With mobile bars and micro weddings still trending for the coming year, more and more couples are exploring wedding venues that allow them to bring in their own alcohol. It’s a question we get often in our business: What Colorado venues allow me to bring my own alcohol?
In all cases – based on years of experience – we strongly recommend that you have a TIPS-certified bartender serve your guests. TIPS-certified bartenders are trained to prevent underage drinking; limit that guest who has already had plenty; prevent attendees from driving impaired; and properly report any incidents that do arise for insurance and law enforcement purposes – which benefits you and your venue.
Our bartenders are TIPS-certified and contracted through My Big Day Marketing & Events, a Northern Colorado event planning company. Contact us now, and let My Big Day and On the Rocks keep the drinks and the big day flowing smoothly.
Still researching wedding venues? Here’s My Big Day’s list of Colorado wedding venues where you can bring your own alcohol.
