kaosazure's Red wedding

We will be serving our own drinks at the reception. We will be serving beer, wine, champagne, and sodas and water. My question is should we have someone serve them for us? Or should we let them serve themselves? Shawn says let them help themselves. But I think that could cause some problems. Such as what if someone breaks the tap on the keg? And how would we be able to keep track of how many bottles of champagne and wine that have been drank? If we leave the bottle on the tables im afraid they will get knocked over or dropped as well. I have been pricing bartenders and they run 150.00 dollars which is out of our budget. Shawn says one of his nephews could do it. But what guest who travels hundreds of miles wants to tend bar? Any ideas or suggestions will be very helpful. What would you do?
