FAQs

Question

What are the venue's COVID precautions?

Answer

Willow Creek Winery is one of the few venues in NJ that has been able to host large indoor weddings during the pandemic due to its large size, window-to-wall ratio, and state-of-the-art HVAC system. Willow Creek was actually hosting weddings 4-5 nights a week in 2020, since many couples had moved their weddings to this venue! Windows will be open to allow airflow, staff will be required to wear masks, and we will offer hand sanitation products. It is our hope that vaccinations will be widely available by the time of our wedding. We encourage guests to follow CDC guidelines, and avoid travel and large crowds for the 14 days leading up to the wedding. Consider getting tested a few days before to ensure a negative result.

Question

Are there any local places you’d recommend I visit while I’m in town?

The beach, of course! South Cape May Meadows for nature walking. The Chalfonte Hotel has live music day and night. We love Elaine's for music, drinks, and it's late hours. Washington Street (and all its nooks and crannies) have restaurants, boutiques, and treats. Congress Hall is a fabulous historical icon, perfect for grabbing drinks on the veranda. The Beach Shack is great for low-key beach vibes.
