We are getting ready to have a wedding where the booze that we buy is not going to be free to our guest. We are charging everyone a dollar per drink. But in the same instance we do not have a liquer liscense. Is it illigal or can we get away with it. Then place that we are having the reception is a public wharehouse that has approved us to have booze on the property but we did not mention that we were sellling it on there property.

Charging the Guest is just so we dont have teh 1000 dollar bill for booze but it is still available . None of our guest care that they are going to pay a dollar per cup. And it is in a warehouse that is not your standard warehouse. It is nice enough to have a large party..

walking a fine line with authorities when it comes to selling booze without a license then their is the liability issue selling booze places a higher standard of care if some one form the wedding gets in an accident or hurts a third party you will be liable

As far as I know, you're required to obtain a license when you have liquor at a wedding reception. I'm surprised the warehouse is allowing you to have liquor on the premises without the license. That is probably the illegal action here, not the selling of the liquor to your guests.

Don't sell the booze. Sell the container (cup, glass, whatever) that the booze will be poured into.
Fine line you are walking.

Two questions:
Why are you charging your guests? They are guests.
Why are you having a wedding in a warehouse?

Make it a "donation" not a price. Good luck.
