Getting There
Parking / Shuttles
Guests may park near St. Mark’s Church or arrive via Uber/Lyft. To ensure a seamless experience, we kindly ask that all vehicles be left near the church, as there is no parking available at the reception.
Following the ceremony, shuttle service will be provided to transport all guests to the reception.
At the conclusion of the evening, shuttles will depart from the reception with stops at Reef & Barrel for the after party and St. Mark’s Church, allowing guests to either continue the celebration or conveniently return to their vehicles.
FAQ's
What are the reception details? Will it be indoors or outdoors?
The reception will be held at the Andersen family beach house in Sea Girt, under a tented outdoor setting.
The evening will feature a strolling dinner with heavy passed hors d’oeuvres and substantial food stations available throughout the night, along with dancing, live music, and drinks.
Rather than a traditional seated dinner, guests can expect a lively, festive atmosphere centered around great food, celebration, and time together.
What is the dress code?
Wedding Ceremony & Reception:
Coastal Formal - Floor length or midi dresses for ladies; suit and tie for gentlemen. Colors encouraged! Kindly select footwear appropriate for a backyard setting with mixed outdoor surfaces (block heels, wedges or flats suggested). We’re hoping for sunshine and mild temperatures, but the tent will be heated if a New Jersey cold front rolls in.
The Morning After @ The Parker House:
Casual Brunch Attire - No need to dress up, but please no PJs or sweatpants!
What are the parking and transportation options?
If you plan to drive…
• We kindly ask that you park near St. Mark’s Church, as there is no parking available at the house. Shuttle service will be provided to and from the reception.

Is there an after party?
Yes! After the reception, we’ll be heading to Reef & Barrel for continued celebration.
