Q & A
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
The dress code for the welcome party is cocktail attire—think fun, festive, beachy, and polished. For the wedding day, the dress code is black tie optional—tuxedos, dark suits, and formal dresses are appropriate. We look forward to celebrating with you in style!
Question
Which airport should I fly into?
Answer
Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) is the closest airport to the venue, approximately one hour away, and primarily served by Spirit Airlines. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) are larger airports located about 1.5 to 2 hours away by car. Philadelphia offers flights through major carriers such as American Airlines, Delta, United, and Southwest, while Newark is a hub for United Airlines and also serves many other major airlines. We recommend considering all three airports to determine which option best suits your travel needs.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to limited space, we’re only able to accommodate those formally listed on your invitation. If you’ve been given a plus one, your envelope will include “and guest” or will be addressed with their name. We truly appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate together!
Question
Are children allowed at the wedding?
Answer
We love your kids, but our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope you’ll enjoy a fun night out with us—we can’t wait to raise a glass and celebrate together!
Question
What date do I need to RSVP by?
Answer
Please kindly RSVP by September 1st to help us with final planning. We appreciate your timely response and look forward to celebrating with you!
Question
Can I take pictures and videos on my cell phone during the ceremony?
