For 30 guests at a 2-3 hour event, plan for 8-10 bottles of Prosecco. This assumes each guest has 1.5-2 glasses. For a mimosa brunch, increase to 12-15 bottles since guests tend to drink more sparkling wine at brunch events.
A standard 750ml bottle of Prosecco yields 5-6 glasses using a standard 4-5oz (125ml) pour. For mimosas, where you mix with juice, you can stretch to 8-10 drinks per bottle.
Plan for 1 drink per person per hour of your event. For a 3-hour party, that is 3 glasses per person, or roughly half a bottle per guest. Add 10-15% extra to be safe.
Yes, significantly. Quality Prosecco costs $12-25 per bottle, while true Champagne starts at $40-50 and goes much higher. For a 50-person event, you could save $300-500+ by choosing Prosecco. Most guests cannot tell the difference in a blind taste test.
For a mimosa bar, plan for 2-3 mimosas per person during a 2-hour brunch. Since mimosas are half Prosecco and half juice, one bottle makes 10-12 mimosas. For 30 guests, you would need 8-10 bottles of Prosecco plus 2-3 gallons of juice.
Unless you have wine connoisseurs attending, Prosecco is an excellent choice. It is lighter, fruitier, and more approachable than Champagne. The money saved can go toward better food, photography, or your honeymoon.
