MATCHA BAR HIRE For Weddings in the UK
The Ultimate GREEN ENERGY for weddings!
If you’re planning a wedding and want something genuinely memorable (and visually stunning), a matcha bar is one of the hottest trends right now. It’s premium, alcohol-free, highly photogenic, and a favourite with couples seeking an elegant drinks option beyond espresso or standard cocktails.
At Cocktails With Mario, we build luxury matcha experiences that work beautifully in ballrooms, marquees, boutique venues, outdoor gardens, and private estates — with menus and service flow designed specifically for weddings.
Explore our dedicated matcha bar hire page for full details.
Why Why Matcha Bars Are Perfect for Weddings
A matcha bar isn’t just a drinks station — it’s a moment. Couples choose matcha because it:
Feels refined and wellness-forward
Works as a standout alcohol-free wedding experience
Keeps guests energised without caffeine overload
Creates a beautiful visuals and guest engagement
If you’re planning wider drink moments, you can combine this with our traditional wedding bar hire services or our best wedding bar hire in Surrey.
After-Dinner Matcha Bar
This is the sweet spot for weddings: after food, before the dancefloor peaks. Guests love a fresh matcha drink while chatting, moving between rooms, or preparing for the evening.

Wedding Matcha Service Styles
Every wedding runs differently, so we design matcha service around the natural “peaks” of your day.
Welcome Matcha (Arrival Drinks)
A matcha welcome service is ideal for guest arrival — light, elegant, and instantly sets the tone. It’s especially popular when couples want an elevated daytime feel or a premium alternative to prosecco on arrival.
(If you’re going for a bubbly moment too, our prosecco wall hire is a great pairing.)
OUR Wedding Matcha Menu
Signature Wedding Matcha Drinks
Choose a tight menu for speed, or a broader menu for variety:
Ceremonial matcha (classic, pure, premium)
Vanilla matcha latte (smooth, universally loved)
Strawberry matcha (wedding-favourite, vibrant colour)
Coconut matcha (tropical, creamy, premium feel)
Iced yuzu matcha (fresh, citrus, perfect for spring/summer)
Milk options can include dairy + oat/almond (venue dependent).
We can also advise on sugar-free or lighter options depending on the guest profile.
Matcha bar vs Matcha Cart vs Coffee Bike
Full Matcha Bar (Styled Station)
If space and styling are priorities, a full matcha bar sets a statement. You can see full details on this at our Cocktails With Mario matcha bar page.
H3: Matcha Cart Hire (Compact & Stylish)
For venues where space is tighter or flow needs to be ultra-clean, a matcha cart is perfect — elegant, fast, and visually striking.
Check out our matcha cart hire page on Barista Hire London, which we specifically designed to capture this need.

How Long Should a Matcha Bar Run at a Wedding?
Rather than guessing, we base timing on real guest movement. For weddings, service is usually best kept within a clean window so it stays premium, smooth, and efficient.
A sensible guide (not an estimate, just planning logic):
100 guests: 2 hours
200 guests: 3 hours
500 guests: 4 hours
If your timeline is tight, we’ll advise the best “moment” to place matcha (arrival vs after dinner), so the bar doesn’t compete with speeches, cake cutting, or the first dance.
Faqs Matcha Bar Hire Questions
Can you serve matcha for 500 wedding guests?
Yes — the key is matching the service window to guest flow and ensuring the menu is designed for wedding speed.
H3: Is matcha better than coffee for weddings?
Matcha is smoother, feels more premium as a “station”, and works brilliantly as an alcohol-free luxury option, especially after food.
What’s the best time to serve matcha at a wedding?
Most couples choose after-dinner service, but arrival matcha is perfect for daytime weddings or wellness-forward celebrations.
Can you style the matcha bar to match our wedding theme?
Yes — styling is a big part of the experience, and we can adapt the look and feel to your aesthetic.
Can you combine matcha with cocktails, coffee or summer bars?
Absolutely. Many couples combine matcha with cocktail service or summer options like Pimm’s bike hire services for outdoor receptions.
Pairing Matcha With Cocktails (Best of Both Worlds)
Matcha doesn’t replace cocktails — it complements them. Many couples choose:
Matcha for arrival or after dinner + cocktails for evening.
If you want interactive elements for your weekend celebrations, we also offer experiences like:
