Garden Party Formal! No idea what that means? That's ok, we had to look it up too. For the gents - Suit and dress shoes, tie optional (we know there are super classy looks with no tie), and don't shy away from those lighter colored suits! For the ladies - long and short formal dresses, jumpsuits, or whatever makes you feel your best (shoes that won't get stuck in grass). Overall this is a formal event and we're excited to see the fabulous looks you turn out. It may be hot out there and get a bit chillier at night, so plan accordingly. The day will take place mostly outside: Ceremony: In an open field Cocktail Hour: Outdoor back patio Reception: Tented on the front lawn The beautiful historic home on the property will also be open for those who need to escape the heat and grab a seat.
If you're unable to take a shuttle from one of our hotel blocks (details on "Travel" page) you may drive to the venue at 10 Cornfield Lane Asbury NJ 08802. Please carpool, we are limiting cars at the venue as much as possible. We will have someone to direct you where to park when you arrive, and parking is free. You can expect a short walk from your car to the ceremony (nothing strenuous). Please do carpool where possible!
We love all your kiddos! But..... no. We're having an adults only soiree (save for two little ones who have a special part in our day). We know it's not easy to find childcare, and we truly appreciate you accommodating our request. All invited guests will be explicitly listed on invitations.
Please RSVP via the invitation you received in the mail. You should RSVP for each person listed on your invitation. Guests who were given a "plus one" will see "and guest" on their invitation. Your promptness in responding makes our lives a whole lot easier! If you have questions or issues with your invitation, you can call Sam at 908-310-0083.
Once the ceremony begins, we respectfully ask that all guests refrain from taking any pictures and that all phones/cameras stay put away and we let the professionals do their thing! So unless your name is Jean Laurent or Dan Prakopcyk, no photos please :) Ceremony pictures can easily get ruined by a sea of iPhones in the shots, we hope you understand! Once the ceremony is over, please take ALL the pictures you'd like. We can't wait to see them all. You can tag pictures on social media with #SandBMeantToBe so that we can find them all!

Yes! Our bar will include a selection of spirits, beer, and wine free of charge. We encourage you to tip the fabulous bartenders! There will be plenty of non-alcoholic options as well!
It's a toss up. June in New Jersey is generally quite warm, but can vary significantly year to year. We encourage you to check the weather leading up to the event by putting "Asbury New Jersey" (Not Asbury Park) into your weather app. Please plan to be outside the majority of the day: Ceremony: In an open field Cocktail Hour: Outdoor back patio Reception: Tented on the front lawn The beautiful historic home on the property will also be open for those who need to escape the heat and grab a seat. Fingers crossed for no rain.
Final schedule will be announced closer to the wedding date, and all details will be added to the "Schedule" page. Arrival time is 6pm and we expect to conclude the night around 11pm.
COVID-19 is a developing situation, and we and our vendors are taking every precaution to give our guests a safe and enjoyable experience. For the outdoor portions of the day (this is the heavy majority) masks will not be required. Indoors, masks should be used at your discretion. At this time, there is no vaccination requirement to attend our wedding, but this is subject to change at any point as new information becomes available. We STRONGLY suggest that all guests be vaccinated barring any legitimate medical exceptions.
