Travel Note
Tickets to Diamond Cove are $10.70 and cannot be purchased online. We recommend getting to the ferry terminal at least 30 minutes before the ferry leaves in order to buy tickets so you don't miss the ferry. If you miss the ferry, you can take a water taxi which is about $65 and can carry 6 people. Please see the "Schedule" tab for more information about getting to the island!
Travel Note
Parking can be a challenge in downtown Portland. If you're local, we highly recommend taking an Uber, Lyft, or cab to the ferry terminal. If you're driving, there are various parking lots in the area with varying daily rates. Right next to the ferry terminal is $15 / 24 hours. There's also Simba Parking (216 Fore St, Portland, ME 04101) which is also $15 for the whole day, but you'll need to be out by midnight. Our last recommendation is to park for free at the Marginal Way Park and Ride (I-295 Exit 7, Marginal Way near Franklin Arterial) and taking an Uber or Lyft to the Casco Bay Ferry Terminal.
House Or Rental
There are lots of beautiful homes available for rent on the island with 2- or 3-night minimums. There are a variety of homes with different numbers of bedrooms and capacities. We are so lucky to have Amy Farrell, who manages Great Diamond Rentals, available to coordinate any rentals you're interested in. Please call or email her (greatdiamondrentals@gmail.com) if you're interested in renting a unit on the island and make sure to mention the Auspland Jones wedding!
Flight
There's one major airport in Portland. It's relatively small but if you don't mind paying a little extra, the convenience is absolutely worth the price.
Hotel
This is the only hotel on the island! There's no block so feel free to reserve whichever room suits you. However, if you reserve a room before Memorial Day (5/27), you can get a 10% discount. To get the discount, call Nikki at 207-523-2014 and mention the Jones/Auspland wedding.
House Or Rental
There are a ton of wonderful apartments and home in the greater Portland area and are a wonderful substitute for a hotel or rental on the island!
