The easiest way to get to Manchester is to drive or rent a car. It is about a 4 hour drive from both NYC and Boston or 1.5 hours from Albany. Coming from NYC: Take the Amtrak train from Penn Station to Albany- Rensselaer (approx 3 hours). Then take the Greyhound Bus to Manchester, VT (approx. 1 hr). Will drop you off right in the middle of town, which is walking distance to our recommended hotels! Coming from Boston: There are a few Greyhound bus options from Boston (South Station) through Albany into Manchester. Coming from DC: You can either fly directly to Albany and then take the bus into Manchester or follow the NYC route up. Coming from Chicago: We recommend flying into NYC or directly into Albany International Airport. Coming Internationally: We recommend flying into 1 of 3 major New York City area airports- JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark. Or flying into Boston Logan International in Massachusetts. Then either rent a car or follow the transport instructions from the major cities above. If you need any help or coordination, please email Debbie at debbielentz820@gmail.com
While most of Manchester is walkable, we will have shuttles doing drop-offs and pick-ups from all the hotels listed within the accommodations page during the day of the ceremony.
Hildene operates as a museum during the day, and will not allow wedding activities until 5PM EST. If you would like to arrive earlier to take a tour of the location, they are open 10AM EST to 4:30PM EST.
