Another airport option is Boston Logan. It is about 2 hours drive away from the venue, with tolls. However, Boston is a wonderful city if you would like to get a little vacation in before or after the wedding. Public transit options: the FREE Silver Line 1 bus will take you to Boston South Station, where you could look into reserving an Amtrak train to Springfield. The train ride would be several hours, and are not available at all hours of the day so please check in advance if this is the route you would like to take!
