Wedding Information
Make your wedding day a more personal affair when you make your own wine for your guests. For that added touch customize your bottles with your own personal labels and forever capture the special moment.
At BYO we realize that wedding costs can be quite high and to help out we will take 20% off the price of the wine kits and service as well as any bottles and other “sundry “ items that you purchase from us (including labels). As a special bonus we will also give a gift of two wine glasses engraved with your name and date.
Following is some things to think about for your wedding plans:
Do I need a Special Occasions Permit (SOP) and where do I get one?
A permit is needed any time liquor is sold or served anywhere other than in a licensed establishment or a private place. Even if you are only serving Homemade wine/beer you still must get a permit (Note: A permit is needed any time liquor is being sold.). You can obtain the SOP from any Liquor store in the province.
Homemade Wine/Beer for no sale at a wedding or other religious event
The wine/beer must be made by a member of the family hosting the event and is acquired and served free of charge. The permit holder may not sell the wine/beer but serves it at no charge.
Your Responsibilities
The permit holder is responsible for the safety and sobriety of people attending the event. Permit applications must be submitted at least 30 days before the event takes place. (Exception: 10 days for indoor reception events.) Your application may be refused if you don't meet this requirement.
Talk to the Hall.
Make sure that you are able to bring in your own bottles of wine to serve at your reception. Ask if they have a “corkage” fee if you bring in your own wine.
How much wine do you need?
Depending on the size of your wedding and what you are using the wine for, will determine the amount that you require. If you are only using the wine for the meal a good rule of thumb is one (1) 750 ml bottle for every four (4) people (ie. One (1) glass per person).
Custom Labels
At BYO we have the largest “in stock” selection of wedding labels for you to choose from. We can either do the printing at our facility or you can take the standard size sheets home and print them yourself. You can put what ever you want on your label and customize it to match your invitation. We can even handle special requests such as scanning your picture and putting it on the label.
We use 4th & Vine labels
