Info about bringing your own bar

  • We provide a Smart Serve bartender to serve alcohol at your wedding. They are certified by the province of Ontario under https://www.agco.ca/ They have to comply with the rules and laws regarding serving alcohol in Ontario.
  • If you’re having a wedding with alcohol you will require a Smart Serve Bartender that we supply at an additional cost 
  • We will not tolerate aggression. When a guest has consumed their limit we will offer them non-alcoholic drinks. If we see other guests giving the “cut off guests” alcohol drinks we will cut those guests off as well. And as a result this could result in shutting down the bar. 
  • Our recommendations are for your bar for your upcoming event: Please see this link to calculate your drinks: https://www.theknot.com/content/how-to-stock-the-bar-at-your-wedding
  • You need to purchase party alcohol liability insurance a minimum of a $2 million insurance policy. https://www.palcanada.com/index.php/en-us/ 
  • Please schedule a call with your Wedding Manager Mary Regarding your bar before purchasing your alcohol 
  • This is a private event that is not open to the public, it is by invited invitation only and you are not selling any drinks. If you wish to sell drinks you will need a Special Occassion permit from https://www.agco.ca/
  • We look forward to hosting your special event and want to host a very successful and happy reception. We have put these procedures in place for your protection 
  • We offer a One Glass Reception which we will have a sign posted on the bar: It means we do not use plastic each guest is welcome to choose their glass for the night and we can wash and refresh it at anytime. It cuts down on waste and is environmentally respectful.
