Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Our ceremony will be held outdoors at the Nine Muses location at the Grounds for Sculpture. There is quite a walk to the reception area (the Water Garden) following the ceremony. While there is a paved path along the route, you will be greeted with grassy areas as well. For that reason, stiletto or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended. Sneakers/comfortable shoes are highly encouraged, especially if you will be exploring the grounds before the wedding!
Have you reserved blocks of rooms at any hotels?
We have reserved a room block at Hilton Garden Inn in Hamilton. Please book your stay by ----------to guarantee a room in our block. Use the code ------or mention the Vaughn/Ferraro wedding while booking to receive our reduced rate. More information and a link to the block can be found under the "Travel" page.
What should I do if I don't make it into the room block?
If you miss the deadline to reserve a room in our block, reach out to the hotel and mention our wedding anyway-they may be able to accommodate you with our discount in a room outside the block. If not, you can find additional nearby accommodations on our travel page.
What's the dress code for your wedding?
The wedding and ceremony will be outside from 6pm-11pm. Please come in something that allows you to move, dance, and play! Please come in anything that makes you feel good. This venue is PERFECT for exploring- comfortable clothing with shoes you can walk in (or sneakers just in case!) are encouraged.
What is the weather like in New Jersey?
New Jersey summers are hot during the day and cool at night. We recommend a light wrap possibly for night and sunglasses for the outdoor ceremony. Don't forget the sunscreen!
Am I allowed to bring a plus-one?
We are not allowing additional plus-ones to our wedding, due to the size of our wedding package. The name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation and no additional guests can be accommodated.
What type of food will be served?
We'll be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner with a choice of entree.
Will there be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?
We plan on having an entree choice that's vegan along with gluten free food options. Please let us know personally if you have any other dietary restrictions.
Will there be an open bar?
There will be an open bar for guests to enjoy throughout cocktail hour and the reception, however we do recommend bringing cash to tip. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will be available.
Could you send me a link to your wedding registry?
You can find our complete wedding registry here on our website under the "Registry" tab.
Where will wedding updates be posted?
Additional updates or changes that need your attention will appear on our wedding website homepage.
I haven't received an invitation or see my name to RSVP online...what gives?
One reason may be a variation between how we have your name on the site and how you entered it. Message one of us to double check. Additionally, while we would love to have everyone attend the wedding, with many of our loved ones living so far away from us as well as other factors, we have opted to have a small wedding/reception. Please know that we love you all the same and hope to be able to spend one-on-one time with you soon.
