How Fez prices wedding coffee bars in the Bay Area

Many wedding caterers apply a "wedding premium" of 10-15% over corporate pricing — because weddings involve multi-moment service, more coordination, and emotional decision-making. Fez does not.

Our pricing ladder is the same for corporate events, weddings, offsites, product launches, and private events. The tier price includes the baristas, the equipment, the beans, dairy and oat milk, syrups, cups, setup, breakdown, and travel within 50 miles of San Francisco.

Guest count	Flat price	Service window	Crew
0-50	$1,000	2 hours	1 cart, 2 baristas
50-100	$1,500	2 hours	1 cart, 3 baristas
100-200	$2,500	2 hours	1 cart, 3 baristas
200-300	$3,500	3 hours	2 carts, 6 baristas
300-400	$4,500	4 hours	2 carts, 6 baristas
400-500	$5,500	5 hours	3 carts, 9 baristas

For a typical 120-guest Bay Area wedding — an SF City Hall reception, a Cavallo Point ceremony, a Berkeley Faculty Club dinner — the flat price is $2,500 for a 2-hour service window. If you want longer (to cover both cocktail hour and late-night), each extra hour is $400 all-in.

For a 120-guest wedding in Napa — say Meadowood, Auberge du Soleil, or Carneros Resort — the flat price is $2,500 + $150 travel = $2,650. If you want longer service, $400/hour on top.

What's included — no upcharges

Every Fez wedding coffee bar includes:

Trained baristas at the recommended count
Commercial La Marzocco espresso machine
Specialty-grade espresso beans from a regional roaster
Bottomless coffee — drip and espresso both
Whole milk and oat milk — both standard, neither upcharged
House-made syrups — brown sugar, honey lavender, vanilla, seasonal rotator
Decaf espresso on every cart
Hot chocolate, tea, iced drinks — all included, no upcharge
Unbranded compostable cups and lids
Menu and flavor signage
Setup and breakdown
Liability insurance with a COI to the venue on request
Travel within 50 miles of San Francisco

Nothing in that list is a separate line item in your proposal. It's the tier price.

What's an add-on

A small set of wedding-specific upsells:

Matcha (bottomless, ceremonial-grade, Japan-sourced): $2 per guest — so $240 for a 120-guest wedding
Chai bar add-on: $500 flat
Mocktail bar add-on: $500 flat
Latte printing (monograms, wedding date, custom art on each drink): $350
Custom cart wrap (couple's branding, florals, custom design): $500
Custom stickers on cups: $175 per 120 cups
Fully custom branded cups: $2 per cup
Extra service hours beyond the included window: $400/hour all-in

Standalone chai and mocktail bars are also available — same coffee tier ladder, 20% off (because the crew required is smaller).

Travel fees for Bay Area wedding venues

Travel within 50 miles of SF is included. Beyond that:

0-50 miles: included — covers SF, Oakland, Berkeley, the full Peninsula (Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City), Marin (Sausalito, Mill Valley, Cavallo Point), Half Moon Bay
50-100 miles: $150 — covers Napa Valley, Sonoma close-in (Sonoma town, Glen Ellen), Santa Cruz, Monterey
100-175 miles: $250 — covers Big Sur, Carmel Valley, Guerneville and the Russian River, Mendocino south
175+ miles: $500 max — covers Lake Tahoe and far destinations

Travel fees are never hidden at Fez — they appear as a single named line item in every proposal.

Common Bay Area wedding configurations

80 guests at an SF or East Bay venue — $1,500, 2 hours included, 3 baristas, no travel fee. Typical for SF City Hall weddings, Cavallo Point ceremonies, Oakland rooftop receptions.

120 guests at a Napa or Sonoma venue — $2,500 + $150 travel = $2,650, 2 hours included, 3 baristas. Typical for Napa Valley ceremonies, Sonoma estate weddings.

150 guests with a 4-hour coffee bar (cocktail hour + dessert) — $2,500 + $800 for 2 extra hours = $3,300 for a standard Bay Area venue. Or $3,450 if the venue is in Napa.

200 guests, full dessert + late-night service window (4 hours) — $2,500 + $800 for 2 extra hours = $3,300, plus any travel fee.

250-guest wedding at a Big Sur estate with 3-hour service — $3,500 tier + $250 Big Sur travel + $400 for one extra hour over the included 3 = $4,150. Two carts, six baristas.

