HOW DO YOU HANDLE UNDERAGE GUESTS AND ID VERIFICATION FOR ALCOHOL SERVICE?

To ensure compliance with the legal drinking age:

  4. While some state laws may allow parents to serve alcohol to their minor child under specific circumstances, our policy is to strictly adhere to our own guidelines. We will not serve or permit anyone under the age of 21 to consume alcohol at any event we cater, regardless of state laws or parental consent.
  5. Furthermore, we respect and adhere to the rules and regulations set by the event venues. If a venue has specific policies in place that prohibit alcohol service to minors, we will fully comply with these rules, even if state laws may provide certain exemptions.

By implementing these measures, we aim to maintain a responsible and enjoyable atmosphere for all attendees while ensuring compliance with Texas state laws. Our focus is on delivering exceptional bartending service while upholding the highest standards of professionalism and legality.
