The Wedding Website of Emma Folkart and Andrew Shedd
Long Beach Island is an 18 mile long, ½ mile wide barrier island off the coast of NJ. It's really just a narrow sand bar in the Atlantic Ocean. The island is a special summer spot for us, and we cannot wait to share it with you. The island's hotels are historically 100% booked for the entire summer by February 1st each year. Most hotels allow you to cancel at no cost up until 14 days prior to arrival. We strongly recommend booking now. If you later cannot attend or don't need accommodations, you can cancel at no charge. But if you wait into the new year, you may find nothing available. Below are accommodation recommendations with pricing based on booking 11 months in advance. Rates rise as the date gets closer. We recommend contacting hotels for "best available" pricing. Some have codes to help our jitney locate you. There are also bed & breakfasts and Airbnbs throughout the island. If you choose one, consider the southern end near Beach Haven since our Welcome Party will be there.

Travel Note

Jitney Service

We will have a handful of jitneys touring each of the recommended hotels to provide transportation to and from the wedding venue. The jitney will leave your location approximately one hour before the ceremony time and will be available until the end of the reception to take you back home. Certain hotels have provided a wedding code. Please use it so we know where you are staying and have a jitney available for you.
