FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Our chosen dress code is "spring formal!" But don't worry, not the high school kind. We encourage jackets & ties, elegant dresses, nice pantsuit, or nicer cocktail attire! If you have a floral pattern in mind, we'd love to see it. A note for those thinking of wearing stilettos, there are docks and brick pavers throughout, so we would encourage wider heels.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

At the end of April, Long Beach Island can range anywhere from the high 50s to the low 70s. But do not fear! Most of the events will take place inside, and the venue provides heat lamps for any outdoor spaces we might enjoy should the weather agree.
