Alcohol Information If you choose to provide alcohol to your guests, please contact Rhonda Dillon at 763-862-4321 or rdillon@epiphanymn.org and she will put you in contact with Epiphany s provider. We will require you, the host, to carry an insurance policy for the day of your event, listing Epiphany Church as an additional insured. This policy needs to be in the amount of $1,000,000.00.

We will need a photocopy of your policy. Any event that serves alcohol requires an additional $150 damage deposit. Deposit will be mailed within 3 business days of the rental, providing that there has been no alcohol-related damage. A police officer must be hired when alcohol is served, with costs ($85/hour) paid by the permit holder. The officer must stay until everyone has left the facility.
