If you’re planning a wedding, private party, or corporate event in Idaho, it’s important to know that Idaho alcohol law no longer allows unlicensed individuals to serve alcohol at private events — even if no money is exchanged.

Under Idaho law, alcohol may only be served or dispensed by a properly licensed business. This includes weddings, private celebrations, and invite-only events. “BYOB bars,” friends pouring drinks, or hiring bartenders to serve alcohol you provide are not compliant unless a licensed business is responsible for the alcohol service.

This has led to increased enforcement and confusion for couples, venues, and event planners — many of whom are learning about this requirement only after they’ve already started planning.
