Ask the venue first
Before a proposal is finalized, ask whether the office or venue allows outside alcohol service, outside vendors, glassware, food, and deliveries.
If a building requires loading dock access, security clearance, or service elevator reservations, those details belong in the run of show.
Clarify paperwork
Common requests include Certificate of Insurance, W-9, vendor onboarding, invoice terms, and deposit requirements.
The proposal should list what is available, what still needs confirmation, and who owns each item.
Confirm requirements early
Alcohol rules depend on the format, location, venue, service model, and partners. Confirm the requirements that apply to your event before booking.
A thoughtful proposal should identify what is confirmed, what is still pending, and who is responsible for each next step.
