FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Kindly RSVP by Friday, October 10th, 2025, as we will need to finalize our guest list for our vendors. RSVPs will be done via this website once formal invitations are sent. Unconfirmed responses will be considered a regret.
Question
Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?
Answer
CEREMONY: The ceremony will be held at St. Augustine Church, in Ocean City. It is located at the corner of 13th street and Wesley Avenue in Ocean City. Please note that if you plug St. Augustine Church into a GPS, it will take you to the church rectory, NOT the church. COCTAIL HOUR/RECEPTION: The cocktail hour and reception will be held at the Flanders Hotel on the banquet floor. Please head to the main lobby and someone can direct you up the stairs to the reception floor or to an elevator.
Question
Isn't Ocean City a dry town?
Answer
Yes, but fear not! Our venue is contracted to serve alcohol. For time before the reception, you may want to have a cooler for your room, or there are plenty of watering holes located over the bridge in Somers Point.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Please plan to arrive at St. Augustine Church BY 1:45 PM. Once the ceremony begins, the church is unable to let guests in.
Question
Can I take photos or videos during the ceremony?
Answer
Politely, no. We'd like our wedding shots to be free of people holding up phones. The greatest gift you can give us is to be truly present with us as we say, "I do." Our amazing photographer and videographers will capture every moment, and we would love for you to simply sit back, relax, and enjoy it with us. We'll be happy to share the professional photos/videos afterward.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Ceremony: Dressy casual is appropriate for the ceremony since guests will have time prior to the reception to get ready. Think dress pants and a button up for men, and more casual sun/cocktail dresses for women. Please, no jeans. We also welcome the attire you plan on wearing for the formal reception if you do not want to get re-dressed. Reception: Our wedding will be a FORMAL affair. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear a suit and tie, while ladies can opt for a floor-length gown, jumpsuit, or formal cocktail dress. We can't wait to celebrate with you in style!
Question
Do I get a plus-one?
Answer
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally listed on your invitation. If you receive a plus one, they will be listed under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Ms. McAuley and Mr. O'Connor are off duty- please leave your children at home and enjoy this date night! We appreciate your understanding!
Question
Will there be transportation provided?
Answer
Since the venue is the hotel, there will be no transportation needed. The church is a 7 minute walk from the hotel, or a 2 minute drive. Please allow time for parking if choosing to drive.
Question
Will there be an afterparty?
Answer
DUH!! Join us in the oceanfront penthouse suite, room 902, to keep the party going; DJ Pinnola will be spinning on aux. Once you get off the elevators on floor 9, walk left and the room is in the back corner. Coolers are welcome!
