You will need to let us know in advance the monetary limit you would like to set for your bar tab and if there are any restrictions (e.g. house wines only, single spirits, no premium spirits). A payment for your bar tab would be taken in advance on your invoice, which is amended after the event to reflect the amount consumed on the day.
