The venue is ~2.5 miles away, and transportation will be provided to and from the ceremony and reception. We have a block of rooms booked for our guests.

Flight
For guests flying in from outside of the area, we recommend flying into Newark Airport (EWR) as it's the closest airport to Bay Head. We recommend renting a car for the ~1 hour drive from Newark to Bay Head. Uber is available though may be costly considering the distance. Train transportation is also available via NJ Transit, but the trip tends to take between 2-2.5 hours.
Flight
The other major New York-area airports (JFK and LGA) are both viable options, but the travel time to Bay Head will be slightly longer (~1.5-2.5 hours depending on traffic). If you plan on flying in and out of either of these airports, we recommend renting a car.
