So I'm getting married. Roughly 200 guests.

I know what I personally like to drink, but what other people like to drink, idk. I'm having a 100% open bar, but I have to buy the alcohol myself and let the bartenders serve it. I'm on enough of a budget that I don't want people pounding shots of grey goose and patron all night, but I don't want rail shit either. Can someone list out common brands of alcohol from most expensive to least expensive so that I can try to pick a mid tier? I'll fill out what I know and I'll rely on your help for the others!

Please help me fill the blanks here by copy/pasting what I have below and filling in what you can!

Vodka:
Expensive: Grey Goose, Ketel One, Ciroc
Mid Range: Absolut, possibly Smirnoff
Cheap: burnets

Rum:

Mid Range: Barcardi

Tequila:

Thank you for your help my alcohol loving friends.

I'd avoid the specialty stuff like Midori. No reason to spend the extra money on something only a couple people may want. Stay mainstream as much as you can.

I'd also recommend going to Total Wine & Spirits, if you have one near you. They're pretty much the cheapest in town, wherever they are.

Whiskey: Jack Daniels
Bourbon: Jim Beam
Tequila: Sauza
Gin: Tanqueray

Keep in mind my main goal here is to find a mid-grade option for all alcohol types. So like 1800 for tequila probably, Smirnoff or absolut for vodka, Barcardi for Rum, etc. I just don't know a ton outside of that.
