Open bars can be great till the bill hits! You wouldn't believe how quickly even a small event can turn an open bar into a second mortgage!
I went to a (Greek) wedding where the reception was in the church hall and the catering company allowed them to supply their own alcohol. That way the $$ was spent in advance, there were not going to be any surprises, and there was a limit. (Although none of it ended up running out, however some very un-coutful [is that a word?] people actually walked out with full bottles of unopened liquor!!!!)
