Outside-catering policy as published by the venue (source, checked 2026-08-02):
“Bring your own caterer, bar, décor—and even dogs! Many venues enforce strict "in-house only" rules, but at 520, you have full freedom to hire the vendors you love. Couples consistently praise this open policy!”
The catch: No licensing or insurance requirements for caterers are published, and no alcohol-service requirements are stated — confirm both when you book.
Lakeside venue in historic downtown Sanford, walkable to cafés, shops and bars. One of the genuinely unrestricted policies we track — caterer, bar and décor are all yours to choose, and dogs are welcome.
