FAQs

Question

Where is the wedding?

Answer

Question

How do I get to Block Island?

Answer

To get to the island, you’ll need to take the ferry. Point Judith is the Block Island Ferry’s main ferry terminal, located at 304 Great Island Rd, Narragansett, RI 02882. You can see the ferry schedule and purchase tickets at https://www.blockislandferry.com.

Question

Do I need to get accommodations on the island?

Answer

You can come over for just the day, if you’d like. But we recommend staying a night or two, if you can, to have some time to enjoy the island, and to avoid having to travel so much in one day.

Question

How do I get around the island?

Answer

The venue is walking distance from the ferry. The downtown area with accommodations, restaurants, and shops is also within walking distance. Some of the beaches are walking distance as well. To get to other areas of the island, you can rent a bike or moped. You can also bring your car over on the ferry if you reserve it ahead of time or wait on standby the day of, but spots are limited.

Question

What kind of weather is expected?

Answer

Late September on Block Island is typically in the low 70s or high 60s during the day, and the mid 50s at night. Most days are sunny and a little breezy. The ocean temperature is actually pretty warm (for the northeast) because it’s had all summer to heat up.

Question

Will the ceremony or reception be outside?

Answer

Yes to both! The ceremony will be on the beach. The reception will be on a patio that is covered. Afterwards, there will be a fire on the beach.

Question

What’s the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire is encouraged.

Question

What kind of shoes should I wear?

Answer

You’ll be on a sandy beach for parts of the day, so we’d recommend sandals.

Question

Do you have a wedding gift registry?

Answer

Having you at our wedding is all the gift we need! No other gift is expected, but if you would like to give something, we have a honeymoon fund set up in our registry.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer
