Alcohol
Running your event as a 'private party' means you can supply and BYO all your own food and beverage (inc alcohol) but not 'sell' to your guests. See important information as explained.
BYO Options
BYO alcohol is permitted at certain venues, provided the alcohol is free for guests and not to be sold. If you wish to serve alcohol you will need to apply for and obtain a Special Occasion Permit (SOP). Private Event SOPs are for occasional events for invited guests only. Alternatively, a caterer can sell food and alcohol at an event for which admission tickets are sold, which generally would not be considered a private party. The Hirer is not permitted to supply their own food or beverages without prior approval from GP Studios/Get Parked.
Under 18 Parties
As outlined in the Hirer's Rules and Responsibilities, if you are hosting an underage event please note that alcohol is not permitted. GP Studios/Get Parked does not police your door, entry, ID checks, security or party rules so it's up to Hirer to enforce this and/or control access if you require your guests to show ID/be checked off by name. If your event hosts both under and over 18s, we recommend you have different coloured wristbands for under and over 18s.
Publicity
We would love to share your event pictures on our social media and with future venue hire enquirers to show them what is possible! Be sure to tag us in your pictures - @gpstudios.au
