Serving Alcohol to Guests
In the Commonwealth of Virginia, it is mandatory for anyone who wants to serve alcohol at a public venue to obtain a permit.
To facilitate the hosting of events such as wedding receptions, fundraisers, parties, and tastings where alcohol is served at an unlicensed location, banquet licenses are available. These licenses allow individuals or groups to host such events legally.
If you plan on hosting an event that involves serving alcohol, it is essential to obtain the necessary permit. For more information or to apply for a permit, please visit the Virginia Banquet License Information website
