Scheduling
To schedule a Wedding Reception at the OCYC, please

Coordinator will send you a contract to sign
that specifies the date and the time of your
planned wedding reception. To secure the date,
a deposit in the amount of $1,000.00 is required
with your signed contract. Your date will
be reserved when the Event Coordinator returns
your signed contract which has been approved
by the Commodore of the Ocean City Yacht Club.
A facility fee of $600.00 is required for
use of the Club.
Menu Selection
The menu selections on the following pages are designed
to provide you with a wide variety of choices
for food, as well as price and type of service.
Saturday receptions during the months of May, June,
September and October require an attendance

be applied for each person less than 150.
(The 150 does not include band members, photographers,
or children. Children are defined as less
than 11 years of age.)
Gratuity (21%) and Sales Tax (7%) are not included

In order for your reception to run smoothly, you
must guarantee the number of guests who will
attend the reception. This number must be
given to the Club Steward or Event Coordinator

This number of guests will be considered a
guarantee for which you will be invoiced,
even if fewer guests attend.

Sixty days prior to the reception, 50% of the estimated
cost is due. The remainder is due one week
prior to the reception. Your reception must
