Answers to Your Questions

When should I arrive?

We can’t wait to kick things off with you at the Welcome Party! To make sure you’re ready for the fun, please plan to arrive by the afternoon of Friday, October 16. That way, you’ll have plenty of time to settle in and get into the celebration spirit! For those joining us on Wedding Day, we recommend arriving early on Saturday, October 17, so you’ll have plenty of time to freshen up and dive into the festivities with us!

Will transportation be provided?

We’ve got you covered! Shuttle service will be provided from the Comfort Inn to the Manor on Wedding Day — details coming soon. If you prefer to drive, there’s complimentary parking on-site. Valet service will also be available.

What should I wear?

Our Welcome Party will be cocktail attire — think fun, festive, and chic! Wedding Day is a black tie. We kindly ask gentlemen to wear black tuxedos and floor-length dresses for the ladies. Want a little outfit inspiration? Head over to the Wedding Weekend Attire tab to help guide your look.

Will events be held indoors or outdoors?

Weather permitting, we’re kicking off the celebration with a beautiful outdoor Welcome Party. The Ceremony and Cocktail Hour will also be set against the stunning outdoor backdrop of the Manor. We’ll head indoors for a fabulous reception to keep the party going all night long!

What kind of weather can I expect?

Autumn in New England is crisp and beautiful. You can expect daytime temps in the low to mid 50s, with cooler evenings.

What should I do if I have dietary restrictions?

Please let us know on your RSVP if you have any dietary restrictions. We’ll be more than happy to make sure you're well-fed and taken care of!
