Finishing Touches
Marshall Paulsen
One of the most enjoyable parts of planning a bar for your event is thinking about how to make it feel personal and memorable for your guests. While our base packages cover beer, wine, and spirits, adding specialty options can give your bar its own personality and create small moments that people will remember long after the party ends.
Add-ons can highlight flavors your guests love, offer interactive experiences, or simply bring a bit of surprise and delight. Root beer floats, a fancy water station, or a fresh lemonade and Arnie Palmer setup can be playful and refreshing, while options like an Old Fashioned bar, bourbon flights, or Aperol spritz varieties lean into a more elevated cocktail experience. Each choice is a way to reflect your style, the season, or the vibe of the event.
We approach these add-ons with the same philosophy that guides everything we do at Picnic: inclusive, polished, and thoughtful. We aim to create setups that are welcoming to all guests, sustainable with compostable or recyclable materials, and functional for smooth service. Even small touches like seasonal garnishes, creative presentation, or unique glassware can make a big impression without complicating the experience.
Working together during the planning process, we’ll help you select enhancements that fit seamlessly with your base package, your event type, and your guests’ tastes. Every add-on is an opportunity to create a little more connection, fun, and personality in the bar experience, whether you’re hosting a wedding, private party, corporate gathering, or public event.
By thinking about the bar as more than just a place to get drinks, you can turn it into a feature of the event itself—something that invites interaction, conversation, and enjoyment. With a mix of thoughtful options and your own creative input, your bar can become a highlight that people talk about long after the last toast.
Here are some examples of the types of add-ons we offer to customize your bar experience. These range from playful and nostalgic to elevated and sophisticated, giving you plenty of ways to make your event feel unique.
