Question
Where is the wedding taking place?
Answer
The ceremony will take place in beautiful Acadia National Park at Otter Point and the reception will be taking place at the Bar Harbor Inn. Please see details on the "Schedule" page. We can’t wait to celebrate with you along the coast!
Question
How do I get to the ceremony site and what should I expect?
Answer
For those wishing to drive, the ceremony site is called Otter Point which can be easily accessed via Park Loop Road from the visitor center. Don't forget, since this is a National Park, there is a $35 fee per vehicle to enter the park (the pass is good for the entire week if you choose to stick around to explore). There is a parking lot at Gorham Mountain Trailhead, as well as extra spots along Park Loop Road. Once you reach the parking area, cross the street and turn right onto the dirt path. There will be someone there to guide you to the exact spot. For those wanting to take the Island Explorer that is also an option. The Island Explorer is a free bus service throughout the National Park area. Please see the website below for schedules. If you opt for this option, give yourself plenty of time to make it to the ceremony in a timely manner. https://www.exploreacadia.com/ Whatever the weather brings, our celebration will go on! Please plan accordingly.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Our wedding will be a Formal celebration. Think timeless, elevated, and elegant. Floor-length dresses or midi dresses for women, and suits with a tie for men. Coastal colors are encouraged, but not mandatory. Please refrain from wearing white or champagne out of respect for the bride. In regard to footwear, our ceremony will take place outdoors on natural terrain. We recommend choosing footwear that is both elegant and comfortable. Block heels, wedges, dressy flats, or polished dress shoes are encouraged. Most importantly, wear whatever makes you feel beautiful or handsome. We’re so excited to see everyone dressed up for an unforgettable evening by the coast!
Question
Can I take photos at the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly ask that our ceremony be an unplugged moment. Please turn off and put away all phones and cameras as we exchange our vows. We have chosen to have this time professionally photographed and would love for you to be fully present with us. We promise to share the beautiful images with you afterward!
