Yes, we always recommend buying your own alcohol. You have the liberty of returning unused bottles for a full refund. Or why not just keep them for more parties in the future!

Return bottles that are sealed to any LCBO store in Toronto or other city in Ontario along with the original receipt. Also make sure they have their labels intact. The bottles should be returned within 30 days of purchase. If your alcohol was bought for a permit event, you will need to show the permit and the sales receipt.

Similarly, for Beer Store returns, you would need to show Special Occasion Permit (SOP returns). Here too, the product must be sealed and retain its original packaging.

It’s not easy to estimate the amount of alcohol that will be consumed. That said, if you buy your own liquor, it might be easier to keep track. You have the flexibility to return unused liquor to the store. That allows you to establish an approximate budget based on the maximum that guests will consume.

Distilled alcohol is more expensive than standard drinks. It forms a good measure to establish your budget. Assume that each guest consumes one standard distilled alcohol drink (43 ml of 1.5oz) per hour.

Use our handy party alcohol calculator to help you arrive at a ballpark figure.

Our mixologist service planning staff are ready to create bespoke liquor orders for our customers across Toronto and Ontario! We will need details of the theme, budget, preferences, and other factors to do that. This will take most of the guesswork out. 

We will even supply the recommended bottles to make it easier for you.

Securing a liquor permit is not always necessary. We will guide you through the entire process and advise you on the types of permits.

You don’t need a liquor permit for a non-public event in a non-public place in Ontario or Toronto with no liquor sales.

However, you will need a permit if alcohol is offered for sale.

You will also need a permit if you serve alcohol anywhere except a licensed establishment or a non-public place.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) defines a non-public place and a non-public event as:

• A non-public event is where only invited guests will attend. These events cannot be advertised and there can be no sale of liquor.
• A non-public place is an indoor area usually inaccessible to the public.
