Q + A

Will there be a rehearsal dinner?

We are not hosting a formal rehearsal dinner. If you are in town Friday evening, we would love to see you! Come grab a bite, a drink, and hang at the Ocean Plaza Hotel.

What time are check-in and check-out?

At the Ocean Plaza and Ocean View Inn, check- in is at 2pm and check-out is at 11am. If you wish the check-in earlier, please call the hotel.

Is there transportation to the venue?

If you are staying at the Ocean Plaza Hotel or Ocean View Inn, there will be a bus leaving at 3:30pm to transport guests to the venue.

I am going to drive myself. What is the parking situation?

The city of Asbury Park operates metered on-street parking. You can pay via mobile app (ParkMobile or Asbury PARK- parking app) or at pay stations. There is ample parking surrounding the venue.

What is the expected attire?

Dress to celebrate! We’re going for an elegant and festive vibe; cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, or suits are all welcome. Add a little sparkle or color if you’d like, it’s a party, after all!

What type of meal should I expect?

Our celebration will be cocktail-style with a variety of passed hors d’oeuvres, sliders, tacos, and grazing tables throughout the evening. Rather than a seated dinner, you can expect a steady flow of delicious bites and plenty to enjoy all night long.

I have a food allergy or dietary restriction. Will there be options for me?

Absolutely! We want all of our guests to enjoy the food safely and comfortably. We have taken all allergy/dietary restrictions into consideration as we built our menu, to ensure there are options for everyone. Food options will be labeled to the best of the venues ability. If you have questions regarding allergies or dietary restrictions, please do not hesitate to ask the staff, as all food. is made in house!

What time should I arrive to the venue?

Guests can begin to arrive 30 minutes prior to the 4pm ceremony.

Can I take photos or videos during the ceremony?

We love you but we'd love to see your faces instead of your phones. We're having an unplugged ceremony, so please silence your devices and keep them tucked away. Our amazing photographer has it covered. Snap away at the reception though! Dance floor pics are always encouraged.

What should we do before the ceremony on Saturday?

You've got a free morning and early afternoon to enjoy Asbury Park and trust us, it's worth exploring. Sleep in, grab breakfast at the hotel (it's included). And check out our "Things To Do" page where we listed some of our Asbury favorites!
