“Pearl & Brine was an extraordinary addition to our Hunting Valley wedding cocktail hour. Their master shuckers were pros from start to finish — effortless communication, stunning presentation, and the freshest Island Creek and Kumamoto oysters we have ever tasted. They arrived completely self-contained, and our guests are still raving about the Kaluga caviar bumps!”

We partner directly with premier sustainable shellfish farms on both coasts — including Duxbury Bay & Wellfleet (MA), Damariscotta River (ME), Eastern Shore (VA), Puget Sound & Hood Canal (WA), and British Columbia. Every harvest is air-freighted within 36 hours of the tide and logged under 90-day ICSSL tag traceability.
No. Our custom mobile raw bars are 100% self-contained. We bring our own sculpted ice, commercial NSF sanitation kit, stainless shucking stations, and waste receptacles — making us ideal for private estates, tented lawns, boat docks, and historic venues.
For a standard wedding cocktail hour or private reception alongside passed hors d'oeuvres, we recommend 5 to 6 oysters per guest (300 oysters for 50 guests, 550 for 100 guests, and 1,000 for 200 guests).
A 50% retainer and signed event agreement secure your date on our calendar. Final guest counts, oyster variety selections, and the remaining 50% balance are due 14 days prior to your event so we can place your custom coastal harvest order.
