The Best Thing We Ever Found Online

In September 2022, Danielle and Anthony found each other on Hinge. They messaged back and forth for a bit, but eventually lost touch for a few weeks. Curious about what had happened, Danielle opened the app again and realized she had accidentally left Anthony on read.  Determined to reconnect, Danielle bravely messaged Anthony—and a few days later, they went on their first date at Tavern on George. There was a live band playing that night, and they spent the evening yelling over the music while trying to get to know each other. This accidentally became a theme for their dates: always picking places that were way too loud to hear anything.  Anthony’s family jokes that Danielle stuck around those first few dates because she couldn’t actually hear what he was saying. But regardless of the volume level, both Danielle and Anthony knew from that very first date that they had found something special.  As their relationship grew, Danielle and Anthony split their time between Highland Park and West Long Branch, before finally moving in together in Matawan in February 2024. Just two months later, Anthony proposed to Danielle—almost dropping the ring into the Manasquan Reservoir in the process. Thankfully, Danielle said yes!

Travel

If you’re planning to make a long weekend out of our wedding, we highly recommend spending some time in Ocean City—one of our favorite places! We love relaxing at the beach, strolling the boardwalk, mini golfing, shopping along Asbury Avenue, and grabbing breakfast at some of our go-to spots. Need more specific recommendations? Just let us know—we’re happy to share our favorites!

Visit Ocean City

There are plenty of great restaurants near our room blocks, and we wanted to share a few of our favorites: Beach Buns Bakery (Northfield) One of our favorite coffee spots, conveniently located halfway between the hotels and the venue. We’ve recently fallen in love with their coffee and sticky buns! Holiday Coffee (Ocean City) A cheerful spot in the heart of OC with great coffee and seasonal drinks. Stop by to see our friends and try their Fluff on the Beach, the perfect beach-day treat. Ventura’s Offshore Café (Northfield) A great option for larger groups, with a big menu that offers something for everyone. Sunday Gravy (Linwood) A cozy, delicious Italian restaurant that’s also BYOB. Mexiquila (Somers Point) A mix of entrees and tapas-style Mexican food in a fun, lively atmosphere. Sofia’s (Margate) Mediterranean cuisine with a stylish interior and a great vibe. Betty’s Seafood Shack (Margate) One of our favorite hidden gems! A super casual, mostly outdoor spot right on the water with fresh, local seafood. Smitty’s Clam Bar (Somers Point) A local institution for fresh, reasonably priced seafood. It’s cash only and BYOB—ask for an ice bucket and some cups in the parking lot, crack open a drink, and enjoy the bay view while you wait for your table. Tideline (Margate) A relaxed, upscale spot overlooking the bay, perfect for a sunset dinner or sipping cocktails with a view. The menu features fresh seafood, steaks, and seasonal specials, all in a polished yet laid-back setting.

Restaurants 

We’re big fans of checking out local breweries when we’re around! Here are some of our favorite spots: Somers Point Brewing Company — Super chill vibe with tasty rotating beers. Plus, you can bring your own snacks! Cape May Brewing Company — Great beer garden and awesome IPAs. Perfect for hanging out with friends. Slack Tide Brewing Company — Friendly, laid-back spot with lots of cool brews to try. Whale Tale Brewing Company — Relaxed coastal vibes and some of the best radlers around.

Local and Cape May Breweries

Our venue is about 20 minutes from Atlantic City. We recommend checking out some of the casinos if you're into that- our favorites are Oceans Resort and Borgata.
