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 (thicker 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:
Smart Casual - Think your favorite brunch outfit. Fall dresses, sweaters, blouses with denim, or elevated jumpsuits for ladies; collared shirts with nice jeans or pants for gentlemen.
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.
If you plan to drink…
• We recommend taking an Uber/Lyft to the church. After the ceremony, shuttles will transport guests to the reception and will run at the end of the night to the after party.
• Ubers/Lyfts are readily available for transportation from the after party or at any time during the evening.
Can I bring a date? Are kids invited?
Due to limited space, attendance is limited to those named on your invitation. Kindly note that this will be an adults-only event. We truly appreciate your understanding and can't wait to celebrate with you!
