Things To Do

Topsfield Fairgrounds

The Topsfield Fair is a beloved New England fall tradition — and it’s happening during our wedding weekend! With pig racing, fresh cider, games, and all the cozy autumn vibes, it’s a perfect way for our Michigan guests to experience a true New England fall.

Salem

Salem, Massachusetts is a land of enchantment, history, and culture. Visit the Witch City of Salem, MA, America's most bewitching seaport!

Boston Long Wharf Waterfront

The downtown Waterfront is a series of walkway-lined wharves on Boston Harbor with marinas, seafood spots and hotels. Rose Kennedy Greenway, running parallel, is a string of parks with a carousel, fountains, public art and food trucks. Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park offers harbor views. Families and tourists embark on sightseeing cruises or head to the New England Aquarium’s IMAX Theatre and giant ocean tank.
