Your cocktail hour is the first taste your guests get of the night ahead, and at Lucien’s Manor, we build ours around a full bar plus real options for guests who aren’t drinking. We’ve been one of the original wedding venues in the area for over four decades, and in that time we’ve learned that a thoughtful bar does as much for your reception as the meal that follows it. Here’s how we build signature drinks and mocktails into weddings for couples across South Philadelphia, Atlantic County, and Ocean County.
Lucien’s Manor in Berlin, NJ, builds custom signature drinks and mocktails into every wedding package alongside a five-hour premium open bar with top-shelf liquor and wine, offering enhancements like a martini bar with an ice luge, a coffee and espresso station, and sparkler send-offs for couples across South Philadelphia, Atlantic County, and Ocean County.
Signature Drinks and Mocktails at Lucien’s Manor
When you plan your wedding with Lucien’s Manor, your bar is never an afterthought. We treat it as its own part of the day, built alongside your menu and your ceremony from our very first meeting with you. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
What Our Open Bar Includes
At Lucien’s Manor, every wedding package comes with a five-hour premium continuous open bar, so your bar never runs dry between your first toast and your last dance. We pour top-shelf liquor, including Grey Goose, Johnny Walker Black, Jameson, and Maker’s Mark, alongside a wine list that runs from Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Grigio to Prosecco and Freixenet Cava Brut, plus Miller Lite, Heineken, Blue Moon, and Yuengling on tap. We open your cocktail hour with a champagne toast, and your bridal suite comes stocked with its own champagne and hot and cold hors d’oeuvres throughout your reception, so you’re never waiting on a server for a refill. It’s all part of the same cuisine we build around your day.
Building Your Signature Drinks and Mocktails
On top of the standard bar, we build signature drinks and mocktails into your package, so your cocktail hour has something that belongs to your day instead of a standard drink list. Your event specialist works with you from your first consultation to shape those choices around the rest of your wedding, from your open bar and hors d’oeuvres to your reception timeline.
Specialty Stations Worth Adding
For couples who want their bar to be a moment guests remember, we offer a martini bar with an ice luge and a custom ice bar as enhancements, both built to be a centerpiece rather than a side table. Later in the night, our international coffee and espresso station pours espresso and cappuccino alongside premium cordials like Baileys Irish Cream, Grand Marnier, and Disaronno Amaretto, set up right next to our Viennese sweet table. You can browse our gallery for a closer look at Lucien’s Manor.
Ending the Night with Sparklers
Once dessert winds down, we send you off with sparklers, giving your guests one more moment together before you leave as a married couple. Ask your event specialist to add sparklers, along with your signature drinks and mocktails, when you sit down to build your package.
One Team, One Bar, One Less Thing to Plan
We handle your bar the same way we handle everything else, as one part of a wedding day run by one team. Your event specialist and maitre d work through your bar choices with you starting at your first consultation, and your bridal attendant stays with you through your reception, so you’re never chasing anyone down for another glass.
