If you are planning an event in today\u2019s world, we applaud you as being a glass-half-full person, like our team! As you plan the guest list, the wedding party and pick out the dress, you\u2019ll not want to put off the one-day alcohol license called a \u201cBanquet License.\u201d And a Banquet License allow persons or groups to host events such as wedding receptions, tastings or fundraisers, where alcohol is served in an unlicensed location or club premise for a private one-day event. Don\u2019t assume your caterer has a license. Don\u2019t assume your venue has a license. In fact, a banquet license is also needed for retirement parties, company celebrations, nonprofit events, festivals, concerts, auctions or political fundraisers. This application is conveniently online and you can find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you are filling out the application, pick the wrong type of license or leave a blank and that one mistake on your application can tie it up in red tape or even get the license denied. As you can see, obtaining a license in VA isn\u2019t as easy as walking in a door, filling out an application and getting your license. It is a process <\/em>\u2013 this licensing process takes time, attention to detail, document gathering, follow up, and several levels of review by the VA ABC Authority, before approval.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can ABC Consulting help? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. We have a simplified, online form. Based on the information provided on the form, we determine which license type “of 8 different banquet licenses”<\/em> you qualify for. <\/li>
  2. We verify that a license is needed according to the venue. Is your venue already licensed? If so, does it have the proper license type needed for your type of event. For example: if you are having an event at a winery or brewery and wish to provide mixed drinks, then you will need to obtain a license. <\/li>
  3. We ensure complete and accurate license application filing.<\/li>
  4. We make sure you have your license (in hand or in your venue\u2019s hand) before your event.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In Virginia, there is not a permanent wedding venue license. In almost all instances, a license is needed. We take the guess work out of the equation. Let ABC Consulting<\/a> take this important element off of your wedding to-do list as you dance through the rest of your Wedding ToDo list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
