Wedding beer line up?

¿Question?

Hi all - I’m getting married next month in upstate New York and still need to finalize the beer selection. The venue basically allows me to order any brands though the costs vary. I was originally going to go with some local craft options (West Kill, Suarez) but they cost 3x vs. more more regional / larger brands at this venue. And while I don’t necessarily want to cheap out, I don’t know that wedding guests will appreciate the craft options that much more. I’m now leaning towards something like the below line up but any thoughts / recommendations are appreciated as I’m deep down the rabbit hole at this point!

Light / mainstream: Stella
Lager: Brooklyn Lager
IPA: Lagunitas
Seasonal: Sam Adams Oktoberfest

I’m think 4 beers is the max (honestly could probably just do 3).

Other potential options:
- Corona or Modelo (but honestly the Stella is surprisingly cheaper and IMO better)
- Sam Adam’s Boston Lager
- Allagash or Blue Moon - above line up doesn’t really have a wheat beer
- Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or Hazy IPA (instead of the Lagunitas)
