Travel Note
To get to East Hampton, you can take the Jitney, a bus that cruises from Manhattan to the Hamptons. It stops in Queens to pick up people arriving at JFK & LaGuardia. We recommend prepaying to secure your seat- they tend to fill up quickly! If leaving from Manhattan, we recommend departing from the "40TH ST - MONTAUK AND AMBASSADOR" on 40th between Lexington and 3rd in front of Shake Shack Midtown East. If leaving from JFK or Laguardia, take an Uber/Lyft to the "HAMPTON JITNEY EAST BOUND AIRPORT CONNECTION" stop, which is on Horace Harding Expressway in front of the AMC Fresh Meadows 7. The Jitney has two options; the Jitney or the Ambassador. The Jitney is the regular line ($49 onboard/ $41 prepaid). The Ambassador is nicer with good snacks and faster wifi ($75 onboard/$65 prepaid).
Train
If the schedule lines up with your travel plans, then the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) is a great option. If you're traveling from NYC, the LIRR is available from Penn Station and Grand Central Station. You may have to transfer at Jamaica Station, but it's an easy transfer and still recommended. If you're arriving at JFK, follow signs to the AirTrain, and ride it ~10 minutes to Jamaica Station. Transfer at Jamaica to the LIRR. If you're arriving at LaGuardia, you'll still need to get to Jamaica Station to catch the LIRR. You can take the bus, subway, or a 10-minute Uber.
Hotel
East Hampton Point Resort and Marina is the location of our wedding reception. We will be staying here along with many others attending our wedding. There is a pool, tennis courts, paddle boards, a cafe, and free transport to the beach! If you'd like to book here, you can use the promo code COLLEENANDLEVI at the time of booking on EHP's website to have a discount applied. We recommend booking via desktop, since their website isn't optimized for mobile browsers. If the options don't work from you then we recommend booking an Airbnb locally. Please let Levi and Colleen know if you could use help finding people to book accommodations with or have any other questions.

House Or Rental
Private home rentals tend to offer the best prices for lodging in the area, particularly if you are booking in a group. We highly recommend booking in Springs (the circled area of the map in the photo above), with secondary options being Northwest Woods (to the west of Springs across Three Mile Harbor) or Amagansett. Vrbo and Airbnb both have plenty of options, but we recommend booking ASAP.We have embedded an Airbnb link with the search parameters in the "View" button below.
