Guidelines to apply for a "Special One Day" License
You need to get a license to serve alcohol at an event. There are different rules depending on whether the event is for-profit or for a nonprofit.
After an application has been submitted you must check your application status to ensure you have submitted all required documents and payments. You will be responsible for attending the LLA meeting that corresponds with your application - this can be confirmed through the portal or with the licensing clerk.
STEP 1: LEARN ABOUT RULES WITH FOR-PROFIT EVENTS
You need to submit your online application at least four weeks before the event. Once you file an online application, you will be contacted by the LLA and will appear before the board for approval.
Since you are holding a for-profit event, you can only apply for a wine & malt license. Wine and Malt licenses are $50.00 per day and $50.00 application/filing fee. You will make payment in your PermitEyes account when filing the application.
You must buy the alcohol from an approved seller. You cannot buy it from a package store. You can only use donated alcohol if you have a "Special One-Day Charity Wine Auction" or "Charity Wine Pouring" license.
The state's website has more information about the rules on special one-day licenses.
