How will guests get to the venue?
There are two options!
1. Transportation will be provided from the TownPlace Suits (see Travel tab) to the wedding venue. Family friends have generously donated their time to bring guests from the hotel to the venue, and will leave the hotel promptly at 4:15pm. Guests should be ready and in the hotel lobby around 4pm. Later in the night, buses will run continuously between the venue and the hotel starting at 9:30pm and will run through the after party until about 12:30am.
2. Guests can drive themselves and park by the lower barn on the Romano property. Parking is limited, but this is a great option for guests who are not staying at the Towneplace Suits hotel as part of our wedding room block.
Can guests who drove themselves leave their cars overnight?
Yes! Because this is a family farm rather than a traditional venue, guests are encouraged to leave their cars overnight to be picked up any time the following day if they are feeling at all unsafe to drive. Shuttles to the TownPlace Suits will run continuously from 9:30pm - 12:30am, so there will be ample seating.
What time should guests arrive?
Please arrive no later than 4:45pm.
How and when to RSVP?
You can let us know if you will be attending on our wedding website under the "RSVP" tab. Please RSVP no later than April 01, 2024.
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Both! With ideal weather, the ceremony and dinner will be held outside in the backyard, while cocktail hour and dancing will be held inside on the main level of the house. In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony and dinner will be moved to a tent.
What is the dress code?
Semi-formal. With this dress code, guests can come dressed in cocktail attire, but can also opt for something a little more relaxed than a full-length dress or tux. Memorial Day in New Jersey has historically been warm and humid, so keep this in mind when planning what to wear. Also be mindful of footwear, as portions of the wedding will be outside in grass.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes! Alcohol is on us, but if you plan to participate, please remember cash for tips for our lovely bartenders. If you don't have cash, don't worry! They also accept Venmo.
Where can the wedding registry be found?
If you are interested in purchasing a gift from our registry, it can be found here: https://www.theknot.com/us/samantha-rodriguez-and-samuel-romano-may-2024/registry. When purchasing items from our registry, please ship them to the pre-filled address in New Mexico rather than bringing them with you to the wedding, as it is difficult for us to transfer items from New Jersey back to New Mexico. Also be sure to include a note in the order so we know who to thank for their generosity!
Can wedding pictures be posted on social media?
Of course! Be sure to use #TheSams2024 on any posts so we can easily find and enjoy them.
