Arbor Crest wines and Square Wheel Brewery beers purchased at Arbor Crest are the only alcohol permitted on the Arbor Crest Estate.  Due to state licensing regulations, hard liquor and outside alcohol is strictly prohibited on the grounds (which includes the parking lot and the Cliff House mansion). You are responsible for alerting your wedding party, families and guests of this in advance.

Security is mandatory for all events after business hours, any event with 50 or more guests and any event where minors will be present. All weddings at Arbor Crest include required security services and are scheduled at Arbor Crest’s discretion.
