YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY. DO I HAVE TO COME TO BOTH WEEKENDS?

Please come to one, both or neither. We know life is crazy so we wanted to make it as easy as possible to celebrate with as many of you as possible.

The LBI Wedding Celebration is just a party with no actual service or ceremony as we will be married at the church in London.

CAN I BRING MY CHILD(REN)?

We are happy to help arrange childcare. Please reach out to us or email erinandtom@thegolbornecollection.com.

WILL TRANSPORT BE PROVIDED?

In LBI, we recommend renting a car and then biking and walking once you are there. We will NOT provide transport to and from events (all recommended hotels are within walking distance), however we WILL provide buses from the Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club to Bird and Betty's at 10:00pm for the afterparty.

In London, we recommend the tube, buses, black taxis, rideshare apps (Uber, Lyft, FreeNow, Gett, Taxiapp UK) and walking. Please take into account London traffic if you are traveling via car.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

The weather in LBI in October and in London in December is unpredictable at best. Please be sure to have a light jacket in LBI and an umbrella in London. The V&A is an old building and can be chilly - please have a coat.

And don't forget your dancing shoes! The more comfortable the better, especially as we will be walking between galleries at the V&A.
