Wind & Sea Wedding Catering: Choosing the Right Vendor for Your Big Day

Do You Allow Outside Caterers at Wind & Sea? Here’s What to Know

Planning your dream wedding at Wind & Sea? One of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right caterer. We understand that food is a huge part of your celebration, and we do allow outside caterers—with approval. Since Wind & Sea does not have a commercial kitchen, all outside caterers must be aware of our facilities.

To make your planning seamless, we recommend working with Wedy or one of our preferred caterers, such as Chef Hyson, MacDonald Farm, and Sea Stars.

Bringing in an Outside Caterer to Wind & Sea: What You Need to Know

Not every wedding venue allows outside catering, but at Wind & Sea, we welcome outside caterers who meet our requirements. Before you sign a contract with your chosen caterer, they must be pre-approved by our team to ensure:

  • They understand our kitchen facilities and on-site requirements

If you’re still searching for a caterer, working with Wedy is a great way to streamline the process. Wedy’s vendor marketplace includes pre-approved caterers who meet Wind & Sea’s guidelines, saving you time and effort.
