How Much Does a Boba Bar Cost for a UK Wedding?
Most UK couples spend between £500 and £2,500 on a boba bar for their wedding, depending on guest numbers, service length and how many flavours and toppings are included. As a rough guide:
- Small weddings (up to 50 guests): £500 to £900
- Medium weddings (50 to 120 guests): £900 to £1,600
- Large weddings (120+ guests): £1,600 to £2,500+
Priced per head, a boba bar typically works out to £6 to £12 per guest, which usually includes freshly made-on-site bubble tea, a choice of flavours, toppings, cups and trained baristas serving throughout your chosen time slot.
The final cost depends on six main factors:
- Guest count: More guests mean more product and often a second station.
- Service duration: A 2-hour cocktail-hour service costs less than all-night service.
- Number of flavours and toppings: Wider menus increase cost.
- Number of stations: Large weddings often need two to avoid queues. For larger receptions, our mobile bubble tea station setup keeps drinks flowing without bottlenecks.
- Location and travel: Venues outside London may add travel costs.
- Styling and branding: Custom signage, themed decor and personalised cups.
Every Pearl Lemon boba bar is quoted individually so you only pay for what your day actually needs.

Affordable Boba Bar Wedding Costs
If you’re planning your wedding and are a fan of boba tea, consider having a boba bar at your reception. It is a unique and fun addition to your celebration and can also be surprisingly affordable. Here’s what you need to know about the costs of having a boba bar at your wedding.
First, you’ll need to find a boba bar vendor in your area. Some catering companies or beverage providers may offer boba bar services, or you may need to find a specialized boba tea vendor. The cost of hiring a boba bar vendor will depend on several factors, including your location, the number of guests, and the services included.
How to Reduce Your Boba Bar Wedding Cost
You can keep your boba bar affordable without losing the wow factor:
- Book a set time slot. Serving during the cocktail hour or as a late-night treat costs less than all-day service.
- Choose a curated menu. Offering three or four crowd-pleasing flavours instead of a dozen keeps costs down while still giving guests choice.
- Book early. Securing your date three to six months ahead helps you lock in the best rate and avoid peak-season premiums.
- Bundle services. If you’re also considering afternoon tea catering or coffee catering, combined packages often work out cheaper per guest.
- Match station numbers to guest count. One well-run station serves most small to medium weddings without long queues.

Cups displayed the wedding monogram, and two baristas served from pre‑blended bases for quiet operation.
