If you have a European passport, please apply for an electronic visa called ESTA: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ This electronic visa is valid for 2 years. It costs about 15-20 USD and you will receive it quite quickly via email. ** However, if you have traveled to Cuba during recent years, you'll need to apply for a tourist visa at a US embassy in your country. We advice to do this timely.
There are many direct flights from Amsterdam to Boston Logan Airport. Alternatives are JFK in NYC
If you are looking to stay close to the venue we recommend staying in the Wrentham/Foxborough area. If you are looking to have a weekend in Boston we would recommend Downtown or the Seaport!
We suggest renting a car for the ultimate flexibility. If you're visiting from NYC/Manhattan - you can either take the train or bus to Boston (this take approx. 4 hours). The venue is located approx. 40 min from Boston.
Summers in New England are quite hot, but pleasant. There is no dress code - it's a summer wedding - so, please wear whatever you feel comfortable in
