Hopefully your guests will celebrate your wedding and enjoy themselves.
If you have any concerns that some may go too far and risk ruining the reception for others, talk with your venue.
There are ways to restrict alcohol consumption by specific individuals, and to slow consumption by all guests. The venue may revert to only providing alcohol over the bar, only provide light beer for a period, not permit shots of spirits, make all spirits unavailable, supply people with a glass of water with every alcoholic drink, etc.
Such actions are not intended to limit peoples’ enjoyment, but to help ensure they enjoy themselves responsibly while the venue satisfies their Responsible Service of Alcohol and Liquor Licensing obligations.
Plenty of water should also be available, particularly since this is a legal requirement of any venue that serves alcohol.
Those under eighteen must also now not be served any alcohol at all, even if their parent or guardian gives permission.
If you have any concerns at all, you should discuss them with your venue.
