Set up party favors on the tables and hang balloons along the wall to showcase the event.
Feel free to set up the space up to 30 minutes before your event begins and guests arrive.
Cocktail Party Menu Offerings
Our menus highlight seasonal produce and our personal touch for flavorful dishes unique to our location in Mays Landing. We are sandwiched between towns that border the shoreline, such as Northfield and Ocean City, and towns further from the shoreline, Vineland, Mount Laurel, and Egg Harbor City. This enables our Executive Chef to partner with local facilities and offer one-of-a-kind culinary experiences for our guests.
Even your most picky eaters will satisfy their hunger during your celebration! We can provide any cocktail party appetizers or finger foods your guests may be craving. Does short rib breakfast tacos or seasonal stuffed french toast make your mouth water? What about roasted mushroom goat cheese salad and bbq glazed smoked meatloaf?
