Liquor – No outside alcohol may be brought in or served at your event.  If you would like to have alcohol at your event, you have three options:

• Open Bar – With an open bar your guests will not pay for alcohol and you will be charged wholesale prices for alcohol served.  You get charged when the bottle or box gets opened. Additionally, you will be charged $10/hr for a bartender.
