This scenic bar & restaurant is right on the Chesapeake Bay for optimal views and photos!
This will be a casual event after we wrap the rehearsal with light bites and drinks to cheers to the festivities ahead! We'd love to welcome you and see you before the big day! An RSVP will be included in our invite to get an idea of headcount. For those of you staying at the CBBC Inn for the weekend, it's a short walk and/or they have hotel shuttles to bring you to Libbey's. There is also ample free parking onsite. PS - this is right next to the marina as well as the wedding venue across the way, so be on the lookout for both - including our Save the Date boat inspired design!

Semi-Formal Festive, Dressy Casual
***For guests staying at Kent Narrows Hotels we will have a coach bus picking you up. The bus will depart from Hilton Garden Inn at 3:20, Hyatt Place at 3:30 and Holiday Inn at 3:45). It is a short drive and they will take you to the ceremony spot with the ceremony starting at 4:30pm). There is ample parking if you choose to drive.*** Think festive cocktail attire, balance between elegant and comfortable. Classy and polished. (Don't worry, limited grass/beach walking, however we expect to see you on the dance floor later that evening to take full advantage of our Dewey Beach staple band, so plan accordingly)! Note, the whole evening (ceremony to after party) is onsite in one area and shuttles will be provided to the after party. The ceremony is outdoors, weather permitting, and directly on the shore so anticipate a light breeze from the bay. Will move to an indoor space at the same location as needed for inclement weather.
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Most know of Haley's love for Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and the like growing up! With that, we had to pay tribute to these classics and welcome a hometown Rehoboth Beach Local Jazz Singer, Bryan Clark, to join us to kick-off the evening! Fun fact, he was singing at a local restaurant on one of our first dates and we made a comment that he'd be great to have at a wedding! And here we are! Cocktails and appetizers will be served. This will be hosted directly beside our ceremony in the indoor/outdoor water view space of the Bayside Tavern.
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Immediately following our ceremony and cocktail hour, both largely outside (weather permitting), we'll move inside to the Beach House Ballroom for dinner at 6pm. Meal preferences and options to be included when our invites are sent out.
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Over the years, many of our guests have joined Matt or Haley (or more recently, both) for some Dewey Beach vibes! Love Seed Mama Jump (LSMJ) is a local band predominately blowing up the scene at the Rusty Rudder for the last 20+ years! Fun fact, they also played at Haley's sister's wedding in Rehoboth as well as her cousin's wedding in Charlottesville! It's a family affair! After dinner, we'll move back to The Bayside Tavern for dancing and drinks!
10:00 pm - 11:45 pm
Yes, after the show it's the after party, then after the party it's the hotel lobby then... We'll shuttle over to the CBBC Inn onsite for an after party with drinks and snacks flowing until midnight! After the party, shuttle services will be provided back to Kent Narrow area hotels.
9:00 am
At this time, we have not pre-planned any events for Saturday however would love for you to stay an extra day if desired! Many of our guests have relayed they plan on making reservations to soak in a long weekend. We encourage everyone to check out Knoxie's Market onsite at the Inn for a casual breakfast setting! We've long enjoyed watching wedding guests chat and dine the morning after - this is a regular weekend dining spot for us as it's a short walk from the Marina! And we plan on doing the same and catching up with our guests in a casual environment for those to come/go as they please! For those of you staying the day, weather and hangover level depending, we can invite folks to join us for a day of boating hosted by The Firetti's and The Newlyweds. We're likely to grab lunch/happy hour at Libbey's that afternoon as well! For those staying the evening, we recommend dinner onsite at Knoxie's Table! Please keep us posted of your plans so we can coordinate!
