Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide catering or allow outside caterers?

The Aqua Turf does offer off-premise catering to the destination of your choice. We do allow an ethnic caterer (such as Indian or Portuguese) to come in as long as they are licensed and insured and approved by the Aqua Turf Club. Please refer to our Alternative Catering for more info.

How long can the entertainment perform?

Entertainment is allowed to perform the entire time of the function.  Aqua Turf Club wishes everyone to be served a hot meal; therefore we do not recommend dancing during dinner.

How many toasts to the Bride and Groom are normally made?

Usually the Best Man is the one person who makes the toast to the newlyweds.  If additional toasts would like to be made, we strongly suggest making them after the first course has been served.  The more your guests would like to say to the couples or about the couples, the later your dinner is served and the less time you have for dancing!
