Catering, Bartending and Waitstaff
The Nahant Life-Saving Station has partnered with a diverse list of local preferred caterers, who have made guarantees providing insurance and other protections that NPT needs. If you strongly wish to hire a caterer that does not appear on this list, NPT is prepared (if given enough time) to offer your caterer the opportunity to sign a catering contract with us. You are also able to hold an event that does not involve a caterer. All events serving alcohol must hire a licensed, insured bartender.
