🍾 **LET’S TALK LEGAL ALCOHOL DELIVERY FOR WEDDINGS!** 🍾
We know there are SO many questions, so we took the most popular ones and answered them! 👇
**1️⃣ Who can legally deliver alcohol to a wedding?**
🥂 A liquor store following legal delivery requirements
🥂 Someone designated by the wedding party
🥂 A business with a Mixed Beverage License when the alcohol was purchased through them as part of their bar service
**2️⃣ Can a dry-hire bar service bring or take alcohol?**
🚨 **Absolutely NOT!** A dry-hire service cannot purchase alcohol for you, deliver it to the event, or take leftover alcohol with them. Doing so is illegal and can carry serious criminal consequences.
**3️⃣ How can liquor stores legally deliver?**
The delivery must follow Oklahoma requirements, including an authorized employee making the delivery and required store/license identification on the delivery vehicle.
**4️⃣ Can weddings do BYOB?**
Guests cannot bring their own cases, bottles, or coolers and drop them at the bar. However, the **wedding can purchase its own alcohol** and bring it or designate someone to transport it.
Alcohol must arrive in its **original, sealed packaging** and be left in the designated location for the event bartender to handle/open.
**5️⃣ Dry Hire vs. Mixed Beverage License—what’s the difference?**
🍹 **Dry Hire:** You purchase/provide the alcohol; they provide the bartending service. They cannot purchase, deliver, or take your alcohol afterward.
🍸 **Mixed Beverage License:** A properly licensed business can purchase alcohol through authorized wholesalers and, when purchased through them as part of their licensed bar service, can legally transport/provide that alcohol.
✨ **The easiest way to remember it:**
**Dry hire = we provide the service, YOU provide the alcohol!**
We hope this answers some of your questions! Have more? Drop them below! 🥂❤️
