⚠️ Important: How Our Bar Works

Spirited Affairs operates on a host-provided bar model. We do not hold a liquor license, which means we cannot provide, sell, or serve alcohol directly to your guests. The host purchases and provides all alcoholic beverages. If your venue holds a liquor license, alcohol may be sold to guests through the venue's licensed operation. This model is fully compliant with California ABC regulations and is the standard for private event bartending.
