Response from the couple:
Hi Janet,

It is really easy to use the Ocean City beach. All you do is submit this form: http://www.oceancityvacation.com/images/stories/pdf/BeachWeddingPermitApplication2011.pdf

All the instructions are on the form and it's free!

You have a few options for chairs. We got chairs through our florist Savannah's Garden: http://www.savannahsgarden.com/index2.php?v=v1

Many of the common reception venues can also arrange for chairs for the ceremony for you. We had our reception at the Ocean City Yacht Club and they offered to help with that.

There are rental companies as well. If you need help planning, I highly recommend Kristin Barse from Bel Momento Events: http://www.belmomento.com/ She was great at coordinating everything and very reasonably priced. I never thought I could afford a planner, but she works with you on price.

Let me know if you have any other questions! Congrats on your engagement!

Joanna

Response:
Thanks so much Joanna. I might be contacting you again. We are looking at this coming May. Did you have any sound equipment and/or musicians? We are keeping this very small but would like to have a small reception in OC as well. Did you choose the 15th Street beach for any specific reason? I appreciate your help so much. Sincerely, Janet
