I am getting married in New York City in December and am having an awful time trying to sort out our liquor license coverage! We are working on a super tight budget and are planning on using one of our favorite restaurants to provide our food -- not only does it save tons of money but it gives our guests a sense of "our NYC." The problem is they don't have a caterer's liquor license and our venue will not allow us to get a temporary beer and wine permit on our own.
Does anybody know of a company -- catering or otherwise -- that we could hire to take care of the bar and liquor license? I have been working on figuring this out for months now and only came across one company that wanted to charge $2000 just to use their liquor license! We only want to serve beer and wine and we're hoping to save money wherever we can -- any help or advice you can offer would be appreciated!!
