Ace Beverage, Beverage Catering & Delivery

Working with Ace Beverages made having a great bar for our wedding guests so easy. Their exceptionally fair prices, expertise in making sure you have the right quantity and variation of beverages for your guests, reliability, and flexibility in handling last-minute updates reduced so much wedding planning stress.

We used Ace Beverage for our wedding at the recommendation of our caterer, and we're so happy we did. Alina's wine recommendations were fantastic, including my favorite Sauvignon Blanc I've ever had. We have some family and friends who seriously know their wine, and even they were impressed. The whole process was smooth, and it's great that Ace will buy back leftover alcohol. Of course, we had to keep some of the leftover bottles for personal use. :) Thanks, Alina!

We used Ace Beverage for the alcohol at our wedding and the process went very smoothly. They are pros! Using Ace saved us a ton of time and money. I strongly recommend using Ace instead of trying to handle the alcohol yourself. Since they buy back anything unopened/unchilled, you don't have to worry about buying the right amount.

Ace did our alcohol and it was completely hassle-free - emailed them with a headcount, suggested a few refinements and additions, put down a deposit, and paid for what got used night of. They coordinated with our planner/caterer to completely handle pick up and dropoff and we didn't even have to think about it day-of. Strongly recommend doing this and leaving it to the professionals instead of giving yourself the work of a few Costco trips.

My wife and I chose Ace Beverage as our alcohol vendor for our wedding at DAR Constitution Hall and they were absolutely magnificent. Not only were they prompt and professional with reasonable prices but they also took back our unopened boxes of wine, beer, and liquor so we were not charged for them. Truly 5/5 stars, would recommend to anyone in the area.

My husband and I used ACE for our wedding, and wow, we were impressed. Romain and the rest of the ACE team were so helpful in picking out the bar for our wedding, not to mention, incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They're clearly experts and made great recommendations for wine, champagne and beer! We also loved that they bought back what our guests didn't drink. Overall, we'd highly recommend folks use ACE for ANY event.

We used ACE Beverage for our wedding on the recommendation of our venue coordinator (Top of the Town). Apparently, the reason everyone chooses them is that they deliver everything to your venue and then come back to the venue the next day and pick up unopened bottles and credit your account. We worked with Romain. He was a great help with determining the quantities and types of alcohol we needed for the number and type of guests we had. They were willing to create any mood we wanted with the drinks, but we kept it pretty basic. The contract process was easy, Romain was responsive to our questions. We were surprised about how much we were credited, and we had a big drinking crowd! It was a nice surprise at the end of the wedding process when you feel that you keep spending more and more. It seemed like the bar moved smoothly, we had two bartenders, I don’t recall seeing a huge line or impatient guests. We highly recommend Romain and ACE Beverage.

Will Siegel was excellent to work with for our wedding. We changed our requests multiple times in the lead up to the Big Day - and he was nothing but polite and responsive every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Superb service, FAST email responses and overall great vendor. Would highly recommend using Ace if you need beverages at your events.

Best Drinks Ever. Our caterer recommended Ace Beverage, and I’m so glad she did. The beverages, the service, the cocktails! They answered all our questions tailored the drinks menu to our every need. Made sure our signature cocktails were made perfectly. The bartenders were really professional and really attentive. Book these guys now before their schedule fills up. Ask for Romain Cartoux or Joe Riley.

Ace Beverage's service is phenomenal and made our lives so easy when working with them! They took care of everything for our wedding, from estimating a reasonable amount and variation of alcohol, to delivering everything in a timely manner to our venue, to even picking up the leftover alcohol after the wedding. We did not have to worry about a thing! So glad we chose Ace, and we would highly recommend them for any event beverage needs!

What a fun experience working with ACE beverage. My mother and I went into the shop, got to see the entire selection, and Alina was super smart and helpful. I highly recommend using this company for ease of a wedding!

ACE was exceptional to work with to provide alcohol for our wedding reception at Top of the Town. Prices were awesome and they had a great variety. Romain was a great communicator. He provided a proposal right away, managed all of the logistics to bring the alcohol to our wedding site, and picked-up any unopened bottles. They issued the refund right away for anything that wasn't consumed. We'd use ACE Beverage again as they were super easy to work with! Made our wedding day a breeze and uncomplicated! Couldn't ask for a better wedding vendor!

