We adore kids -- especially yours! However, we wanted our wedding to be a night off from the craziness of parenting! Every couple needs a night to themselves once in a while and we feel that weddings are just not the place for children as much as we love them! We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience it may cause.
Nope! That's the beauty of our venue :) Our hotel accommodations, ceremony, reception AND after party are all in one location! No shuttles necessary.
We would prefer if it was just you attending our wedding. In order to keep our guest list on track, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on our invitation. If you get into a new relationship before the wedding, please reach out to me or Shawn to discuss.
Cocktail, please. HOWEVER we also want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is a little too tight, let it all hang loose and have a great time!
Yes, we do! Please refer to the travel page and it will give you the hotels in which we have the rooms reserved under "Sharkey Wedding." The hotel accommodations will be open until September 18, 2020 and after that date if you have not reserved your room, the Sheraton and Homewood Suites will release the hotel blocks and at that point, you have the potential to lose a room at the hotel since anyone can book at that point.
The ceremony will begin at 11 am. We respectfully ask that all guests arrive 15-30 minutes prior to the start time so you can grab some bubbly and start mingling :)
Temperatures in NJ can always be a bit tricky for our out of town guests that aren't used to the weather. My best advice would be to keep track of the weather the week leading up to the wedding and pack accordingly. The ceremony is at 11 am so hopefully the sun is shining and it will be a little warm! If it's cloudy, then it will probably be more on the cooler side. October is usually a beautiful month for New Jersey so I'm hopeful it will be a great day weather wise and if it is not, we will be prepared either way!
We are registered right here on Zola.Com through our website and Amazon! Just go to the 'Registry' tab which will have all of our items and you can go to https://www.amazon.com/wedding/share/TheSharkeys for our Amazon registry! :)
We have a 5 hour open bar that will be provided. If you wish to leave a dollar or two for tip for each drink, by all means bring some cash with you. Otherwise, your alcohol is all taken care of by us ahead of time and covered.
We are sorry to inform you that it is not. The after party will be open to all guests of the wedding to continue celebrating our marriage and enjoy time together, so if you wish to come down to the bar/lounge you will need to have your own credit card or cash to buy your own drinks once the reception is over.
