FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Our dress code is formal attire. For men, a suit and tie is suggested. A midi- or full-length dress / evening gowns are suggested for women. Maine weather can be a little chilly; while the reception will be inside, our ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside by the water on the lawn. Please pack something to help keep warm if it ends up being on the cooler side!

Question

When should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at the Nonantum by 4:30 to be seated so that we can start promptly at 5. Weather permitting, the ceremony will be held outside by the water!

Question

How do I get to the lobster bake?

Answer

There is a large parking lot at Vinegar Hill if you choose to drive. However, we are providing a bus to the venue as there will be an open beer and wine bar. The buses will leave from the Nonantum parking lot with the first bus leaving at 6. You will not be able to leave a car overnight at Vinegar Hill, but may do so in the Nonantum Parking lot. Ubers are extremely limited in the area, so please plan to take the bus or have a DD!
