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.
