Bartending only applies to our Full-Service package. We have the license to serve, not the license to buy and sell. Meaning, it is the responsibility of our clients to purchase any and all alcohol served at tour event. Essence of the Thymes, LLC provides licensed bartenders. Our bartenders must follow all WA State liquor control board regulations/laws. This is not limited to but includes checking ID and stopping service to intoxicated guests. If you are using this service, you must purchase a Washington State Liquor banquet permit for the day of your event. We cannot serve without this permit, signed and posted at your event. Any hard alcohol service must be discussed and approved prior to your event; we do not permit shots or bottles to be taken to tables. All alcohol must be dispensed from the bartender. Any alcohol personally dispensed will be confiscated and result in closure of the bar. Events of 120 guests or more must book two (2) bartenders for a minimum of three (3) hours, plus travel if applicable. Additionally, food must be made available to your guests within 30 minutes of beginning of bar service, otherwise bar service may be paused at the discretion of the Event Lead and bartender(s). Essence of the Thymes, LLC requires closure of bar half hour prior to expected guest departure.
