Will Ferrell isn’t shy about what he thinks should get the axe at wedding receptions, and it might surprise you. In a recent interview, the comedic legend pointed out what he sees as a big no-no: the cash bar.
Ferrell, while promoting his latest comedy, hasn’t held back his opinions. He told BuzzFeed UK that asking guests to pay for their drinks at a wedding is downright “rude.” This sentiment isn’t his alone; his co-star Reese Witherspoon chimed in, calling the practice “in really poor taste.”
Weddings should be about celebration and hospitality, Ferrell insists, pointing out his own wedding experiences. Recalling an event where food was in short supply, he shrugged it off as another wedding faux pas, saying, “That’s a real no-no.”
And it seems he’s also got a thing about the dance floor. Ferrell admitted he’s not a fan of the macarena lines that pop up at weddings, but he’s got a sense of humour about it. He shared a story about being asked to interrupt a wedding with a playful objection. The joke, unfortunately, bombed when he used the wrong name for the bride.

The chat wasn’t all about wedding critiques, though. Ferrell and Witherspoon are promoting their new film, “You’re Cordially Invited,” currently streaming on Prime Video. The movie presents a comedic twist on wedding chaos when two ceremonies are double-booked at the same venue. Ferrell praised Witherspoon’s comedic chops, noting that she brings realness even to the most ridiculous scenes.
Their camaraderie extends beyond the film set. Witherspoon spoke highly of Ferrell’s generosity, both as an actor and a producer. Such mutual respect only makes their on-screen banter more entertaining, as evident from the film’s trailer, which has fans buzzing with excitement.
While Ferrell is busy making us laugh on screen, his candid thoughts on wedding traditions provide a humorous yet thoughtful take on how to keep the celebration joyous. Whether you agree with his take on cash bars or not, it’s clear he wants wedding celebrations to be unforgettable—for all the right reasons.
