We're based in Toronto, ON but getting married in Victoria, BC.
We've got our bartending service booked, and as part of their package they offer 2 signature drinks. The problem is we won't be able to meet for a tasting session until a week before the wedding.
Pinterest is lovely for drink aesthetics, but we need to find a way to "test" drinks from across the country, so that our bartending service can know what to prepare for our tasting session.
We know we want the drinks to have meaning (Maybe something to do with our individual likes), and have fun/cute names.
We've asked our coordinator to help us problem solve, but my FH asked me to check in with the WW community for solutions as well.
Are you getting married in the GTA? How did you determine your signature drinks?
Should we find a local bar and ask them to make us drinks? We'd need a place that had creative options, but nothing too over the top or expensive.
Maybe a hotel bar, like the Thompson or the Broadview?
Does anyone have any recommendations for local bars known for their cocktails?
On top of being delicious, do your signature drinks match your wedding colours, theme, or personalities as well?
Full disclosure: We did reach out to a local bartending service months ago, but that was back when we thought we'd have a group tasting session during the holidays. With less than 60 days to our big day, we just don't have the time or the means to coordinate a pre wedding tasting session now.
