We are requesting that all RSVP's are received by March 1st, 2025.
Yes :)
Yes.
We would like our guests to please dress within this specific color palette: https://pin.it/4vi4UM9kE When planning your outfit, think relatively small, semi-formal, cocktail garden party. Suits are not required. Here's a mood board if you're wanting some outfit inspiration: https://pin.it/3EkzpJJMy
Please, don't! We want our wedding photos to look cohesive, and there is definitely a certain ~vibe~ we are going for. If your outfit is too far outside of our color palette, you may not be included in many of our photographs.
The ceremony will begin at 5:30 PM, and the hotel does not have parking on site. Please allow for at least 15 minutes to walk from your parking spot to the venue if you are not staying at The Hotel Salem.
There are several lots, garages, and street parking options available in Salem. Parking is paid for hourly or daily depending on the lot, garage, or zone. Here is a website that lists parking area addresses and their fees: https://www.salem.org/travel-info/parking/
We are only requesting monetary gifts, but there will be a collection box set out for cards should you choose to bring one.
YES! We will have two signature cocktails, as well as beer, wine, and select liquor for ~free~ until 10 PM.
No. We are grazers by nature, so we will not be having a sit down dinner. However, there will be passed apps during the cocktail hour, and sliders, flatbreads, and snacky boards during the reception.
Many of our loved ones have various allergies and food preferences, so there will be vegetarian, gluten, and nut free options for those who require/prefer them.
Here is a website that includes links to places to stay within Salem: https://www.salem.org/places-to-stay/all/ In the nearby city of Peabody, MA, you can find larger chain hotels such as a Hilton, a Marriott, a Hampton Inn, and others.
Most notably, Boston Pride is on Saturday, June 14th, and Father's Day (and the Yankees/Red Sox game) is on Sunday, June 15th. However, there are many walking, boat, and bus tours in the area, as well as museums, shops, and art to fill your days in Salem however you please.
I don't know! I (Claudia) identify as a boomer, and don't really know how most technology works! If you copy and paste the addresses into your browser, though, you can get to the different web pages just the same.
Because! What's better than one side of the family traveling to a wedding? Both sides doing it!
