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.
