DO YOU HAVE ROOM TO STAY AT THE ESTATE?

CAN I BRING IN MY OWN ALCOHOL AND/OR BARTENDERS?

We do not provide alcohol and/or bartenders nor hold a license so if you want a full bar with hard liquor, and mixed alcoholic beverages they must be served by a Pennsylvania Licensed Bartender. All Bar Services working at Beach Glass Estates are required to have a valid certificate of insurance and agree to the Venues Vendors Agreement

If Clients choose not to hire a licensed Bar Service, all beverages must be in self-contained bottles or cans. (No hard liquor, mixed drinks, or kegs). Clients must follow all Catering Policies and remove all trash to an outside dumpster.

There is more information about this in our contract. Contact us if you need help finding a beverage service.

WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BOOK A DATE?

We require a $500 deposit, a credit card on file, and a signed rental contract to book a date. We do not hold dates until the contract is signed and the full deposit has been made. Our contract will be sent to you via email and you will be able to sign electronically and make your payment online.

IS VENUE INSURANCE REQUIRED?

We do require our clients to purchase general liability insurance. Liability insurance protects you from responsibility for any accidents or injuries during your ceremony or reception.
