Licensed Bartenders in Florida!

Brittani, on June 27, 2018 at 1:44 AM Posted in Florida Planning 0 1

I finally found a venue that I am IN LOVE with but as I was reading their FAQ's I found this:

(1) Alcohol can only be served by a properly licensed bartender.
(2) No alcohol can be brought in by guests (again, see rule # 1); although you as the event organizer can bring your own alcohol. But whatever alcohol is brought on the premises must be served by a licensed bartender.
(3) You must carry event liability insurance, which usually runs about $150 with major wedding insurance companies; WedSure, Markel or WedSafe.
(4) Each additional vendor (caterer, bartender, etc) must carry its own liability insurance


One thing I really liked about them was that we could bring in our own food and drinks. I'm not sure if all the things listed are going to be hard to obtain. Does anyone have experience or advice on this or know where to get a licensed bartender? The venue is called Ever After Farms in Mims FL.

    Hi Brittani! Welcome to WeddingWire and congrats on your engagement!

    Liquor licenses are required in order for a bartender to be able to serve alcohol at an established venue. Venues are, in a sense, like a restaurant serving the public where licenses are required. Otherwise, it becomes a liability on the venue if something happens due to said alcohol being present.

    We have many of licensed, great bartenders listed on our Vendors page ! What Florida city are you getting married in? I set the location to just "florida" for now, but you can filter further by location, adjust for bar services, and ask for pricing, too!

    I hope this helps!

    If you have any other questions throughout your wedding planning process, please don't hesitate to connect or post another discussion.
