We’re hosting an all-white cocktail attire welcome party for those in town Friday to kick off the wedding weekend. Men are encouraged to wear white, cream, or light beige attire. Women, please wear your favorite white dress, jumpsuit, or set. We can’t wait to celebrate with you all weekend long!

Question
Where will the ceremony and reception take place? Will it be outdoors?

Both! We’ll say “I do” on The Grand Hotel’s oceanfront sundeck (weather permitting), followed by cocktail hour outdoors and a reception indoors in the Penthouse Ballroom overlooking the ocean. No traveling required—everything will take place at The Grand Hotel. Don’t forget your sunglasses! ☀️
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
We have a discount code listed under the "hotel" tab for the Grand and a couple hotels listed that are close by. Cape May is a town full of many hotels, bed and breakfasts, and Airbnb/VRBOs. There is something for everyone. You could even grab a couple friends and book a place together!

Please plan to arrive 15-20 minutes before the ceremony begins. This will give you enough time to get settled before we start promptly at 4:30pm.
