WhattimeamIabletoset-upandtear-down?
Our events team will handle the setup of Club items, including tables, chairs, linens, flatware, and glassware. Personal or rental item setup should be coordinated through your Wedding Planner or rental company. For weddings, if the room is available, you may begin setup the day before your event. Otherwise, you will have access to the space at 9:00 AM on the day of your event. Please note that tables and linens may still be in the process of being prepared. Deliveries can be scheduled as early as 8:00 AM when the building opens. Tear-down begins immediately after the event. All vendors and event decor must be removed from the venue within two hours unless otherwise arranged. Storage is not available.
For wedding-related events, such as rehearsal dinners or welcome receptions, setup access is typically available by 2:00 PM on the day of the event. If timing permits, access will be granted earlier, but cannot be guaranteed.'

You are welcome to use your booked event spaces and the outdoor locations on BHYC property including the Gazebo, Promenade Dock, Lower Lange Center Terrace, and Yacht Docks. You may not enter private homes, yachts, or the member-only areas of the club at any time. Guests must remain in the designated booked event spaces.
Doyouhaveanydécorrestrictions?
We are flexible on décor if there isn’t any damage to the facility, furniture, or rental items. Any damage to the facility, as a result of décor, will be charged accordingly to the final event invoice.
• Candle wicks must be trimmed to 1/4 inch before use and must have a "wax-catching" barrier between the candle and the furniture on which it is set.
• Beeswax or soy candles are highly preferred as their burn produces significantly less soot. While more traditional paraffin wax candles are permitted, this must be kept to a limit of 8 candles per table.
• Stay away from taper candles and candlesticks; our ventilation system will burn them in less than an hour.
• The wind varies- make sure all outdoor décor is firmly secure, and centerpieces are heavy enough to withstand any unpredictable gusts of wind.
• Floating Lanterns are strictly prohibited by Bay Harbor city ordinances - use a sparkler exit instead under the vestibule in front of the Lange Center Entrance.
