Everything You Need to Know About 'Wedding Walk'

They're walking the walk on Sunday, but it's not down the aisle yet.

Brides-to-be, their grooms and families will gather in Red Bank on Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a window-shopping and shop-talking walk through town to get a glimpse at and earful of good wedding ideas from all of Red Bank's stores that feature anything wedding-related, from riverfront venues to favors.

Sponsored by Red Bank RiverCenter, the event, for the fifth year, will kick off  with a check-in and continental breakfast at Oyster Point Hotel, 146 Bodman Place, one of the venues.

Then the self-guided tour of the town’s participating businesses begins.
