Ace Beverage, Beverage Catering & Delivery

handling last-minute updates reduced so much wedding planning stress.

y 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!

ack anything unopened/unchilled, you don't have to worry about buying the right amount.

andle 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.

f wine, beer, and liquor so we were not charged for them. Truly 5/5 stars, would recommend to anyone in the area.

rts 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.

ick 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.

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.

ur 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!

s 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!

ery 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.

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!

nd 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.

t 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.

ing 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!

ecommended 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!

rs 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)!

ery 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!

nal about delivery and pick-up at the end of the night.

ered 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.

lar 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.
