Hi there

Generally we will encourage 1.5 glasses of each type required per person.

If we have a glass washing area at the Venue this is quite sufficient.

Feel free to phone or email if you require further assistance.

Thanks and Regards

We usually work on one of each per guest and have staff collecting and washing glassware throughout our service to ensure guests can always have a fresh glass whenever they want. It also depends on whether you are having glasses at your table setting as you may need extras for that if there is a significant gap between the begining of drink service and the sit down meal.

Normally we go with 60 of each. That should easily cover every possibilty

Hi,

Is there a glass wash area?

Will you be having a toast during speeches? where you give everyone a glass of bubbles

Will there be tap or bottled beer?

Hello! 

2.5 of each stem/style per guest is abundantly safe.

We usually work on between 4 and 5 glasses per person for a wedding but this depends on how many you want to set on the table to start with.  We also use a 'universal glass' that works well for Beer, Water or soft drinks, a bit of a multi purpose glass.  Generally the last thing we want to do is to have to wash glasses in the middle of service as this takes us away from our guests so its better to have a few extras!
