Question
Will the wedding be outdoors?
Answer
We are planning to hold our ceremony on the venue's outside patio, if weather allows. Given the unpredictable nature of the New Jersey climate in late March, that decision will be made closer to the day-of. If the ceremony is held outdoors, heat lamps and other goodies will be provided to help you stay cozy and warm! The rest of the evening's festivities will take place indoors, with the opportunity to enjoy the outside patios and fire pits at your leisure.
