Alcohol Policy & Insurance Requirements.

🛡️ Insurance Coverage Requirements

You must provide proof of at least $1 million in liquor liability coverage, and the policy must name both WorkZone Solutions LLC and Spy Run Solutions LLC located at 2135 Spy Run Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805 additional insureds.  

You may satisfy the insurance requirement using any one of the following options:

• Hire a Licensed Bartender or Catering Service
  The vendor must have a valid 2-way or a 3-way license, carry liquor liability insurance and be able to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) meeting the requirements listed above.

• Purchase a One-Day Special Event Liability Policy
  Policies are available through providers such as K&K, Markel, GEICO, or eWed and must include host liquor liability coverage.

• Use Your Homeowners Insurance
  Many homeowners policies include host liquor liability coverage for private events. You’ll need documentation confirming at least $1 million in coverage. Your agent can often increase coverage temporarily for your event.

🍾 Bringing Your Own Alcohol?

If you're bringing your own alcohol (instead of using a licensed vendor), you must also meet State of Indiana requirements:

1. Obtain a Temporary Beer and Wine Permit from the Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission (ATC) – $53.94*

   • Need assistance? We offer free guidance on obtaining the permit. If you'd prefer us to manage the entire process and submit all the necessary paperwork on your behalf. – $95

2. Ensure that alcohol is served by someone with a valid Employee Permit, either:

   • A licensed bartender or server with a current Indiana Employee Permit, or

   • A designated person who applies for a Temporary Employee Permit from the ATC – $5*, or

   • Hire a member of our staff to serve beer and wine – $150 flat fee (up to 4 hours), then $40 per additional hour.
       Client must supply all beer and wine. Beverage service includes setup, basic tools, and cleanup of the bar area.

*Please Note: These are state-mandated permit costs, not fees charged by the venue.

🔒 Alcohol Rules & Restrictions

To maintain a safe, legal, and enjoyable environment for all guests, the following policies apply to any event where alcohol is present. Violations may result in loss of deposit, immediate event termination, or refusal of future bookings.

🚫 Prohibited Activities

• Self-service of alcohol is strictly prohibited. All alcohol must be served by a designated individual with a valid permit.

• Drinking games are not allowed under any circumstances.

• "Beer runs" or outside alcohol may not be brought in once the event has started—no carry-ins after the bar opens.

• Hard liquor is not permitted. Only beer, wine, champagne, wine alternatives, and malt-based beverages with less than 21% alcohol by volume are allowed. This must be clearly indicated on the packaging.

⏱️ Service & Consumption Rules

• Alcohol service must end at the scheduled event end time—no exceptions.

• All alcohol must remain within the rented event space at all times.

• No open containers or bottles may be left unattended on tables, bars, or counters.

• Open bottles must be disposed of at the end of the event to prevent guests from leaving with open containers.

⚖️ Legal Compliance

• No alcohol may be served to guests under 21. IDs may be checked at any time.

• A valid ATC Temporary Beer & Wine Permit must be clearly displayed throughout the event.

• Alcohol must be served by someone with a valid Indiana Employee Permit (either a licensed bartender or approved individual).

✅ Best Practices

• Consider providing non-alcoholic beverage options and encouraging designated drivers or ride-share services for guest safety.
