ring and buyback process, which is a great benefit they offer. We weren't worried about over or understocking. They have a really good selection of well liquor, beer, and wine for good prices, and can bring in specialty alcohol if needed. We would absolutely recommend them for any and all weddings and events.

nformative and knew exactly the quantity of alcohol to provide. She was able to answer all of my questions quickly and was able to guide me with her recommendations/experience. She followed up immediately after our event with our return quantity! I HIGHLY recommend Ally and her team!

We hired Gateway to provide liquor and wine for our wedding in May 2025 and were extremely happy with our experience. Ally at Gateway was responsive and reliable throughout the pla...
nning process, and ensured that our contract reflected our preferences. We told Gateway the signature cocktails we wanted to offer guests, and they made all the calculations to determine the correct quantities of liquor, mixers, and garnishes -- and provided all of it directly to our venue. We did not have to worry about delivery or pick up - it all happened seamlessly! Gateway also offered the opportunity to buy back any unused bottles after the event, which helped us cut costs and was an offer we could not find with other liquor vendors. Everything ran very smoothly the day of our event. Even better, Gateway has strong relationships with other wedding vendors in the Frederick area, making communication and coordination even more efficient. We would highly recommend Gateway as a bar vendor for your wedding or event!
Gateway Liquors was an exceptional liquor supplier for our May 2025 wedding! They provided us with a rough draft of suggested selections, letting us request specific wines, beers, ...
and mixed drink materials to customize our bar menu, even offering to special order whatever we needed. They dropped off and picked up the liquor without a problem (or requiring anyone from our wedding party to be there!). At the end of the event, we sold anything we did not use back to them- an incredible process! Gateway Liquors were wonderful to work with and I cannot say enough good things! Use them for your next event without hesitation.

e recommendations and insight for us since we have never ordered alcohol for an event of such size before. I think the pricing was fair, and they had everything we requested, including garnishes and mixers. They dropped-off in a quick and timely manner, and came back to pick up what we didn't open and refunded us quickly. It was also nice that they were familiar with our venue. They were super easy to work with and I highly recommend!

y responsive to our questions, concerns, and revisions.
We purchased all of our alcohol, mixers, and disposables through Gateway and found pricing to be comparable to if we were to supply ourselves. We had a hiccup with cups for bar service, and Gateway helped to resolve quickly and efficiently even while guests were enjoying themselves at the wedding events.
Post-wedding, we were able to easily request a refund for un-opended alcohol and had no issues with any return/refund - all was handled for us, really!
Helpful and hands-on crew - highly recommend!
