FAQs
Question
Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?
Answer
Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all taking place at the ICONA Avalon in New Jersey.
Question
What will the weather be like this time of year?
Answer
June in Avalon is usually warm — in the 70s Fahrenheit during the daytime and a little cooler in the evening. The average sea temperature is about 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
Question
Will the ceremony be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
We plan to have our ceremony outdoors on the beach, so don't forget your sunscreen! If the weather is uncooperative, the venue has a covered area to accommodate the ceremony.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
The dress code for our wedding is beach cocktail attire. Ladies should wear semi-formal dresses or jumpsuits, and gentlemen should wear suits or nice shirts and slacks. We respectfully ask that guests do not wear shorts or flip-flops. Our ceremony will be on the beach, so please keep this in mind when choosing footwear!
Question
Do you have specific colors for your wedding?
Answer
Our bridal party will be wearing sky blue, in case people would like to avoid matching. We kindly request guests do not wear outfits that are primarily white or off-white (blush, champagne, cream, eggshell, ivory, et cetera), since these often photograph white. Besides that, we are happy for our guests to wear your favorite colors, including black!
Question
What will the wedding timeline look like?
Answer
Our ceremony will take place on June 17th at at 4:30 pm, followed by a cocktail hour at 5:00 pm and reception at 6:00 pm. We will also have a farewell brunch and pool party at the Barretts' home the following day.
Question
What time should I arrive to the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly ask our guests find their seats fifteen minutes before the ceremony (4:15 pm) so everyone is ready! The groomsmen will be present to assist you.
Question
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Answer
The ICONA is wheelchair accessible. Our ceremony will take place on the beach. While there are no steps, we understand some guests may need assistance and our wedding party is prepared to help guests to their seats.
Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
Due to limited space, we are unable to accommodate children at our wedding. For guests bringing their families for the weekend, Sitters at the Shore organizes childcare services for vacationers in Cape May County. Please note you must enquire at least 24 hours in advance. https://sittersattheshore.com
Question
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
Answer
We respectfully ask our guests refrain from having their phones or cameras out during the ceremony, as we would like our guests to be present with us and allow our wedding photographer to capture those moments. At the cocktail hour and reception, cameras are welcome! We will also have a photobooth for our guests to enjoy.
