When you begin the process of wedding planning you’ve probably thought about the cake, the caterer, and, of course, the bar menu. But I bat you haven't yet thought about coffee. Coffee at a wedding adds an extra touch of warmth and charm to your special day. Whether you’re planning a cozy winter wedding or a lively summer celebration, coffee at your wedding is an experience your guests will remember.
Coffee Compliments Your Barn
Wedding Venue in Michigan Perfectly!
At Celestial Farms Wedding Venue in Clio, Michigan, we’ve seen firsthand how a well-planned coffee bar can elevate the wedding experience for our couples and their guests. As a year-round barn wedding venue in Michigan, we create memorable moments for couples and their guests in every season. With our new enclosed pavilion for winter ceremonies, fully staffed events, and included timeline planning and coordinating services, we make sure every wedding at Celestial Farms runs smoothly—including the perfect coffee service from our exclusive bartending partners at Cheers to You Bartending and Charcuterie.
Why a Coffee Bar is the Perfect Addition to Your Wedding
Whether it’s an afternoon pick-me-up before the festivities begin, a cozy treat during a winter ceremony, or a signature coffee cocktail at your reception, a coffee bar is a unique touch you and your guests will love. Here’s why you should consider adding coffee to your wedding day:
1. Coffee Complements Dessert Perfectly
Coffee enhances the flavors of cakes, pastries, and sweets which makes it hand in hand with desserts. Imagine pairing a hot, rich cup of freshly brewed coffee with a slice of your wedding cake or dessert. The contrast of warm coffee with sweet, mouth watering treats creates a delicious experience to remember.
At Celestial Farms, we're partnered with Cheers to You Bartending and Charcuterie to provide a seamless and top notch bar service and coffee experience that complements every wedding menu. Whether you’re serving a traditional wedding cake, a donut wall, or mixing it up with an eclectic dessert table, a fresh cup of coffee is the perfect pairing.
2. A Caffeine Boost to Keep the Party Going
Weddings are a marathon, not a sprint—even for your guests. From the ceremony to the last dance your guests are on their feet celebrating alongside of you almost all day. A late-night caffeine boost for your guests can re-energize which helps keep the dance floor packed until the very end.
With a well-timed coffee bar, guests can grab a fresh hot coffee, latte or espresso before they take their seats under the pavilion for a dreamy winter ceremony. Or they can grab their favorite coffee drink just after dinner to gear up for a night of fun on the dance floor. Or perhaps guests would enjoy a coffee to go at the end of the night or at "last call". Timing is everything. And a hot coffee is greatly appreciated at times like this.
3. Personalized Coffee Options for Every Guest
One of the best parts of having a coffee bar at your wedding is that it can be fully customized to enjoy your favorite coffee drink anytime you want throughout your wedding day. Cheers to You Bartending offers:
• Different coffee roasts and flavors (light, medium, dark, or flavored blends)
• Creamer options (classic dairy, oat milk, almond milk, and more)
• Sugar and sweetener choices (raw sugar, honey, flavored syrups, or sugar substitutes)
With these options your wedding guests can create their perfect cup, just the way they like it—from a simple black coffee to a creamy vanilla latte-extra foam.
4. Kid-Friendly Additions: Hot Chocolate & Apple Cider
Weddings should be fun for everyone. If you're including children, they'd love a hot cocoa. And if you have a guest that's not consuming alcohol beverages, a well crafted non-alcohol option is greatly appreciated. Along with a full coffee bar, Cheers to You Bartending offers hot chocolate and hot apple cider, making it a perfect addition for fall and winter weddings.
• Hot Chocolate – Rich, creamy, and topped with marshmallows or delicious whipped cream, it’s a comforting sweet treat that both kids and adults will love.
• Hot Apple Cider – A warm and spiced seasonal favorite, especially perfect for winter and fall weddings at Celestial Farms.
These cozy, family-friendly drinks ensure that every guest has a delicious beverage to enjoy. From the little ones to the sober ones to the grandparents, having some non-alcohol options is a great choice.
5. Coffee-Based Cocktails for a Fun Twist
For those of us that like to spike our coffee, (guilty), Cheers to You Bartending also offers coffee-based cocktails that can be added to your bar menu. You could even have a "signature" coffee drink or two! Some popular options include:
• Espresso Martini – A classy and energizing cocktail made with vodka, espresso, and coffee liqueur.
• Irish Coffee – A rich and warm blend of coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and cream.
• Bailey’s & Coffee – A smooth, creamy, and slightly sweet after-dinner drink.
Adding coffee-based cocktails brings a sophisticated, fun and a little unexpected element to your wedding celebration, giving guests another reason to have the best experience ever.
