Other Notes:
Dreesen’s does clambakes on beaches in East Hampton Village & East Hampton Town only. Both EH Village & Town require permits/fees for catering on the beach which involve application fees for the client- we can forward client’s the appropriate forms but client is required to complete and apply for permit. Deadlines apply- permits must be submitted to the appropriate entity 14 days prior to the event! A copy of the permit MUST be provided to Dreesen’s 48 hours prior to event. Dreesen’s will NOT cater any event on the beach without proper permitting as Ordinance does patrol and check for permits and fines would be incurred.
Rain plan: We require every client to have an off-beach rain plan if they are booking a Friday/Saturday date, an alternate home location to move to in case of inclement weather.
There are no cancellations or refunds for weekend events on season in event of rain so a rain plan is a requirement!
If your scheduled date is a weeknight Monday-Thursday, in special cases we will make an exception if we can accommodate you another night.
