No. Due to Connecticut state liquor laws, we do not hold a retail liquor license and cannot sell alcohol. You purchase the alcohol, and we bring the magic. We provide a custom, itemized shopping list tailored to your exact guest count and menu choices, showing you exactly what to buy down to the bottle.

When purchasing one of our curated packages, we bring everything except the alcohol. This includes our professional bar tools, premium ice for chilling and serving, high-quality compostable drinkware, napkins, straws, and our signature garden ingredients (hand-pressed juices, house-made syrups, and living garnishes).

Hourly pouring only services are available as well.

You can purchase your spirits, beer, and wine from any package store of your choice. Many local Connecticut vendors offer delivery directly to your venue or home.

Pro-Tip: We highly recommend collaborating with local purveyors who will allow you to return unopened, unchilled cases after the event!

Absolutely. Garden Spirits carries comprehensive General Liability and Liquor Liability Insurance. Our bartenders are also fully TIPS certified. We can readily provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) to your venue upon request.

As a New England-based business, we know the weather can be unpredictable! The client must provide adequate overhead coverage (such as a tent, awning, or indoor backup space) for the bar staff and equipment. We cannot operate out in the open during active rain or severe weather.

We happily serve hosts all across Connecticut and parts of Western Massachusetts.
