Hi. I would like to offer two dozen guests a chair to sit in at an informal beach wedding at Sunset Park in Ocean City, MD. The wedding is at 7:00 pm on Saturday August 20,2011. Companies from other states are willing to charge $100s extra to deliver to your area, but not set up or take down. Is there a selection of Ocean City locals to turn to for seating? I had heard OC was famous for accommodating weddings and OC is the annual vacation spot for my fiance's family, so I still want to have the beach wedding there... Thank you for any advice you may be able to provide!
Try calling Rox Enterprises, 1-866-472-3012. They are a reputable wedding planning business in OC. I'm sure they'll be able to help you!
