Drink Amounts and how much to Buy

So many times people ask me about how much punch or alcohol they need to buy for a wedding or party here at The Farm. Here is a good rule of thumb:

Punch
24 people per gallon of punch
Champagne
1 case ( 12 fifths) serves 50 people ( 82 drinks). A champagne fountain will operate with as little as 3 bottles of champagne and as much as 5 gallons.
Coffee
2 to 3 per person for a 3 hour party
Cocktail napkins
2 to 3 per person for a 3 hour party

If you are entertaining 20 guests ....
for pre-dinner cocktails:
40 - 60 drinks, about (four fifths required)
for a party:
60 - 80 drinks, about(seven fifths required)

If you are entertaining 25 guests....
for pre-dinner cocktails:
50 - 70 drinks, aboutfive fifths required)
for a party:
75 - 100 drinks, about ( seven fifths required)

If you are entertaining 40 guests.....
for pre-dinner cocktails:
80 to 120 drinks, about (eight fifths required)
for a party:
120 - 150 drinks, about (ten fifths required)

*** best to use quarts for fifths!!!!

"The Rock"

"The Rock" enjoys a variety of daily activities, including eating handouts from wedding guests, watching over wedding ceremonies, and getting scratched by whoever is willing to lend him a hand. He's definitely not camera shy...but watch your bouquet!

The Farm is adding cabins

The Farm is buzzing with activity. We have just started building our first of 8 cabins for our guests. They should be up and running by the first of July. Asheville is such a fabulous place for outdoor weddings and since The Farm is only 8 miles from the center of Asheville we have the best of both worlds.... scenic pastural setting close to the city !!!!
