Question

What should I wear?

Answer

For our coastal wedding, we ask guests to embrace a "coastal semi-formal" dress code—elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a waterfront celebration. We want everyone to feel stylish and comfortable while enjoying this special day by the water! Women: Think light, flowing dresses in soft, beachy tones, neutrals (not white), or whatever color you are comfortable in. A gown or dress below the knee in breathable fabrics is ideal. Pair with sandals, wedges, or dressy heels. Men: Opt for a suit or dress pants with a button-up shirt and jacket. Loafers or dress shoes are perfect, and ties are optional.

Question

Will the Wedding Be Indoors or Outdoors?

Answer

Our ceremony will take place outdoors, with a fully covered space that can be enclosed with exterior panels if needed due to weather. The reception will be indoors, and cocktail hour will be hosted both inside and outside, weather permitting.

Question

Will Transportation Be Provided?

Answer

A shuttle service will be provided if you are staying at one of our recommended hotels. More information is listed in the "Travel" tab.

Question

What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?

Answer

Let us know when you RSVP, and we’ll do our best to accommodate any dietary needs and restrictions.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We recommend arriving 15–30 minutes before the ceremony to allow time to park (if not using provided transportation), get seated, and settle in.

Question

Will there be parking available?

Answer

Yes! There is ample parking available at the venue. Cars left at the venue over night will need to be picked up by 11:00am on Sunday. Please inquiry with your hotel directly about their parking policies.

Question

Can I Bring A Plus One?

Answer

If your invitation states "and Guest", then yes. If not, we prefer if it was just you.

Question

Are Kids Welcome?

Answer

We look forward to celebrating with you! Enjoy a relaxing kid-free evening with us.

Question

Can I Take and Post Pictures of the Wedding?

Answer

Absolutely! We do ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony, we'd like that time to be unplugged. For the rest of the night, we encourage you to take your own photos and share them with us the following week!

Question

What should we do while visiting LBI?

Answer

There’s so much to enjoy—beaches, mini golf, ice cream spots, and more! We’ve shared some of our favorite local picks on the "Things to Do" page.
