Travel and Accommodations

There are 3 airports to choose from. The largest is in Portland and the closest is Augusta. Bangor is also an option. The wedding is in Belfast, where we recommend you stay. Portland is 1 hr and 45 minutes drive away, but it's also one of our favorite cities in America (see things to do #1) and the scenic drive to Belfast is worth a day trip (things to do #6). If you fly, you'll need a car, take a bus, or to arrange someone to pick you up - there is no Uber/Lyft outside of the Portland area. Flights often route through New York or Boston - and if you're flying to Augusta from Boston, you'll take a tiny 12 passenger plane that flies close to the ground and you can watch the amazing views of the New England coast line along the way (but not great for those afraid of heights - go to Portland instead). . We've blocked rooms at the Fireside Inn and Suites and the Belfast Harbor Inn. AirBnb has lots of cabins to rent on lakes in the area, and bed and breakfasts are plentiful.

Flight

Portland (PWM), Bangor (BGR) or Augusta (AUG)

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.

Rental Car

Rent your Car from the Airport

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!

Hotel

Air BnB

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.
