Essential Montauk Wedding Planning Tips

Weather Wisdom: The ocean breeze is part of Montauk's charm, but plan accordingly. Always have a weather contingency and consider wind-resistant hairstyles and veil weights.

Guest Experience: Book accommodations early—Montauk is a popular summer destination. Consider arranging group rates at hotels like Gurney's or The Montauk Beach House.

Local Flavors: Incorporate Montauk's culture into your celebration with local seafood, Montauk Brewing Company beers, or a clambake rehearsal dinner.
