11:00 am - 11:30 am
If you're on time, you're already late.
The venue will open doors at 11am for guests to start arriving. The ceremony will begin promptly at 11:30am and will be short and sweet so please arrive early if you want to partake. Parking is available at the venue if you choose to drive. For our out of town guests, we highly recommend taking a cab or uber/lyft if you plan to drink (yes, there is an open bar). Signature cocktails will be served to help pass the time. Seating for the ceremony will begin at 11:20am.
11:30 am - 12:00 pm
Coats Highly Recommended
There will be a short ceremony outdoors (weather permitting). Otherwise, it will be held indoors. The venue does have a coat check. This is still New Jersey heading into winter so even "good" weather is going to top out at a high of 60 (for all you California people) if we are lucky, so please plan your outerwear accordingly. IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS WILL BE A PHONE FREE CEREMONY. We are asking our guests to keep their phones in their purses or pockets. While we understand you love us so much that you want to memorialize our ceremony in your personal video files for eternity, we would prefer you watch it through your eyes and not your phone screen. The resolution will be much better. We will have professional photographers who will be taking hundreds of photographs, if you really want your own picture, please just let us know and we are happy to send you an autographed one.
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.
This is when the fun (and open bar) begins. If you missed the ceremony, you haven't missed out on any fun or food. There will be a cocktail hour from the end of the ceremony until 1pm. The cocktail hour will have an extensive menu with something for everyone. We promise it won't disappoint. Don't eat a large breakfast (or any breakfast at all), come hungry, pace yourself, drink and be merry! This is a marathon, not a sprint and the race is just beginning.....
1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Pro Tip for Women: Bring some comfy shoes to change into
Reception time! Now that you're no longer hangry and have a little booze in you, let's kick this party into high gear! The reception is going to have some typical wedding stuff (you know what we mean) and it's too late for you to sneak out so just go with it. I'll just notate the good stuff: There is still an open bar, help us get our money's worth. There is still a 3 course meal coming. (in case you didn't enjoy the food at the cocktail hour and you are still hungry) There is a cigar area. There is music and dancing. There are no kids to watch so you can let loose! There are still 4 hours left!

"You're wedding day flies by........ "
So we decided to extend it! We're throwing an after-party. It will be held at a location about 15 min from the venue. There will be another open bar and at some point we will also feed you again. It's not going to be fancy or served to you so if you are looking for a nice dinner experience, you should make your own dinner plans but if you want to feel like you're in college again, come hang out with us and eat and drink some more! VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE RSVP TO THIS EVENT IF YOU PLAN ON COMING. THIS IS A SEPARATE RSVP FROM THE WEDDING. WE NEED A HEAD COUNT FOR PLANNING PURPOSES. **Side Note: Tonight is daylight savings, you gain an hour of sleep the next day. I know we will all need it. You're welcome!**
