Summertime and early fall are traditionally the most popular times of year to get married. The arrival of wedding season means there is plenty of excitement, anticipation… and decision making! 

Everything from selecting a venue to finalizing the guest list and everything in between contributes to the magical experience of this special day. Deciding on what food and beverage will be served is one of the most important aspects of the celebration. After all, what’s a wedding without a delicious meal paired with good wine? 

Whether you're a connoisseur or a casual wine enthusiast, choosing the right selection can truly elevate your wedding reception and make it an even more memorable experience for your guests, and yourselves.

At SYLTBAR, we believe that you don’t need a special occasion to pop open a bottle of bubbly, especially our Mr Premium Prosecco and Mrs Sparkling Rosé. But in the event that you do have a special occasion coming up — like a wedding — we’ve got the best choices for you. Everyone loves to invite Mr and Mrs to their wedding. 

There are a lot of deciding factors to consider as you start thinking about what wine to serve at your wedding. Things like budget, guest count, time of year, and your menu all have an influence on what wines will be the best.

Budget

Let’s first talk about budget. Decide in the beginning how much of your wedding budget you want to allocate to your wine selection. A general rule of thumb is to plan for about half a bottle per guest. When you shop for your wedding with SYLTBAR, our customer service team can help you with the planning process to ensure you have just the right amount of bottles to serve your guests. As an added bonus, shipping is always complimentary when you purchase more than 12 bottles.

Time of the Year

Time of year is another interesting way to think about wine. Lighter wines like Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio are typically best during warmer months because of their crisp, refreshing flavors, while bolder reds like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and rich whites like Chardonnay are reserved for cooler temperatures. Lucky for you, Mr and Mrs SYLTBAR are delicious choices any time of year!

Pairing with Food

Another thing to consider is that your wine selections pair well with the food on your menu. Generally, red wines are served with red meats and hearty dishes, while white wines complement lighter fare such as chicken, fish, and vegetarian dishes. However, this is a loose rule — we are always open to experimenting with flavors and encourage you to do the same. Whether it’s a rich stew or a delicate white fish, we never think twice about adding a sparkling touch from Mr and  Mrs. 

Consider Eco-conscious wines

We also encourage you to consider supporting locally owned wine brands as well as brands that prioritize sustainable and organic harvesting practices. Our producers in Friuli, Italy are very environmentally conscious, rooted in sustainable winemaking and respect for Mother Nature. 

SYLTBAR for your Wedding

The best part of selecting SYLTBAR for your wedding? Our wines have zero additives or chemicals — that means no added sulfites! SYLTBAR wines are also low in calories and very low in sugar. In fact, Mr and Mrs were even lab-tested by the Diabetes Research Institute of the University of Miami, and found to have a significantly lower amount of sugar than other well known brands.

Mr is only 49 calories per 6 oz serving, and Mrs is only 63!  When you tell your wedding guests that you’re serving them low-calorie, low-sugar wine that has no added sulfites and is also vegan and organic, they will certainly thank you. 

If finding the best champagne for weddings is at the top of your planning itinerary, SYLTBAR should make the decision-making process a bit easier for you. 

Don’t let wedding planning stress you out. SYLTBAR offers the best wine for weddings and any other special occasions in your life — but always remember that it also makes the perfect every day drink as well.
