Our Wedding

Our journey to June 2026 began a full year before our official announcement. Steven had a private dinner with my parents to ask for my hand. He shared his intentions and showed them the heirloom ring his mother, Staci, had personally passed down to me, a moment of joy and appreciation for family and tradition that we will always treasure.We spent the following year in a private space for grief, navigating the heartbreak of losing both Staci and my Grandma Georgia. During those difficult months, we leaned into each other and held onto a final piece of advice Grandma gave us: Get married first! Everything else will fall into place.True to her word, it did. Last December, during a walk by the water at dusk, Steven asked if I wanted a grand production of an engagement or to finally see my ring right then and there.Once our date was set, we finally shared the news with our families on Christmas Day 2025. We find immense gratitude in knowing that Staci and Grandma Georgia were the very first to be made aware, and we know they’ll be cheering us on from the front row in spirit this June at The Claridge.

You may leave your suit/dress in these respective “prep/lounge” rooms for steaming the night before. Our videographer and photographer will be documenting the “get ready” process for the big event, and party photos will be at various locations in the hotel/surrounding areas- so please be ready to start early!

Groomsmen Checklist Suit &amp; Tie &amp; Pocket Square: After your measurements are confirmed, your order will ship directly to you! Please try on immediately upon arrival to check for measurement errors or additional tailoring needed! Please do not wait until the week of to try on your suit. Orders can be exchanged and modified so long as it’s within the 4-6 week production time.

Dress Code

While The Claridge is not a casino, Ballys is! Indoor Connection:&nbsp;The 2nd-floor walkway connecting The Claridge to Bally’s is wheelchair accessible. While some areas near the connection have short escalators, accessible routes with&nbsp;ramps or elevators are available to bypass them.

Bally's Atlantic City Hotel & Casino

Located on-site and open to all wedding guests, enjoy sunset (approx 8:30 pm on June 20th, 2026) at the rooftop lounge with cigars and coffee. 🌅

The VÜE Rooftop Bar

Head to the hotel's connection point with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/viewer/place?mid=/g/11_8_zq22&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwisnIGFgYCTAxUNLVkFHdj8BpYQqdYPegYIAQgDEAI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bally's Atlantic City</a> (the hotels are physically next to each other). Walking through the Ballys casino is the most direct path, typically taking about&nbsp;2–3 minutes&nbsp;to reach the Boardwalk. Once you step onto the Boardwalk, the beach is directly in front of you. Access is free, and no beach tags are required

Atlantic City Boardwalk/Ocean 

Getting to Steel Pier: For our wedding party events/videography taking place at Steel Pier, the most convenient way to travel from The Claridge is the&nbsp;Boardwalk Tram. You can catch the tram directly on the Boardwalk behind the hotel for a scenic 5-minute ride ($10 per person round trip. Bride and groom will try to have extra 5’s on hand for wedding party night out.) If you prefer a stroll, it is a roughly 15-20 minute walk north along the Boardwalk.

Things to Do

Due to pre-existing health conditions in some of our guests (as well as the indoors location) we have to ask anyone who feels ill or may be experiencing cold or flu symptoms (or has been in contact with them) within 48-24 hours of the event to please stay home or at their place of lodging. &lt;3 We’ll do our best to ensure you receive any wedding favors meant for guests, and depending on location, we can arrange to have your dinner brought to you by staff. While we understand the inconvenience, we encourage guests to wear masks in public places approx 10 days before the event (especially if traveling from out of state!) This can ensure a stress-free &amp; mask-free evening for everyone, and no one will wake up a week later saying “Ugh, I think I caught something at Tori and Steve’s wedding!” Masks sent out with invitations are optional to wear before the date and highly recommended for those using public transport- however they are NOT required for the wedding day. 💕🙏
