The one vendor I am having a hard time finding is the bartender. We have already decided to serve just beer and wine to cut down on costs. Besides I am not sure that hard liquor really compliments Indian food. From what I understand, Vermont has strict liquor laws meaning that we cannot buy it ourselves and hire someone to serve the booze.
Our site vendor recommended a bar that also has bartenderers for hire. I had just assumed that we would use them, so I put off calling. When I finally called last week, I was unpleasantly surprised. First off, he wanted to charge me $3.50 for cheap domestic beer (Bud, Coors), $4.50 for Corona or similar, and $5 a glass for house wine. Second, he called me honey multiple times, which I really hate unless you are a waitress diner. I am still flabbergasted at the prices. It seems that if you are having an event, prices should be cheaper than if I was to go to a bar in DC not during happy hour.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions where I look for a more reasonable bartender? Or are these normal prices?
