Travel Note

Hotel Information

There are a number of small hotels close to the venue, each with a two-night minimum. We have scheduled a shuttle loop to pick-up/drop-off guests staying at The Rockport Inn, Ocean House, and The Atlantis. Shuttle schedule is posted above. For guests that are just looking to stay over the night of the wedding, we have a separate shuttle going to the Sonesta Select Hotel in Danvers (30 minutes away). We do have a wedding block here as well, but the hotel only offers two-night wedding blocks so you will need to book outside the block for just one night.

Hotel

Rockport Inn & Suites

Located about 15 minutes from the venue. Two-night minimum. We have locked in a group rate, which you can book by calling the hotel and noting you are with the Heslop/Bowman wedding block. It's a small hotel so the block may fill up fast, but you can also book directly outside the block through the website.

Hotel

Ocean House Hotel at Bass Rocks

Located about 5 minutes from the venue. Two-night minimum. *Update*: We have been informed that our wedding block is full, but there may still be a few rooms available that you can book by calling the hotel.

Hotel

Atlantis Oceanfront Inn Hotel

Located about 5 minutes from the venue. Two-night minimum. This hotel unfortunately does not offer wedding blocks, but you can book directly through the website.

Hotel

Sonesta Select Boston Danvers

We recommend inquiring directly if you are looking to book for just one night. We have a wedding block for guests looking to stay 2 nights (under Heslop/Bowman), which you can book by calling the hotel. As a note, the hotel has informed us that rates may be higher for the month of October as it attracts many guests that are visiting Salem, MA for Halloween, so we encourage you to book sooner rather than later.

Travel Note

Venue Transportation

There are limited Ubers/Lyfts in Gloucester. If you are staying in a neighboring town, you may be able to catch one to the ceremony but we would not rely on this. There is plenty of parking at the venue if you wish to drive yourself, or else we would recommend utilizing one of our two shuttle routes.

Flight

Boston Logan International Airport

For guests that are traveling by plane, we recommend flying into Boston Logan Airport. Gloucester is about an hour drive from the city (40 miles).
