Tips for Serving Champagne to 60 Guests

  • โœ“ Chill to 45ยฐF for best taste
  • โœ“ For toasts only, 1 glass per person is enough
  • โœ“ Buy sparkling wine for budget-friendly option
  • โœ“ Open carefully - point away from guests
  • โœ“ Have extra for refills at New Year's or weddings

Service Plan for 60 Guests

For a event, plan on approximately 90 total servings over a 3-hour event. Keep a 10-15% buffer so you can handle late arrivals and heavier-than-average consumption.

Because champagne is typically served alongside other drinks, set a second non-alcoholic option to avoid over-concentration on a single beverage and reduce stockout risk.

  • Prep checklist: 108+ cups, 90+ lbs of ice, and backup storage nearby.
  • Chill strategy: pre-chill at least 70% before service to reduce ice melt and dilution.
  • Replenishment cadence: refresh serving stations every 30-45 minutes instead of all at once.
