How Much Does a Boba Bar Cost for a Wedding?

How much does a boba bar cost for a wedding?

Budget $650 to $1,475 for a Triple Sip boba bar at a DFW wedding, depending on guest count, before any add-ons.

That range covers the most common package size, from a 50-guest minimum to a 150-person reception. Every quote starts the same way: $125 setup and delivery plus $225 per bobarista on top of a per-guest rate, and there's a 50 guest minimum on every booking.

What's actually included in the price?

The flat $125 setup and delivery covers the cart, setup and teardown, and travel within 30 miles of DFW. Your bobarista is $225, and how many you need depends on your guest count and how long service runs. The 16 oz clear printed cups, dome lids, straws, napkins and ice come with your per-guest rate. You're not paying extra for cups or ice later. It's baked in.

What are the package options?

There are three tiers, priced per guest, and the difference is flavor and topping count, not quality.

• Double Sip: 2 flavors, 2 toppings, $5 per guest
• Triple Sip: 3 flavors, 3 toppings, $6 per guest
• Quad Sip: 4 flavors, 4 toppings, $7 per guest

Matcha drinks add $1 per guest if you want one on the menu, since matcha runs a little pricier to source than the rest of the lineup.

Why does the per-person cost change with guest count?

Because the flat fees get spread across more people as your guest list grows, so the per-head price drops the bigger your wedding gets. A 50-guest Triple Sip wedding runs $650 total before tax, which works out to $13 per guest once you fold in the flat fees. Push that same package to 100 guests and the total is $950, or $9.50 all in, plus tax. At 150 guests, Triple Sip comes to $1,475 total before tax. Same drink, same toppings, cheaper per head. If you're on the fence about guest count, know that a smaller wedding pays more per person for the exact same bar.

Do I need extra staff?

Maybe, depending on your guest count and your service window. One bobarista pours 60 to 80 drinks an hour and we plan on 65, so one covers up to 100 guests, or 65 drinks per hour of service, whichever is smaller. Past that, plan on a second bobarista at $225 so your line doesn't back up during the reception's busiest stretch.

What else could add to the total?

Three things: distance, time, and dairy-free requests (which cost nothing extra). Travel beyond 30 miles of DFW runs $2 per mile. If you want service extended past your booked window, that's $3 per guest per hour with a $200 minimum, which includes the drinks for that hour, and it has to be arranged when you book. Dairy-free is free on any drink, no upcharge, though oat milk is the better call than almond if you want it to hold up under a strong tea base.

How do booking fees work?

A 25% booking fee holds your date, and the remaining balance is due one week before the wedding. That gives you room to finalize your guest count closer to the day, since a wedding's final headcount rarely matches what you had six months out.

A vendor who can't answer these in one message, without you having to ask twice, is telling you something about how the day itself will go.

The Boba Bar Experience runs Triple Sip weddings across DFW most often, because it hits the sweet spot between variety and simplicity for a guest list that's mixing grandparents and college roommates in the same line. If you know your rough headcount, get a real number instead of a ballpark. Send your guest count and reception date and ask for the breakdown in writing.
