Let's get fancy! For our end of summer wedding soiree, the attire is black tie preferred, formal attire required. Traditionally, black tie attire encourages guests to wear formal attire - a tuxedo or formal suit for the men and a floor-length evening dress for the women. Come in a fun summer color or keep it simple in black - up to you and your preference!
As our wedding is kicking off Labor Day Weekend festivities, please be mindful of the ceremony start time. Please arrive by 4:30 p.m. We want you to arrive safely, on time, and ready to celebrate! Please leave enough time to navigate Jersey Shore traffic.
Absolutely! We eat gluten free, alongside a handful of our guests. Our venue is THE BEST at accommodating food allergies. Please reach out with your allergy and/or preferred accommodation and we'll happily provide plenty of allergy-friendly food for you.
We have plenty of options for arriving and departing at the Ashford Estate. Shuttles will leave both hotels promptly at 4PM to arrive for the ceremony. Additionally, shuttles are available at the conclusion of our reception (11:30 p.m.) and after party (12:30 a.m.) to take you back to the hotel. If you choose to drive (and drive responsibly), there is Valet parking at the Estate.
Weather permitting, the ceremony will be held outdoors and on grass. Don't worry - wear your favorite heels! Heel blocks will be provided for those who need them. The cocktail hour will be primarily indoors inside the Estate with outdoor patio access. The reception is indoors in the ballroom behind the Estate.
There is a golf cart for anyone who requires assistance moving from the parking lot, to the ceremony, into the Estate. There are no stairs once inside the Estate.
With the exception of 12+ children in our immediate families, this is an adult only wedding. While we adore all of our loved one's children, we are looking forward to everyone enjoying the night without young children present.
Is the sky blue? Please remember to take care of your bartenders :)
