Q + A

We know that not a single one of you lives in Delaware. For some of you this might be the only time you'll ever set foot in the state. So, we understand that this is not going to be the most convenient wedding for anyone to travel to. This makes us even more grateful for everyone who is able to make the trip out to celebrate with us!

Primary Accommodations

The Residence Inn by Marriott is our primary wedding hotel. All rooms are suite style with sofa bed and kitchenette. Ideal for sharing. As of May 1, our hotel room block has expired. This means discounted room rates are no longer available. Standard room rate accommodations remain available through the Marriott website. Contact Marty if any issues with hotel bookings.

How to Get There

Our wedding venue, Bayside Resort Golf Club, is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. With gorgeous views along the Assawoman Bay coastline and magnificent pine forests, Jack Nicklaus was inspired to create a course that would offer an incredibly unique golf experience. In his own words, Jack Nicklaus said, "Golfers at Bayside enjoy three distinctly different golf experiences all in one golf course. Some holes are richly tree-lined, others wind through marshland and still others boast wide-open fairways. It is our hope that Bayside is truly a memorable golf experience offering variety rarely found elsewhere." **NOTE: Public tee times are only available after 1pm on Fri/Sat. Wed/Thurs may have more availability. Please call Bayside directly for more info. There are many other nice public golf courses in the area if looking to play on Friday.

A highlight of Bethany Beach, the boardwalk offers a delightful blend of seaside charm. Enjoy ocean views, shop for unique souvenirs, savor delicious treats from local eateries, and catch live music or events that often take place during the summer months.

Bethany Beach Boardwalk

Nestled between Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island, this state park boasts serene beaches perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and surf fishing. The park's bay side is great for paddleboarding and windsurfing, offering equipment rentals for those interested.

Fenwick Island State Park

Dine at Local Seafood Restaurants:Both Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island are home to a variety of seafood restaurants, offering fresh catches of the day. From laid-back shacks to upscale dining, there's a seafood experience for every palate.
