Virginia. My daughter is getting married in Virginia. My wife and I am concerned about our liability due to liquor being served. We are from Connecticut and unfamiliar with Virginia. Virginia does not appear to have a dram shop law or social host law. The club is providing beer and wine; the couple must provide hard liquor due to some county law. The club employs the bartenders, has liability insurance ($10M), and contracts for the security guards. I expect that some of the guests will depart after the wedding for a long drive home after drinking (afternoon wedding ending around 4 PM). What is our liability? Should we obtain insurance?
