If you have a wedding on private property (family's acreage) and an open bar do you still require a liquor permit?

No you don't. If its an open (free) bar and on someones acreage its like you invited your friends over and paid for all the booze! Just make sure there is a sober, responsible person serving... You are responsible for your guests

Why do they have this on the permit website?  
 
What’s the difference between sale and no-sale permits?  
You need a no-sale permit if you’re going to be serving liquor to your guests at no cost. Types of events may include business meetings, an official opening of a business, a family gathering following a religious ceremony, birthday celebrations, bridal showers or weddings.  
 
You need a sale permit if you’re going to be selling liquor to guests. Sale permits can be issued to individuals, organizations, or corporations (profit and non-profit). Types of events may include socials, weddings with cash bars, festivals or fundraisers.
