I’ve heard of a few weddings happening tonight with the guests coming in costume—the more outlandish the better! Here is a great cake from Anne Heap of the Pink Cake Box in Denville, which would have been perfect for your Halloween wedding. She creates some of the most creative cakes in New Jersey…check our her website—pinkcakebox.com—for inspiration!
And if you’re getting married tonight, let me know! I’d love to hear all about the fun details!
Want to make a grand entrance at your wedding just like the stars do at movie premieres out in Hollywood? Check out the Wed Carpet Runway, which is a white carpet and custom-designed backdrop package especially made for weddings that you can create, design, and order online at redcarpetrunway.com. The backdrop can include your location, date, your names, the logo of your venue, or even a photograph. Besides using the white carpet to make your grand entrance at both the ceremony and reception, you can stand in front of the backdrop for your receiving line or take pictures of your guests during the cocktail hour in front of the backdrop. The carpet also comes in other colors to match your wedding theme—they even have green carpets (the cause, not the color!) They’re a fun way to add a bit of glamour to your wedding. All you have to do is add the paparazzi and clamoring fans!
For the first time in 20 years, the Chapel at Sandy Hook is now available to the public for weddings and events. It’s a beautiful waterfront site and is the latest addition to the roster of locations catered exclusively by award-winning Merri-Makers (merrimakers.com). The chapel is the first building of the Fort at Sandy Hook to be renovated to its original, simple elegance with the convenience of new full services.
The chapel, with a newly restored wood floor, seats up to 200 guests, and is open year-round for social and corporate events. An elegant tented area located next to the chapel can host your formal wedding or casual rehearsal dinner.
Also brought back to life is the historic Fort Hancock Post Theater. With a classic marquee, heightened stage, and 320 fixed tiered seats, the theater offers a unique space for your wedding. You can walk down the aisle and up onto the stage for the starring role in your own wedding ceremony.
For information on holding your wedding at either site, contact Merri-Makers at 732-264-3355 or merrimakers.com.
Looking for a one-of-a-kind location in New Jersey? The Open House at Adventure Aquarium in Camden is your chance to see the aquarium’s new Currents Ballroom, along with their preferred service providers. The event will be held on Wednesday, October 1 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. All brides and one additional guest are invited free of charge—which is a great deal—and even parking is free. If you want to bring your entire bridal party, additional guests are just $10 each.
At the open house, you’ll be able to sample hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, and meet vendors for everything from entertainment, floral and stationery to photography/videography, fashion, transportation and more. Currents event specialists will also be available to answer questions and discuss the details of your wedding. Special contract incentives will even be offered to those who book that evening.
The Currents Ballroom offers panoramic views of the Philadelphia skyline across the river, as well as three movie-screen-sized windows into the 550,000-gallon Shark Realm exhibit—home to nearly 30 sharks. The ballroom can hold sit-down dinners for up to 400 guests and cocktail receptions for up to 1,250. You can even incorporate the aquarium’s exhibits and adventures into your event.
