The additions our crews most often pair with this experience. Select any of them to see the estimate adjust — everything stays changeable in the full build flow. Fresh floral direction is selected separately in the floral section below.

FORMHOUSE does not provide alcohol. Bar staffing and alcohol service are subject to venue rules, required approvals, and licensed or insured service partners where applicable.

Fresh Floral Direction

An optional floral layer, designed to the event.

Fresh florals are never included by default — each direction below is optional, custom-designed to the event, and priced as a starting estimate.

Fresh floral packages are custom-designed around the event, location, season, and available stems. Final floral pricing is confirmed after the design direction, guest count, location conditions, and installation requirements are reviewed.

Floral scope for public-space events is subject to location rules, weather, setup access, and any required approvals. FORMHOUSE may recommend a lower-profile floral plan where structures, staking, open flame, or large installations are not permitted.

How It Works

From first call to clean strike.

  1. Read the tide first

    Beach suppers are planned around tide, wind, and access. We review the exact site before confirming the table's position.

  2. Approvals scoped early

    Public-beach plans are reviewed around location rules and any required approvals — start at least three weeks out.

  3. Dinner at the waterline

    The table is set before your guests reach the sand, and the beach is returned to itself the same night.

Locations + Planning

Planning Notice

Public-space planning requires time.

FORMHOUSE requests at least three weeks’ notice for beach, park, and public-space experiences. Certain locations, larger guest counts, commercial services, structures, or State Park sites may require additional review, insurance, reservations, or permits. Four to six weeks is recommended whenever possible.

  • At least three weeks’ notice for beach, park, and public-space experiences — four to six weeks recommended.
  • Every public-space plan is reviewed around location rules, site access, guest count, setup footprint, and timing before it is confirmed.
  • Power is not automatic on public sites — battery lighting, portable power, or an alternate site plan may be recommended.
  • Permits, reservations, insurance, or third-party fees may apply; final requirements depend on the managing agency.
