When planning your Ocean City wedding, it is essential to start early. Ocean City is a popular spot for nuptials. Wedding service providers, such as caterers, musicians, and reception sites, get booked up well in advance.
Since hotels fill up long before our heavy wedding season, it’s recommended to reserve blocks of rooms for your guests at a variety of locations. Guests should also be provided with a list of realtors and rental homes in case they decide to make a longer vacation out of your wedding. Inform friends and family that Ocean City is a very popular destination and that planning for your wedding day should be done as early in advance as possible.
It is also very important to send out a save-the-date, pre-wedding mailer at least four months in advance. Invitations should go out at least two months in advance. The Chamber of Commerce has several different trip-planning brochures to choose from to include with save-the-date mailings. Find more information on Places to Stay and Real Estate Services and Request Chamber Publications.
