General Information

The information and calculations provided by Wedding Floorplan are for general informational and planning purposes only. Our alcohol calculator, ice estimator, and seating chart tools are designed to provide helpful estimates, not definitive requirements.

Estimates Only

All calculations generated by our tools are estimates based on general industry standards and averages. These include:

  • Approximately 1 drink per guest per hour of reception
  • Standard serving sizes (5oz wine, 12oz beer, 1.5oz spirits)
  • Average ice consumption of 1.5 lbs per guest
  • Standard bottle yields (5 glasses per wine bottle, 16 drinks per liquor bottle)

Your actual needs may vary significantly based on factors including:

  • Guest drinking preferences and habits
  • Time of day and season of your event
  • Whether a full bar or limited selection is offered
  • Venue policies and catering requirements
  • Weather conditions (affecting ice needs)
  • Duration and style of your reception

Professional Consultation

We strongly recommend consulting with your caterer, venue coordinator, or a professional event planner to finalize your beverage and supply orders. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific event details.

Legal Drinking Age

All references to alcohol are intended for guests of legal drinking age. Please ensure compliance with all local laws regarding alcohol service at your event.

No Responsibility

Wedding Floorplan is not responsible for:

  • Shortages or excess purchases based on our estimates
  • Any costs incurred from over or under-ordering
  • Decisions made based on our calculator results
  • Any issues arising from your event planning

Use at Your Own Risk

By using our planning tools, you acknowledge that you understand these limitations and accept full responsibility for your wedding planning decisions. Our tools are meant to be a helpful starting point, not a replacement for professional advice.
