We will be providing an open bar for cocktail hour, along with the reception. Please feel free to bring some cash along if you like to tip your bartenders as you visit the open bar, this is in no way a requirement but simply a personal preference for some of our guests. (please drink responsibly)
Our venue is situated on the Eastern Shore of MD, where the ride-share services may unfortunately be limited and in turn may be more expensive than you are used to seeing. Please plan responsibly and check out the list of local hotels we provided if you do not wish to be driving far after the celebration concludes.
Most of our guests will be travelling from the Annapolis area and with the summer beach season coming to an end your best route will be taking Route 50 East over the Bay Bridge, from Annapolis it takes approximately 30-35 minutes to arrive at the Prospect Bay Country Club venue in Grasonville, MD.
Historically: October weather on the Eastern Shore is typically mild, with warmish days and cooler evenings. Average temperature falls around 60-61 degrees, with a minimum temperature of 56 degrees and a maximum temperature of 66 degrees.

If you would like to bring a gift or card to the wedding venue, there will be a gift table available to place these items. We have set up a small list of items located on the Registry tab of our wedding website, we have provided our address if you are unable to attend the wedding in-person and wish to send a wedding gift to our home. Josh and I have also set-up a cash fund which will be used towards our future honeymoon adventure.
Currently there is no after party scheduled for after the wedding celebration concludes at 10pm. The Jetty is one of the closest bars to our Eastern Shore venue and may be an option if guests would like to continue celebrating. Let's see how the night goes and chat about it as we cheers Mr. and Mrs. Josh Mah on the dance floor!
We will not be arranging a virtual wedding celebration on our wedding day. For any of our family or friends that are not able to be with us in-person, you will be missed. If you are unable to make it; we can share our wedding pictures with you after the 'big' day and tell you all about the celebration, simply let us know if this is something you would like to do with us.
If any major updates take place about the wedding Josh or I will contact you via phone or text.
Thank goodness we will not have to take any precautions. Let's celebrate! But...if you feel the need to take precautions for personal reasons please feel free to do so.