Ace Beverage provided all of the alcoholic beverages at our wedding reception (our caterer provided mixers and garnishes). We learned about Ace from friends who had used Ace for their reception and recommended them. The ordering process was very simple; we completed the questionnaire Ace provided, and Ace proposed beverages based on our preferences and headcount that we were happy with. (Our friends tell us that you can also head to the distributor and choose your own beverages if you like.) Our contact, Alina, was very professional and responsive, particularly when we asked to reduce our order when our final head count was in. Ace also picked up unopened cases after the reception and credited us for those on our final invoice, which we received about a week after the reception. It was a very smooth process and a reasonable price. We would absolutely use Ace again for an event.

Ace did a perfect job for our wedding. So easy to work with and we didn't run out of anything. Their policy of returning all unopened and un-chilled beverages worked great for us. Much more affordable than we had expected.

Thank you to Ace Beverage for providing such great service! They took so much of the stress out of my wedding planning experience. They were able to tell us exactly how much liquor we would need based on our headcount, delivered the bottles to the venue, retrieved them, and sent us a credit for what we didn't use very promptly. Alina was very easy to work with and the office manager, Will, sent us a kind message after we used their services. Their prices were fair and we received great customer service. I would recommend Ace Beverage to anyone without hesitation!

Ace was recommended by our reception venue as their only approved outside alcohol vendor. They were very easy to work with and had a great variety of beers and wines (the only items we offered) for us to select from. The prices were very good and they handled the delivery and pick up. We paid a deposit of approximately 50% of the estimated usage and were only charged a small final amount since our usage was lower than expected. That was handled promptly while we were on our honeymoon.

ACE was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We knew from the beginning we wanted to handle the booze on our own since most people (even the caterers themselves) told us that the mark up can be pretty steep and that alcohol and mixers were a good way to save. However, we were a bit overwhelmed with the prospect of having to map out every thing and make the rounds to various suppliers/stores to find all the things we wanted. Enter ACE. They were quick to respond to our request for a proposal and paid attention to every request we made. They were also happy to walk us through the process and make numerous changes to our proposal before finalizing. Every step of the way they helped us to cut costs and stay within our budget. On the day of, they dropped everything off pretty much the second we had access to the venue and picked everything up LATE that night for a very reasonable fee. In the end, we spent way under what they initially quoted us and saved probably close to a grand on what we expected to spend originally. And more importantly, they saved us a tremendous amount of effort and stress. 100% would recommend over and over and over again.

Ace beverage made everything so easy! I was stressed out about picking the right liquor for our open bar and making sure we had enough of everything. After one call to Ace I knew all that worrying was for nothing. They were on top of everything and immediately made me feel confident that all would be perfect - AND IT WAS! They worked within the budget I set, made great recommendations, delivered on time and picked up all the excess. Guests had a great time and loved it all!

We wanted to provide the alcohol for an open bar at our wedding, vs. paying the markup for our caterer to provide the alcohol. We were fortunate to find a vendor and caterer that allowed this, because it saved us a lot of money. Our caterer recommended ACE Beverage, and we chose them from three quotes we solicited. They were very easy to work with, very knowledgeable. They have a handy online form to fill out with the details of the event and what you are thinking for the bar. They made great recommendations for best value liquor, beer, and wine. Their initial quantities and budget seemed high, but their explanation was that if everyone pretty much drank only wine, only beer, or only liquor, there’d be enough for everyone. Obviously, that wouldn’t happen, but it could and we’d be covered. Another quote we got had significantly lower quantities, but they were trying to stay within our stated budget (we didn’t really know what our budget should be). We ended up going with ACE but nudging their quantities down a bit, coming in about in the middle between ACE’s high quantities and the other’s low quantities, and it worked out great. The way ACE operates is that you put down half of the estimate, they deliver, and after, you return whatever is unopened and un-iced. Then you get credited for all those returns, and just pay any additional consumed over the half-down deposit. (I think the 50% is the minimum, so if you returned more than that, you wouldn’t get money back, so the way it worked out for us, it’s good that we took the quantities down a bit.) Our caterer was familiar with ACE and knew to tell the bartenders “open as you go” to avoid opening bottles that would not be used. We returned enough that we had very little left to pay after the wedding. I will say, that had our caterer had another bartender working, which they probably should have, people would have not had to wait at the bar as much, and probably would have drunk more, so we wouldn’t have returned as much. Finding a venue who allowed us to bring our own alcohol (as long as it was served by a licensed bartender—provided by the caterer) saved us SO much money and it was so easy, thanks to ACE. Ordering was easy, changes were easy. Delivery was on time. Returns were quick and easy. Highly recommend!

