"Sandy Hook Cottage Bed & Breakfast and Highlands, NJ, have promoted themselves as a gay-friendly respite for several years," comments Caylin Sanders, President of EscapeMaker.com, "but now with the law passing, they are not only a weekend getaway destination but also a wedding 'civil union' and honeymoon one as well!"
Less than a 1-hour drive from NYC, 45 minutes by Manhattan's Seastreak Ferry or 90 minutes from Philadelphia, Highlands, NJ, is an historic seaside village -- quickly becoming known as a hip getaway for urbanites as new restaurants and shops open regularly. "Because of its Atlantic ocean views and proximity to Sandy Hook's beaches, Highlands really offers the best of both worlds for a vacationer," adds Sanders.
Jerseyshoregayweddings.com owner and Sandy Hook Cottage Bed & Breakfast proprietor, Eddy Sousa comments, "The New Jersey legislature has labeled it a 'civil union', but gay and lesbian couples have waited their entire life for this magical, memorable moment -- their wedding day." Sandy Hook Cottage Bed & Breakfast hosts small ceremonies for up to 25 people and offers planned, customizable wedding "civil union" packages. The Wi-fi and Jacuzzi equipped B&B also provides bike rentals and luxurious amenities to its guests.
The getaway contest will run through May 31, 2007.
