Yes. Everything on the wedding day will take place at the same venue.
Yes. Complimentary valet parking is available for wedding guests. Overnight parking is $15/night. If you prefer self-parking, the town has a public meter lot across the street.
We don't have a strict dress code for the ceremony and reception but would love for everyone to have this night as an excuse to dress up! You’re welcome to wear semi-formal/cocktail attire. The venue is on an oceanfront that can get chilly at night - we recommend bringing a shawl or a light jacket.
We wish we could welcome everyone, however we can only plan to accommodate those listed on the formal invitations.
List any allergies on the RSVP response and we'll work with the venue on menus.
Yes! Our wedding venue is a hotel and is offering our guests a discount until August 11th for any "Yamazaki/Smith" wedding guests looking to stay overnight on Friday. We have listed a few other local hotels nearby with different price ranges on our "Travel" page as well. There are Airbnbs and VRBO listings in Gloucester as well. If you'd like to stay at our venue, please call them directly and mention Yamazaki/Smith when booking to get the discount. Online booking isn't available over our dates. We highly recommend booking sooner rather than later as September is busy season for Gloucester. If you are traveling from outside the USA before our wedding, we will have some room blocks set up for you in Boston and Stoneham as well.
You will be missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “no” on the formal invitations so we can plan accordingly.
Please RSVP online through this website by August 25th. If you have any questions before submitting your RSVP, feel free to text one of us.
