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.
Do not fake compliance
Alcohol rules depend on format, location, venue, service model, and partners. Treat compliance as a planning item, not a blanket marketing claim.
A serious provider will scope requirements before asking you to commit.
