When my first husband and I got married, it was a booze-free reception--we used sparkling cider for the toast. (We did discover some of his work buddies were snorting coke in the basement, but they weren't disruptive nor were they doing it in front of other people.)
It was OUR celebration, WE were the hosts, and although many of the guests were AA friends, the other people had fun anyway. If we had attended someone else's wedding/reception, we wouldn't have expected it to be booze-free to accommodate my husband. I think it is always the host's privilege to decide how to serve his/her guests, and guests should be gracious and not complain if booze is or is not served. If you can't tolerate either situation then you are free to send regrets or to politely leave.
