Wisconsin Barn Wedding Venues Could Face Limitations

Local farmers are raising concerns about a bill that could change the future of their barn wedding businesses. Bill SB 332, formerly AB 304, states guests can drink wine and beer at these farms no more than six days a year and one day per month. Not only will this impact couples but also the income of many local farmers. These private venues would also be required to have liquor licenses. In a report, the bill as it currently stands is trying to force venues to get a liquor license of which there basically aren’t many. In most towns, the quotas are already used up. Farmers are urging Wisconsinites to reach out to their state senators to reject Senate Bill 332. The next time the bill will be presented to the senate is in September.
