Council approves temporary liquor license for private wedding at Buhl Community Center
Summary
Council approved a temporary on-sale liquor license naming the Buhl Curling Club as the responsible organization for a wedding reception at the Buhl Community Center on Sept. 27, 2025; the private party will carry additional event insurance.
The Buhl City Council on July 8 approved a temporary on-sale liquor license request that will allow the sale of alcohol at a private wedding reception scheduled for Sept. 27, 2025, at the Buhl Community Center.
The license will be issued under the existing license held by the Buhl Curling Club, which agreed to be named as the responsible organization though it will not operate the event. Council clarified that the private booking party will provide additional event insurance as a rider on their homeowners' policy. No police presence was planned for the reception at the time of the meeting.
The motion to accept and approve the request was made by Councilor Towner, supported by Councilor Loeffler, and carried unanimously.
Why it matters: the administrative approval enables the state licensing process to proceed; the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division issues the temporary license after the city’s approval.
Next steps: the booking party will apply to the state and provide proof of the required insurance before the license is issued.
