Important message from us!
Answer
We understand that this is a BIG ask, both financially and travel wise and want all invitees to know that it’s okay if this is not doable for you or your family. We love and appreciate you regardless! And I want to thank you for being important people in our lives, we'll celebrate with you soon!
Question
How do I book a cabin?
Answer
This is technically a destination wedding, as it is four or five hours away from most guests. There are plenty of cabin style lodging on site with enough space for all guests. Due to the amount of guests attending, all cabins have been assigned so every guest has a place on site if they desire to stay. This is to ensure that everyone has a spot and we can maximize the amount of cabins (and beds) available. We also wanted to make sure that everyone is sharing space with people they know! You will be given the option to book just the cabins that were assigned to you, and have until 50 days before the wedding to cancel if anything comes up. To book, call the New England Outdoor Center and let them know you're booking for Joe and Alexa's wedding. Your cabin name has been written on the bottom of the Important Details card in your invitation so that you can see if your lodging will work for you or your family before calling to book. Please reach out to Melissa Ronan at (603) 498-6963 if there are any issues or questions with booking . We want everyone to be happy and comfortable and will try to accommodate in any way that we can!
Question
Why are the dates listed for Friday AND Saturday?
Answer
In order to book a cabin at the New England Outdoor Center, you are required to stay for more than one night. Ideally, you would stay Friday and Saturday night. This way, on the day of the wedding, you won't need to make the big drive! If you wish to stay longer than just two nights, you can see if the cabin that you were assigned is available for Thursday or Sunday. If two nights are not doable for you, please contact us so we can see if we can make that work!
Question
Why don't I have a plus one?
Answer
Due to the capacity of the venue, availability of the cabins, and number of loved ones that we want to attend, there is a limited number of plus ones that we were able to give out. It will be specified on your invitation if we were able to give you a plus one. If it’s not directly stated, then unfortunately we just didn’t have the space and hope you understand. As the RSVPs come in and space opens, we will reach out if we are able to offer you a plus one closer to the wedding.
Question
Where else can I stay if I don't want to stay onsite?
Answer
There are a number of Airbnb's in the area, along with a few small inns. There is a hotel in the town of Millinocket, but we suggest reading the reviews before booking! We will provide Airbnb suggestions, along with other cabin style lodging in the area. Look under the "Travel" tab to book your cabin at the New England Outdoor Center, and for other lodging options!
Question
Will transportation be provided?
Answer
A shuttle will be available before the ceremony and after the reception to take guests back to their cabins. If you prefer to drive, it's about a mile up the road. The shuttle will start departing from River Driver's Restaurant at 2:30 pm and will make multiple trips until 2:50. The shuttle will take you back to your cabin at starting at 8:30 pm until 11:15 pm.
