nj venues that allow outside catering

This is a good idea!

Thank you! it's actually an out of state caterer who will be doing it for us, so he is not familiar with venues in the state.

I lived in Point until recently and I cannot think of anyplace there where you could bring in your own caterer. Have you looked at Asbury? The Watermark is stunning and this is on their website:

Off –Premise Catering For receptions with over 150 guests, or those clients desiring an off-premise caterer, Watermark provides the venue rental and ‘wedding open bar’ service only - and clients are required to contract with an outside caterer of choice for all food service. Any off-premise food provider must be a licensed, insured and reputable company. Caterers must provide all food, servers and equipment needed for food service – and agree to certain menu requirements. A list of currently approved catering partners can be provided.

Here is their website : http://www.watermarkap.com/Wedding_brochure.pdf

I have been there for a wedding, it is different and beautiful!

Camden County Boathouse has a list of preferred Caterers but I don't know what their policy is for going off list. They are on the water though (but not a beach) and might be a reasonable option!

The water witch club in the highlands. Not exactly on the water, but it's close. Very pretty venue!
