Bringing Cannabis Into Your Venue: What to Ask Before You Book

Finding a cannabis friendly wedding venue starts with a conversation. Every venue sets its own rules, and the best time to learn them is before you sign. Here is what to ask, and what your cannabis bar should bring to the table.

Questions to ask your venue

Is vaping allowed, even if smoking is not?

This is often the deciding question. Many venues now permit vaping, while traditional smoking often remains off-limits. Our bars lead with a smoke-free approach built around low-temperature vaping, which opens doors that a smoking area would not.

Where can the bar go?

Ask where a cannabis bar can be set up: indoors, on a patio, in a garden. The answer shapes your menu and your guests' night.

What insurance do you require?

Most venues will ask about insurance, and this is where a cannabis bar can stand out or stall. Ask what coverage they need, and whether they need to be named on the policy.

Have you hosted a cannabis bar before?

A venue that has done it before will know the answers to everything above. A venue that has not may simply need the right information.

What your cannabis bar should bring

Grassfed stands out as the only cannabis hospitality service provider in California to carry a specialized general liability insurance policy that specifically covers cannabis consumption. This unique and essential coverage, a rarity offered by just one company in the U.S., comes with every bar, and we can add your venue as an additional insured.

We have been pouring since 2016, across more than 300 events, and our approach is subtle yet impactful: mindful consumption and precise dosing, with cannabis complementing your event rather than dominating it.
