We have room blocks at two hotels in Bay Head, the town immediately next to Mantoloking. The Bentley and The Grenville are both conveniently located near the beach and downtown Bay Head, and are between 2-2.5 miles from the venue, or a 5-10 minute drive. For larger groups, if you'd be interested in renting a house in the area, please reach out to Kendall or Will and we'd be happy to coordinate that for you!
For guests flying in from outside of the area, we recommend flying into Newark Airport (EWR) and renting a car for the ~1 hour drive from Newark to Bay Head. Uber and Lyft are typically available, though may be costly considering the distance. Train transportation is also available via NJ Transit, but the trip to Bay Head will take a bit longer (~2-2.5 hours). The other major New York-area airports (JFK and LGA) are also viable options, but both require renting a car, and travel time to Bay Head will be longer (~1.5-2.5 hours depending on traffic).
Yes! On our wedding day, there will be shuttle service from both hotels to the ceremony, and back to the hotels after the reception. A more detailed shuttle schedule will be provided as we get closer to September. Guests not staying at either The Bentley or The Grenville are more than welcome to walk or drive to either hotel to catch the shuttle. Also, Bay Head and Manotoloking are both conveniently walkable, small beach towns that blend into one another. If you prefer and have the time, it is definitely possible to walk from the hotels to the venue, which you are more than welcome to do! Uber and Lyft are typically both available in the area if you need or prefer to use them at any point during the weekend.
Although we love your little ones, this will be an adults-only weekend. We appreciate your understanding!
While we highly encourage you to take either take one of the provided shuttles, Uber, or walk to the ceremony & reception, there should be plenty of parking on the street near the Mantoloking Yacht Club should you need to or prefer to drive.
