Kindly RSVP by September 30, 2025 for us to have an accurate headcount.
We ask our guests to arrive at the chapel 30 minutes before the scheduled time of the ceremony. This should be enough time to park your car, find your seats, and do whatever you need to do before the start of the ceremony.
Formal attire. Black Tie is optional. If possible, please refrain from wearing white, ivory, beige, etc. Any other color is acceptable. Additionally, please wear dress shoes that you are comfortable in. Please refrain from wearing sneakers, slippers, and casual shoes.
For the ceremony, the Bayonne chapel has a parking lot with limited spaces. We suggest that our guests arrive 30 minutes early to secure a parking spot and/or carpool. For the reception, the Tides Estate will have complimentary valet parking.
We will be having an unplugged ceremony. Meaning, we ask all our guests to NOT take pictures/videos and to put their phones away for the ceremony. We have an amazing team to capture those moments; we will be happy to share those pictures/videos with you after the wedding. However, during the reception, feel free to take as many pictures and videos as you'd like.
Please check your invitation for your plus 1.
We hope you understand that children are only invited if their names are on the invitation.
Both the ceremony and reception will be held indoors. The reception venue has areas for you to go outside and take pictures.
Historically, New Jersey temperatures in the fall are typically cool with crisp, refreshing air ranging 54-64 degrees Fahrenheit. It can be warm during the day and chilly at night. We suggest to wear clothing that has sleeves and/or bring a light jacket.
For the reception, we will be having a dry wedding and having a program that unfortunately, does not include dancing. But we are sure you will have a great time.
If you or anyone in your party has a severe life-threatening allergy, please let us know immediately and we will let the caterers know. You can also include any allergies when you RSVP on our website.
