Halal & Dry Event Guide

Marking your event as Halal signals to attendees that all food and beverages served at the event are halal-certified — meaning no pork, no pork-derived ingredients, and no non-halal meat products.

The halal label covers the food and drink at your event only. It does not certify the venue, the performers, or any other aspect of the event.

If your event has a food component from an outside caterer, you are responsible for confirming and documenting that the caterer's menu is halal-certified. We recommend requesting a certificate of halal from your caterer and keeping it on file.

Marking your event as Dry signals to attendees that no alcohol will be served or allowed on the premises for the duration of your event.

This includes alcohol brought by attendees, served by the venue bar, or provided by a sponsor. If the venue bar will remain open for non-event guests in a shared space, you must clearly communicate this to attendees — and we recommend not marking the event as Dry in this case.

When creating your event, scroll to the 'Event Culture' section of the wizard. You will see toggle switches for 'Halal Food Served' and 'Alcohol-Free / Dry Event.' Toggle on the applicable labels.

You can also update these labels for an existing event from your Event Dashboard → 'Edit Event' → 'Event Culture.' Changes take effect immediately and are visible on the event listing.

Both labels can be applied simultaneously for events that are both halal and alcohol-free.

Organizers are entirely responsible for the accuracy of these labels. Misrepresenting an event as Halal or Dry when it is not is a violation of our Community Guidelines and may result in account suspension.

If your event's food or drink status changes after tickets are sold (for example, your caterer cancels and a replacement cannot provide halal food), you must update the label immediately and notify ticket holders via the 'Message Attendees' tool in your dashboard. Buyers who object to the change are entitled to a full refund.

TamashaGo reserves the right to verify halal or dry claims and remove the label if we receive credible attendee complaints of misrepresentation.

For millions of South Asian Muslim families and individuals across the US, halal and dry labels are not a preference — they are a requirement. Without them, many community members simply cannot attend events, regardless of how much they want to.

Events that accurately carry these labels see measurably higher conversion rates from Desi audiences who filter specifically for them. It is both the right thing to do and good for ticket sales.

TamashaGo is the only major ticketing platform with built-in Halal and Dry filters. Use them — they are a genuine competitive advantage.
