Question

What Covid precautions are in place?

Answer

Let's ge the big one out of the way first! We want to make this event as safe as possible for the health of our loved ones. This is why we are asking that all adults are fully vaccinated for the event AND that people please take an at-home covid test on the morning of the wedding. We will have some covid tests available at the venue, but we recommend taking one beforehand so that you can get to celebrating right away! The wedding ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors, while dinner and dancing will take place inside the barn. The barn has high ceilings and can comfortably fit about 225 people and we are expecting 130 guests. The barn windows and at least some of the barn doors will remain open for the entirety of the event to allow airflow. We would also recommend asking for consent before offering hugs, as not everyone will feel safe or comfortable sharing a close proximity during these pandemic times. Finally, while it is not required, you are welcome to wear a mask!

Question

Where will the wedding take place?

Answer

All wedding events will take place at Beech Ridge Barn in Scarborough, Maine! 21 Beech Ridge Rd, Scarborough, ME 04074

Question

How do I get to and from the wedding venue?

Answer

If you RSVP'd that you are bringing your own car, you are welcome to drive to the event and park at the venue. If possible, we recommend arranging a carpool as parking will be limited (about 60 spots). If you are staying at the Merry Manor Inn, a shuttle will bring you to and from the wedding (more info under "Travel"). If you would like to take advantage of the shuttle but are not staying at the Merry Manor Inn, simply show up at the hotel in time for the 2pm pick-up to utilize the shuttle service. The shuttle will depart the venue once at 8:30pm and once at 10:30pm. We DO NOT recommend relying on cabs or uber to get to and from the event - they can be a bit unpredictable in the summertime.
