Cannabis Bar vs. Open Bar at Your Wedding

The open bar has been a wedding staple for generations. Today, a second bar is showing up at receptions: the cannabis bar. Adding a cannabis bar to your wedding is less about choosing between the two than about giving every guest a way to celebrate.

Not either/or: why couples add a cannabis bar

A cannabis bar runs alongside your open bar, not instead of it. Guests who love a cocktail have one. Guests who would rather skip alcohol have an elegant alternative, and the ones who want both can enjoy each at their own pace. Think of it the way you think of the bar itself: approachable and refined, with a professional behind it.

What goes on a wedding cannabis bar menu

Your menu can be as simple or as full as your celebration:

  • Signature vape bar: top of the line desktop and portable vaporizers for flower and extracts
  • Concentrates: our dab bar, where vaporizing extracts grants easy temperature control
  • Craft infused mocktails: fresh ingredients, flavorful terpenes and carefully selected THC and/or CBD dosages, so guests can raise a glass without alcohol
  • Edibles and drinkables: a discreet, inhalation-free option
  • Cannagars and pre-rolls: from El Blunto, for the classic cannabis lover

Smoke-free, low dose, all night

Our bars lead with a smoke-free approach. Low-temperature vaping brings out the true flavor and aroma of cannabis without the harshness of burnt flowers, and it keeps guests active and engaged with the celebration rather than using cannabis as a way to disconnect. Many venues now permit vaping, while traditional smoking often remains off-limits.

Low doses are the heart of it. A wedding is a long day, and a sessionable experience lets your guests enjoy it from the first dance to the last song, without getting overwhelmed or over-consuming.

The budtender is your bartender

Every Grassfed cannabis bar is run by a professional budtender, a cannabis concierge who presents the options, recommends appropriate THC and CBD levels, and guides each guest on dosage and strains. They sanitize the equipment between uses and tailor every serving to the guest in front of them.