What drives cost up

A few decisions push cost above the baseline tier:

Longer service hours. The included window is 2 hours for weddings under 200 guests. Covering cocktail hour AND late-night usually means 4 hours — that's $800 extra ($400/hour × 2).
Custom branding. Latte printing ($350) with your monogram or wedding date is the most popular wedding upsell. A custom cart wrap ($500) that matches your florals is the next. Fully branded cups ($2 each × 150 guests = $300+) take it further. A full brand activation runs $1,000-$1,500 on top of the base.
Adding matcha. A bottomless matcha station at $2/pp is popular — for a 150-guest wedding, that's $300. Matcha-heavy weddings typically book standalone matcha catering alongside.
Chai or mocktail bar. $500 each as an add-on. A coffee + chai + mocktail package for a 150-guest wedding runs $2,500 + $500 + $500 = $3,500, plus any extensions.
Travel for wine-country or coast venues. $150 to $500 depending on distance.

What drives cost down

Stick with the 2-hour included window. If your coffee bar needs are concentrated into one moment (typically dessert), the tier price is the price. No extensions.
Skip the branding. Your guests will remember the drinks regardless of whether the cups have your monogram.
Ask about trimmed-scope discounts. If you want a 60-guest wedding served by two baristas instead of three, Fez will discount the tier accordingly. Just ask.

Timing decisions couples regret

A few patterns we've seen across hundreds of Bay Area weddings:

Regret 1: Putting coffee at cocktail hour only. Cocktail hour is when wine, beer, and signature drinks get the most orders. Coffee attach rate at cocktail hour is about 15-25% — meaningful, but not the peak. The highest-impact moment for a wedding coffee bar is during or right after dessert, when coffee attach rate hits 60-80%. If budget forces a choice between cocktail hour and dessert hour, pick dessert.

Regret 2: Closing the coffee bar before the last dance. Late-night coffee (10pm-midnight) is when guests who are still going need fuel. This is also when the couple and parents finally get a coffee — and when the most candid photos get taken. Closing the bar before the sparkler exit is a frequent regret.

Regret 3: Over-sizing for a small wedding. A 60-guest wedding doesn't need three baristas. The 0-50 tier ($1,000, two baristas) handles a 60-guest wedding with the cocktail hour premium scope reduced. Ask for the trimmed-scope quote before booking the next tier up.

Regret 4: Under-sizing for a 200+ guest wedding. The opposite mistake. At 200+ guests the tier moves to 2 carts and 6 baristas for a reason — one cart cannot serve a concentrated dessert rush for 200 people in under 40 minutes.

Coffee bar + mocktail bar — the "dry wedding" or sober-curious package

Not every wedding wants alcohol at every moment. A growing percentage of Bay Area couples are booking a coffee + non-alcoholic-beverage combo that gives guests a cocktail-hour alternative without adding another bar staff.

Fez's mocktail bar menu rotates seasonally — spritzes, espresso-based mocktails, non-alcoholic Negronis, house-syrup sparklers — and pairs naturally with the coffee bar during the evening moments.

Pricing:

Coffee bar for 120 guests: $2,500
Mocktail add-on to the same cart: $500
Total: $3,000 for a combined coffee + mocktail offering

Or as two standalone bars:

Coffee bar for 120 guests: $2,500
Standalone mocktail bar for 120 guests: $2,000 (20% off coffee tier, because the crew is smaller)
Total: $4,500 if you want two dedicated stations

Alcohol is not something Fez serves. The mocktail, chai, and matcha menus exist because they actually get ordered at weddings — not as a positioning gimmick.

Frequently asked questions

When should I book my wedding coffee bar?

There's no required lead time at Fez — last-minute bookings are accommodated when the crew and cart are available. That said, peak wedding dates (May-October Saturdays in wine country) book earliest, so if you want a specific Saturday in Napa in September, earlier is better.

Is oat milk an upcharge?

No. Oat milk and whole milk are both standard on every Fez cart, free of upcharge. If any caterer adds oat as a line item, ask why.

Do you serve alcohol?

No. Fez serves specialty coffee, matcha, chai, and non-alcoholic mocktails. Couples who want espresso martinis typically pair Fez (for the coffee bar) with their main bar provider (for the alcohol).

Do I need to provide power or water at the venue?

Most Fez carts arrive with an inverter, so power isn't required at most venues. Water is typically needed — 5 gallons for a full service. Your Fez coordinator confirms this with your planner during the pre-event load-in call.

Can you serve decaf?

Yes, every Fez cart carries decaf as standard. Expect 10-20% of wedding guests to order decaf, especially for late-night service.

What's the deposit?

There is no deposit. Payment is due after the event is completed, against an invoice. The signed contract is the commitment.

What's the cancellation policy?

If you cancel after the contract is signed, the fee is 50% of the contract value. If you cancel within 48 hours of the event, the fee is 100%. There is no cancellation fee before contract signing.
