• Option A: We allow our clients to purchase their own alcohol and hire an insured bartending service to serve it, following Maine state law and regulations. In accordance with Maine state law, this must be a non-cash bar.

• Option B: Hire a licensed and insured alcohol vendor. There are many licensed vendors for hire in the area.
