That is insanely too much money to spend on a one-day event, even if it is the biggest day of your life. That's like a hefty down payment on a house, and I don't mean a starter house! A starter mansion!
I didn't have an open bar at either wedding. The first, bigger wedding, we brought a case of Ackerman sparkling wine that I got wholesale from the place I worked. (A fancy club in San Francisco.) The second wedding was attended about 90% by AA members, and the rest were "normies" who were just as happy to toast our happiness in white grape juice.
I am sure your brother and his bride's wedding will be a happy, beautiful day.
