one wedding a month has issues similar to this!
From this "sales chick"'s perspective, I bet you and your staff are thankful to be gainfully employed, especially in today's economy (you should be). You're welcome for booking that wedding, but also for up-selling the "after party" and bringing in additional revenue. You are protected by the law to cut people off at any time and believe it or not, sales people understand and support that.
Fuck you Nonny.
More to follow.
I'm tired.
Well, it's their daily job and so i don't think they have any problem for opening bar upto late night.
