    My parents said that they only have one request for the wedding: that they can provide their own alcohol to the reception.

    Problem: I have yet to find one venue that will let us do this...I have looked, granted, I probably missed some, but I was hoping the Bee might have some ideas. Also, it looks like the PLCB strictly prohibits consumers providing their own alcohol. My parents however are convinced that this should be a piece of cake.

    We had our reception at the Independence Visitor's Center. Our caterer was Max & Me.  We were able to bring our own liquor.  Max & Me were fantastic!  The venue was absoutely amazing!  Let me know if you would like any more information.

    I know Front and Palmer (http://www.frontandpalmer.com/) is BYO as well - the caterer Feast Your Eyes runs it.

    Any of the private estates in the Philly area let you bring your own.  We looked at Carynwood, The Pheonixville Foundry, and several others.  Call a catering company, we LOVED Feastivities, and talk to someone there.  They can definitely recommend.

    My wedding was at Cairnwood and you had to supply the alcohol. It was the best decision ever - we were able to do everything that we wanted!

    I'm pretty sure Aldie Mansion in Doylestown has you bring your own alcohol - they're caterer is Jeffrey Miller.

    The Raquet Club of Phila lets you bring your own alcohol (keep in mind though that they have an exclusive caterer- who are great !)

    Our ceremony and reception is booked at the Independence Seaport Museum-- it's completely BYO because the Museum doesn't have a liquor license. They do provide you with the bar, all mixers, garnishes, etc. So far everything has gone very smoothly, I highly suggest them!!
