Whenever I tell someone that we are going to have a four hour open bar the reaction I get is "you better watch out, people are going to get crazy." Some people have even told us to cut back on the length of the open bar. I thought most people would be excited about this? Well, Laura and I have no intentions of cutting back on the length of the open bar but my question is do people really get that drunk and crazy at weddings? I have heard stories, but I have never seen things first hand. What if “Dr. Shots” gets out of hand? Will Wynn security take care of him? (That would be funny). So I turn to Christine, catering manger at Wynn Las Vegas, for her thoughts.
Having catered events in 98 different countries I can tell you some wedding reception stories that would make a best seller! Remind me to tell you the story of the palm tree, the thong panties and the groom’s mistress, legendary tale. As good as the US Navy pilots wedding where guests did carrier landings with shaving cream on the bar story….
Depending on the part of the World/America you live in and the tone of the event people will react accordingly. The height of being a good host is providing for your guests every need during your reception. The pinnacle of being a great guest is honoring the event being celebrated in an appropriate way. Just being inside Wynn makes people feel a bit more elegant and polished so they tend to act the way they feel. Of course we insist on good behavior all the time so if for some reason one of your guests is found bat hanging naked off the Margaux Balcony howling at the moon, someone from our team in a professional way will help them to an exit then a taxi!
Now who would be bat hanging naked off the balcony? Gil? Mike? Greg? Ben? Mark or Mercedes? Most likely it will be my lovely bride! Just don't ask her to do the bull!
