Does someone need, or can they get, a temporary liquor license for a private affair at a banquet hall?
The only type of temporary licenses available are for bona fide non-profit organizations such as Veterans of Foreign Wars, Knights of Columbus, etc. Normally, if someone is having a function at a banquet hall such as a wedding reception and the host and/or guests are supplying the food and alcoholic beverages and there are no charges of any kind including any entry fee or donation, no type of liquor license is available or required. However, it is recommended that those who contemplate such an activity contact the local law enforcement agency or prosecutor’s office for any additional information, since they have jurisdiction in such matters.
