I'm having a wedding for 300 people. I have no idea who will drink and who will not!?! Most will probably drink. I'm not sure if all 300 will show up! What I need to know is how many will 1 keg serve? What would you recommend buying to be safe?

For about 300 people attending a wedding ceremony, I think
you should get 3 kegs of beer to be on the safe side, as 1 keg
will usually serve for 75 to 80 persons depending how it is
dished out from the tap.

The volumn of a full keg is 48.8 liter or around 13 gallons. You will not get exactly that since the fill is never 100% and you will not be able to drain the bottom without opening keg itself.
On average, you will get about 80-90,12oz pour out of a keg. How many can that serve? If your guests drink like me, a keg is only good for 6 of us!

who ever you buy the keg from can tell you how many people it will serve. I just got married oct 7th and we had one keg for 250 people, wich worked out well because of the # of people who didnt drink beer. Many will purchase drinks at the bar or drink soda or coffee wich should be provided on an unlimited basis. you should also consider if you want to provide so much that you might be the reason people are trashed. when the keg runs out the cheap guests will probably drink less and will be safer for it. you dont want to wake up the next day to find out someone was in an accident or got a dui.

I think maybe 2 kegs would be a safer bet, some people may have more than 1 pint.
well according to google calculation 1 keg = 124 pints.
But I'm sure most people are going to have wine at a wedding instead of beer, but maybe have 2 kegs just in case..

A keg holds 45 gallons, that is the lrg one. so if you have 300 guests you will need at least 2 kegs or 3 on the safe side.

I would err on the side of caution and figure1 keg for every 20 people plus 2 or three extra just incase there are people like me that can drink half a keg alone...hehehehe

2 kegs, minimum. Of course factor in other alcohol, and depending on whether or not you want people absolutely hammered or not!! We used to have small college parties and kill a keg in a night with only a couple dozen people.

do you live in wisconsin?, 'cause then 300 people will down 3 kegs easy, so you probably need 4 maybe 5, besides we can always use the leftover beer to drink and for brats at that sunday's Packer game where we will bow down and worship Brett Favre for the football god that he is

There are 141 beers in a keg. Id get at least 2 kegs. I would also have your wedding planner call everyone you invited and get an exact number of heads. I would also buy 2 handles of vodka, rum,wiskey. 10 bottles of red 10 bottles of white wine. And of course juice.
2kegs= $210
6 bottle of liquer: $150
20 bottles of wine: $250
juices: $50
