Those that go, know. Year after year, we pack up our cars, battle traffic on the A.C. Expressway, and jockey for a spot in the sand. Traditions are born, memories are made, and, if you’re lucky enough, a summer fling down the Shore turns into the real deal. Or, you know, maybe it doesn’t, but you still want to hear the water lap while you say your vows and pose for pictures on a pier or two. Behold: our comprehensive guide to your New Jersey Shore wedding.
For the next two weeks, we’ll be sharing everything you need to know about getting hitched where Philly goes to the beach. New articles will publish daily, so bookmark this page and check back regularly for everything from our comprehensive list of New Jersey Shore wedding venues to fresh beach wedding decor ideas and insider wedding planning info.
