We recommend guests book their accommodations ASAP, as July is high season on Block Island. See our "Accommodations" tab for more info.
No, guests are welcome to stay wherever they prefer! The wedding is being hosted at the Spring House, but there are many other popular hotels, inns, and rental properties on Block Island all within a short walk or taxi ride of the venue. See our "Accommodations" tab for more info!
We don’t recommend it. The island is very walkable, taxis are easy to come by (including a taxi stand at the ferry dock), and most hotels—like Spring House—are a short walk or ride from the ferry, shops, restaurants, and other attractions! Bikes and mopeds are also available for rent. If you bring a car, it must be transported on the Pt. Judith Ferry with a vehicle reservation, which may sell out, and parking on island is limited. See the “Ferries” tab for details.
No, Uber/Lyft aren't permitted on Block Island. Taxis are readily available at the ferry terminal and throughout the island by calling a local taxi company. Most can accommodate groups, accept cash and Venmo, and often arrive within minutes. For local taxi numbers, visit: blockislandchamber.com/cabs
We recommend staying two nights—Friday to Sunday—for a relaxed, enjoyable weekend. At minimum, plan to stay Saturday night, as the last ferries leave around 8:00–8:30 PM, making it impossible to attend the wedding and return the same day. If staying one night, book early, as many hotels require a two-night minimum in July.
Coastal Casual: sundresses or smart separates for women; collared shirts and trousers or shorts for men. Jackets not required, closed-toe shoes for men.
Black Tie Optional means formal attire is encouraged but not required. Tuxedos and evening gowns are welcome, but a dark suit and tie or a formal cocktail dress are also perfectly appropriate. We also encourage guests to have fun with color—feel free to dress vibrantly!
We recommend Biltmore Tuxedos in Ridgewood, NJ—guests receive 10% off by mentioning the Sheridan-Norton wedding. Address: 36 E Ridgewood Ave, Ridgewood, NJ Phone: (201) 444-2722
