The bar opens during cocktail hour, immediately following your ceremony, and remains open for up to 5 continuous hours of service. All bar service must end by 10:00 PM.

Note: If you have an earlier ceremony and would like a longer bar service, you may extend your hours, however all bar service must end by 10:00 PM.

Last call is always made 15 minutes before the end of your 5th hour of service, and no later than 9:45 PM.

No. Per the Missouri Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control, all alcohol served at licensed venues must come through the venue’s liquor license. If guests bring in outside alcohol, it creates a violation that puts our license at risk. The venue—not the guest—is legally responsible, and penalties can include fines or even loss of license. To protect both you and Southern Charm Estate, any outside alcohol will be removed immediately, and guests may be asked to leave if the rule is broken. This ensures your celebration remains safe, compliant, and worry-free.

Yes! We can absolutely accommodate special requests, including His & Her Signature Drinks customized to your taste. We even have a package designed around creating a personalized bar menu, so your cocktails reflect your style as a couple.

We offer both hosted and cash bar options, as well as the flexibility to combine them (for example, hosted beer and wine with a cash bar for spirits).

Typically, two of our staff bartenders will be provided for your event. Larger guest counts may require additional bartenders to ensure fast, efficient service.

Yes. Per Missouri state law, bartenders are required to check the ID of anyone who appears under the age of 30. Please inform your guests in advance—if a guest cannot produce a valid ID when asked, they will be politely declined service.

Yes, all mixers and garnishes are included with our bar services. Non-alcoholic drinks such as sodas are available on a pay-by-the-drink basis, unless you’ve purchased a hosted bar package that includes them.

Note: Sodas, tea, water, and lemonade are included with all hosted bar packages.

All standard drinks are served in heavy-duty disposable plastic cups, sized appropriately for each beverage. Glassware is only provided for the mimosa bar when it is added à la carte or included with a hosted bar package.

For the safety and comfort of everyone, we do not serve shots or double pours. While they can feel like fun options, they lead to much faster consumption and increase the risk of over-intoxication. Our goal is to keep the celebration enjoyable, safe, and seamless for all of your guests—so we focus on well-crafted cocktails, signature drinks, and classic pours that everyone can enjoy throughout the evening.

For safety and compliance, our bartenders will politely decline further service to any guest who appears intoxicated, as required by Missouri law. In these situations, our staff handles the matter discreetly and respectfully to avoid disruption, while ensuring the well-being of both the guest and the celebration.

Our cash bar accepts credit/debit cards and cash.