Ace Beverage was hugely helpful in stocking the bar at our wedding. They worked closely with us to build a menu that met the needs of our budget, and our taste. To save money, we chose to only serve beer and wine, no liquor. We knew what beers we wanted to serve, and Ace helped us select wines by making recommendations and putting together a sampler case for us. By the time our wedding rolled around, Ace contacted us to let us know they had been unhappy with the vintage of one of the wines we had selected, and recommended a few alternatives in the same price range. I was so impressed that they took the time to do this rather than just deliver an inferior product. Ace provided great customer service and delivered everything on time. We were very happy and would definitely recommend Ace for bar services. They even bought back what we didn't drink (admittedly, not much)!

Ace beverage did an unbelievable job helping us with our wedding! They were flexible and great to work with and quite possibly were one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. I can't say enough about the convenient delivery and pickup service they offer, which also is incredibly affordable. They have a fantastic selection of beers, wines, and liquors and offer you suggestions depending on your likes/dislikes and budget. Mary was great!

Mary Bruce did a fantastic job helping us figure out how much beer, wine, and liquor we needed for our October wedding. She was very accommodating when we wanted to add the fixings for a signature cocktail, and her team was incredibly professional about delivery and pick-up at the end of the night.

Ace was great, our caterer can provide the booze so long as its in VA... However we had the wedding in DC and they are not allowed to take alcohol over state lines. With that in mind we contacted ACE who not only had a great selection but delivered it tot he venue. You can also have them pick up the remaining alcohol and they will buy the unused items back from you... saving more money in the long run.

We worked with ACE beverage based on reviews of customer service, ease of drop off and picking up alcohol, and their previous experience working with our venue (Carnegie Institute for Science). The reviews did not lie! ACE beverage, in particular Mary, was a pleasure to work with and very helpful with all of our questions. They allowed us to customize our order even near our wedding date (~2 weeks out), gave us recommendations on liquor amounts for our guest list, and the drop off and pick up went flawlessly. Even when I brought up after the wedding that a cheaper version of a particular liquor had been served, ACE beverage made the note and did not charge us for the more expensive one. They did a 100% buy back for everything in good condition (non-chilled, labels not damaged), and it takes about 3-5 business days to process once complete. Would definitely recommend using ACE beverage because of the wide selection of beers, wines, and liquors; very competitive pricing; customer service; and ability to pick up and drop off liquor to venues in the DC area.

Thank you ACE! You guys nailed it!! My husband and I aren’t big drinkers and don’t know the first thing when it comes to drinks. We just knew that we wanted to provide our guests with quality drinks for our open bar while remaining on budget. Our only demand was that all the wines served at our wedding had to be from Argentina. ACE’s representative, Will, not only worked within our budget (and actually found quality options that were below budget) but brought exactly what we requested and all of our guests (including those who do know a thing or two about drinks) were blown away at the options we had for them. The order process and then return/refund process were seamless and painless. ACE worked with our caterer to ensure that we weren’t charged for anything that wasn’t consumed and could be returned (we actually got some money back from our initial deposit). I would work with them again without any hesitation.

Mary was so easy to work with - such a nice change from normal wedding planning! With delivery and pick-up, Ace made everything a breeze.

It was mostly easy to work with ACE, however there was some communication issues. They didn't respond to some emails and they had an issue with pick up after the wedding. We had to make arrangements with a family member for another day. But they did take all unopened bottles and we had plenty for the wedding!

We used Ace based on a recommendation from our venue manager. they had a great selection, were attentive and best of all they delivered AND picked up any remaining items to return after our wedding. I definitely recommend them.

We used ACE Beverage for our wedding reception and are glad we did! We worked with Alma and Mary, who helped us create the perfect menu of beverages and catered to our specific needs -- we had a lot of bourbon drinkers! They were prompt and responsive with our email inquiries. Not only did they deliver the alcohol to our venue but they also picked up the un-used alcohol the day after.

Ace Beverage was exactly what we hoped they would be. They were very helpful in making suggestions on liquor and wines. Delivery and pick up was on time. You are only charged for liquor consumed and they will return and refund all unopened bottles. What more can you ask for.

This store delivers and has lots of experience for events. Consult with them for amounts needed. They also pick up returns afterwards, so if it’s not iced, you don’t have to pay for it. We used them for wine, champagne, sodas, ice, and bins. We bought kegs for beer, but we could have used Ace Beverage for bottled beer too. My contact there was Joe, joe@acebevdc.com. He had great recommendations for wine/champagne within our price range too.
