Planning a “Golf Outing in NJ”?

The usual contenders for golf outings in central NJ are Royce Brook Golf Club in Hillsborough or Trump National in Bedminster but because they are very in demand, they charge accordingly.

If you are thinking about planning a golf outing or just wondering if switching your outing to a new club will be better on your budget, take the time to visit Neshanic Valley Golf Course in Somerset County. Not only is NVGC one of the top five public golf courses in the state of New Jersery but it also has a unique advantage: the food and beverage is handled exclusively by one of the area’s most well-known event catering companies, Merri-Makers Caterers. For over 35 years, Merri-Makers has catered hundreds of weddings, corporate events, political events for presidents and state governors, and private parties so it was a natural fit for golf outings to become part of their repertoire.

Neshanic Valley Golf Course offers outings the option of dining indoors in “A Room with a View” or outside of Mulligan’s Grille and can even handle outing dinners for up to 500 guests under their outdoor tent, “Splendor in the Grass.”

Keep in mind that golfers like a change of course from year-to-year and they won’t be disappointed with the golf course at NVGC.

“Merri-Makers Caterers, recognized for the past 30 years for distinguished cuisine and artful presentations, can now add a new service to their extensive portfolio: Comedy! The authorities in gourmet and distinctive catering were recently called upon by Bayshore Fitness to host a rather ridiculous event.”

Bayshore Fitness is New Jersey’s largest fitness center. Recently, they brought their employees to the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center to enjoy a Merri-Makers catered event. Rightfully dubbed ‘Evening of the Absurd’, this comical occasion is actually a classic favorite of Merri-Makers. 500 employees of Bayshore Fitness were treated to healthy cuisine with a heaping side of Laugh Out Loud!

This parody of a traditional holiday party featured a dancing Richard Simmons look alike tossing up fresh greens at the salad bar, an actor posing as a Rabbi attending to the pork station, a Santa Claus serving corned beef and a Geisha girl working the wok station. The amusing wait staff took several ‘dance breaks’ to boogie to party favorites like the Chicken Dance and the Macarena. Party guests, of course, were unexpectedly left with trays of food in their hands while their wait staff supplied entertainment. Attendees were handed funny glasses with large red noses to wear during the party which was all about supplying a little bit of nature’s best medicine, laughter.

Merri-Makers Caterers has been facilitating countless corporate events, galas, fundraisers, wedding receptions and banquets in New Jersey for the past thirty years. The depth of their capabilities stretches far beyond excellent food and flawless execution. With their high-end catering division, M2 Caterers, coupled with their Food Solutions division, MM365, this multi-faceted catering and food service organization has established itself as New Jersey’s pre-eminent caterer

“NJ catering company known for catering lavish galas and fundraisers was selected by Count Basie Theater to cater a fundraiser in which Bruce Springsteen was the headliner. Proceeds helped the historic Red Bank theater with renovation costs.”

On May 7, 2008, Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey successfully hosted their largest fundraiser to date. Proceeds from the event which was entitled, “An Evening with Bruce Springsteen,” benefited the historic Count Basie Theatre and helped to offset the cost of the renovation and restoration of the theatre that began over the summer. The headliner of the event was Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

The backstage area was turned into an exquisite and exclusive cocktail party which M2 Caterers, the high end off-premises division of Merri-Makers, catered with butler style hors d’ouevres for 250 guests.

Count Basie Theatre Foundation Chairman, Rusty Young, announced the evening to be a resounding success in both talent and support. The Count Basie Theatre Foundation continues their vision of physically and artistically reviving the Count Basie Theatre in raising the necessary capital and support to bring the glory of the theatre back to a much-appreciative arts community.

Recently, an additional fundraising event for the foundation included the Count Basie Theatre Foundation Golf Outing on September 18, 2008 at the Spring Lake Country Club.
