Yes! We Eloped in February. So, we are skipping a ceremony and jumping right into the party to celebrate! Check out some pictures from our elopement in the Gallery!
As we are in the process of moving and downsizing, we opted to not have a traditional registry. We are honored to have you join us; no gifts are necessary. Your presence is the only gift we need.
Ledger unfortunately does not have any parking. Here are a few suggestions of paid lots Front Street Lot: 48 Lafayette Street Church Street Lots: 72 Church Street or 15 Federal Street Seawall Street Lots: 8 Sewall Street If you plan to join for the after party, you may want to park closer to Mahi Cruises as that is where we will end the night. South Harbor Garage: 10 Congress Street Notch Brewery Lot: 283 Derby Street All area hotels also have parking options you may want to use. You can also find free and paid street parking around Salem, just pay attention to the signs.
We will be providing a trolley to the boat for anyone that wants to join! Don't worry if you miss the first one, the trolley will make a few trips. It is also a short walk over if you want the fresh air! Please arrive at the dock by 9pm, we don't want to leave you behind.
The reception is cocktail attire. For men, this typically means a suit, sometimes with a tie, and dress shoes. For women, it involves a cocktail dress, a jumpsuit, or elegant separates. Consider bringing a jacket or sweater for the after party, it can be a little cooler on the water. Wear whatever makes you comfortable for welcome drinks. The bride and groom will be in cocktail attire but feel free to dress casual.
We will be having welcome drinks and light bites from 6pm-9pm at Hallowed Ground: a speakeasy style bar. It is located under Dire Wolf Tavern. You will find the entrance under the red light in the alleyway.
Crane Beach is a 1,234-acre (4.99 km2) conservation and recreation property located in Ipswich, Massachusetts, immediately north of Cape Ann. It consists of a four-mile-long (6 km) sandy beachfront, dunes, and a maritime pitch pine forest. Five and a half miles of hiking trails through the dunes and forest are accessible from the beachfront. Parking does need to be booked in advance. Passes are released Thursday at 12 noon for the upcoming Friday-Monday. You should book a pass on 8/13 at noon if you plan to join us on Saturday. Book via the website below. We will send out a reminder in advance. https://thetrustees.org/place/crane-beach-on-the-crane-estate/ Bring a towel/beach chair, and a swimsuit! August is one of the nicest times to enjoy the water. We will have some drinks on hand but feel free to bring anything particular you want to enjoy. Alcohol is technically not allowed but we will have some cups if you want to transfer a beverage of your choice into them ;) You may notice the location of the Beach Day has changed, this is the closest beach to our new home. We swapped the location so everyone could come enjoy our new town!
