If weather permits, the ceremony & cocktail hour will be outside. The venue also has walls that open up to the outdoor space so if weather permits, these will also be open. If it's cold, the ceremony will still be outside but we will move inside for the reception. If it's raining, everything will be indoors. October is a bit unpredictable weather wise so we will have to see!
October is Asbury Park is a little unpredictable. It can be very warm or very cold depending on the day. I would suggest checking the weather ahead of your stay to get an idea of what to wear and/or pack.
The dress code is cocktail attire. For guys, tuxedos are not needed, suit & tie is fine. for ladies, short, midi, or maxi dresses work. The main rule is don't overthink it! Come looking good & feeling good.
The ceremony will be on grass but the remainder of the time will be spent on solid ground. Personally, I think you should be able to wear any footwear without issue, but if you are very sensitive to heels sinking into grass, please take that into account.
Yes, children are invited to the ceremony and reception. The afterparty will likely be held at a 21+ facility so if you plan to come to the afterparty, please take that into account. Also, some hotels are 21+ in the area or lack accommodations for young children so please check with your hotel beforehand.
There will be no plus ones.
The venue is nestled in a residential neighborhood so there will be a ton of street parking available.
The ceremony and reception are at the same location. The afterparty is TBD but will likely be at a different location. More info to come regarding the afterparty.
There are accessibility accommodations, such as a ramp to get in through the front entrance, as well as multiple ways to get into the back area where the ceremony will be. If you need more information regarding accessibility, please contact the venue.
Yes! More info to come soon on the hotel block and other hotel recommendations.
