Flight
Portland (PWM) is the major airport in Maine - however, it's 1 hr 45 mins from Belfast (where the wedding is and where we suggest staying). But Portland is an amazing city with plenty to do and lots to eat and drink (see 'things to do' page). We also suggest taking the long way from Belfast to Portland and making a day out of the picturesque New England towns of Midcoast Maine (an itinerary for that is in 'things to do' too). Augusta (AUG) and Bangor (BGR) are both about 50 mins away from Belfast. Both are small airports and you'll likely have to go through Boston to get there. From Boston, you'll take a small 12 passenger plane - which is a pretty amazing experience if you've never taken one. You'll fly close to the ground and follow the coast line up to Augusta.

Bed and Breakfast that is only 5 minutes out of town and 5 minutes from the wedding and reception by car. It's a bit less expensive than the Jewel Turrett and Alden House, but you can't walk to the wedding or reception from here. There are 4 rooms in the whole place, and if you want to rent out all 4, we can get a discount.
Rental Car
There is no public transportation or Uber/Lyft in Maine (except for in Portland). So you'll either need to rent a car or get picked up from the airport. There are private bus routes from Portland, Augusta, and Bangor to Belfast. If you need help with this, please let us know!

The vow renewal and ceremony is in Belfast, Maine. When searching for a place to stay, look in and around Belfast. Camden, Northport, Lincolnville, Lincolnville Beach, and Searsport are all great options within 10-20 mins of Belfast. Camden harbor has great food and shopping and is an international destination for sailers and yachting. Rockland is a little further away (40 mins) but is one of our favorite towns to visit - home of the famous annual Maine Lobster Festival with a lively art, food, and cultural scene. If you're looking for a lakeside retreat in the woods, try the little towns in the area like Searsmont, Appleton, Liberty, and Freedom.
