FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ceremony begins, as the venue is valet parking only.

Question

So, global pandemic talk. What are the safety restrictions?

Answer

Science-based safety regarding Covid is of utmost importance to us. Masks are required when not eating or drinking. We ask that vaccinated guests be sensitive and mindful towards guests that might not yet be vaccinated, and keep social distance as a sign of respect towards all. The wedding reception will be partly inside and partly outside, with a fully outdoor ceremony and an indoor/outdoor cocktail hour. Tents will be utilized if the weather plays any games with us. Tables will be spaced appropriately to allow for air flow, and the large French doors of the venue will be kept open to increase air circulation. Hand sanitizer will be available.

Question

I'm staying in the area overnight. What are some fun local things to do?

Answer

Welcome to the Jersey Shore! The beach literally starts here. Two minutes from the venue is Sandy Hook National Gateway Area, with beautiful beaches and historic sites, including miles of bike paths and hiking trails. From then on stretching south, check out Sea Bright, Monmouth Beach, Long Branch, and on for miles.

Question

Where can I find the venue?

Answer

The venue, once a Victorian-era beachside country club, is hidden up in the Monmouth Hills overlooking Sandy Hook and the Jersey Shore. The entrance can be an easy-to-miss country road right near Kavookjian Field and the Highlands Elementary School on State Highway 36. Look for our wedding signs pointing you in the right direction!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Think beachy, summery, dressy-but-comfortable!

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Please contact us ahead of time if you have food allergies, particularly any on the serious side (anaphylactic/airborne).

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to Covid restrictions, we respectfully ask that only those invited attend, as there is currently a strict guest limitation on weddings as per both our wedding venue itself and also Governor Murphy's executive order. We must keep our wedding guest limit strictly at half-capacity at our small venue.
