Will there be an open bar?

Of course. Feel free to bring cash, only for tipping our bartenders, as we’ll have the same three all night.

What time should we arrive to Rock Island Lake Club?

Our ceremony begins at 5:30pm.

Have you reserved hotel room blocks?

Yes, please see the Hotel, Shuttle and Travel page for additional information, plus booking links and phone numbers.

Can I bring a date?

We have allocated plus-ones to those the space will allow for. Please reference who the save the date and/or invitation were addressed to. When RSVPing, only those on our guest list will appear when searched. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Are children welcome?

No. This will be an adult only event, with no children allowed at the ceremony, cocktail “hour,” or reception. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Is it OK to take pictures with our phones or cameras during the wedding?

During the ceremony, no thank you. A QR code will be provided during the cocktail “hour” and reception for guests to upload their images from the rest of the night though, so feel free to snap away once we’re Mr. and Mrs.!

What will the weather be like? What will be inside and outside?

May in New Jersey can be cool and windy to legit hot, so please keep an eye on the weather. Weather permitting, our ceremony will be lakefront, which means it could be cooler and windier there. The cocktail “hour” is placed in an inside/outside level, where the garage doors can be opened or closed based off the weather. The reception will be inside, though the fire pit and balcony will be available outside all night long.

What should I wear?

This is a cocktail required event. Dresses, nice shoes, suits, ties, etc. are strongly suggested. No jeans, t-shirts or casual clothing allowed, please and thank you. If you feel so inclined, we would love for our guests to partake in our wedding colors based on how you know the bride or groom!
