Yes, there are certain rules and restrictions for beach ceremonies. Ceremony set-up can not begin until after 5:00 pm.  Space is not guaranteed nor can you ask beach patrons to move. Taylor Pavilion equipment is not allowed outside the venue nor are any rented  outside chairs allowed inside. All rentals must go through Shore Catering.  The rental company would be required to set-up and breakdown ceremony at an additional charge.

Shore Catering would rent the Gazebo for 3 hours. Any ceremony chairs would need to be rented separately through Shore Catering. The rental company would be responsible for set-up and breakdown for an additional fee. 

Yes, an indoor ceremony would consist of the dance floor being used as an aisle, a row of chairs for immediate family, and all other guests would be seated at their tables on the left and right-hand side of the dance floor.  The charge for an indoor ceremony would be an additional hour for the staff on site.

The building will be unlocked according to your “staff arrive” time noted on your contract. Any additional time would be $35/hr (plus travel) per staff member as needed.  If tables/chairs are needed for decorating, a minimum of 2 staff members will be required for set-up depending on the size of the event.

Yes, but all flames need to be in a glass holder to prevent both dripping wax and a fire hazard. Candlesticks are not permitted.  If linens are damaged by wax, the client would be held responsible for damages.

Anytime alcohol is brought on premises, a registered Belmar-approved bartender would need to be hired by the client hosting the event. A $100 fee would need to be added to your invoice to cover liquor liability insurance.  You would be required to contact your homeowners and/or renters insurance for one-day event liquor liability insurance. Please name Shore Catering as additionally insured for this coverage on the day of your event.

All rentals must go through Shore Catering, this includes the venue rental, applications, and 3rd party rental companies for all your furniture/equipment needs (round tables, padded chairs, service bar, cocktail tables, string lighting, etc).  Let us know what you are envisioning and we will provide you a quote.

Although the beach is not included in your rental, guests are permitted to walk on the beach after 5:00 pm. Prior to 5:00 pm, guests must purchase beach badges to access the beach during in-season months.  Alcoholic beverages are not permitted on the beach and/or boardwalk.

Your vendors may enter the venue according to the staff arrival time noted on your contract. They would be required to vacate the premises within 30 minutes of the event end time.  If you need additional time, it would have to be discussed prior to the event, and additional $35/hr fee would be added.

The Pavilion can only be rented with one of our catering packages and on-site staff. We are responsible for unlocking, setting up, ensuring pavilion rules are being followed, and locking the building.

In addition to one of our catering packages, you are allowed to bring in outside desserts, cake, or beverages. Other items are on a case-by-case basis; let us know the item you wish to bring.

 The usual ratio is 1:80 guests. Your bar service will give you recommendations for bartenders and how much alcohol to supply. We recommend using plastic for bar drinks. If glassware will be rented for the bar, a bar-back responsible for racking glassware would need to be hired.
