Cash Bar at the Wedding?

Last week CNN put up a poll regarding open bars at weddings. 37,000 people responded (myself included) and below are the results. My personal opinion is that you should provide something for free whether that is beer, wine or champagne. Your wedding party undoubtedly dropped a lot of money for this day, people are traveling to see you, and not to mention wedding gifts. As soon as the booze stops flowing, people leave. It depends on how much of a party you want.

Are you irked if there isn't an open bar at a wedding reception?
  • Beer and wine are fine, so long as they keep flowing freely. 38%
  • A full, open bar is a must, but I understand if that's too pricey. Cash bar is fine. 23%
  • I get annoyed if there isn't a full, open bar. No excuse for that. 15%
  • Dry weddings are just fine with me. 8%
  • I don't mind paying for beer and wine. 8%
  • No booze, no me. 5%
  • A dry wedding is a pain, but I'll deal. 3%
