Our ceremony begins promptly at 4:00 PM. We kindly request that guests arrive a bit earlier to ensure they can find parking and settle into their seats comfortably before the ceremony begins. Thank you for your punctuality.

Question

Answer

Whether you are traveling for the wedding, or are simply looking to stay and enjoy the festivities, we have a hotel block at the Hilton Garden Inn (see Travel page). Alternatively, there is another hotel next door at the Renaissance Boston at Patriot Place.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

If your invitation includes the phrase '& Guest,' we warmly welcome you to bring a guest to share in our special day. However, if your invitation is addressed solely to you, we hope you understand that our venue's capacity limits prevent us from accommodating additional guests. Thank you for your understanding and we can't wait to celebrate with you!
