Rides are on-demand, door-to-door, and in 100% electric vehicles. Rides can be hailed via the "Ride Freebee" app, phone, or flagged down. They provide rides across the entire oceanfront area until 11pm. For more information on FreeBee, visit https://ridefreebee.com/service-areas/virginia-beach. We also suggest Uber or Lyft.

For those not done celebrating, we anticipate heading over to The Shack, an outdoor bar on the beach with live music, fire pits, and lawn games. The Shack is located on 8th street, at 712 Atlantic Ave, Virginia Beach, VA 23451. This is a 6 minute car ride from the MOCA.

As much as we love your little ones, this will be an adults-only celebration.

A cookie table is a Pittsburgh tradition, and it's the perfect way to bring a little taste of the 'burgh to the beach. It was said to originate during the Great Depression as the bride and groom's family and friends baked cookies to avoid the cost of a wedding cake. Today, the tradition remains and offers loved ones an opportunity to show their adoration for the newlyweds through baking. All guests will be able to fill up a take-home bag with assorted treats to eat the rest of the week! If you're interested in contributing to the cookie table, please let Gracie and Dan (or their moms) know. We can add you to a shared spreadsheet where you can give us details about what you're bringing and get more information on how it will work.
