FAQs
Question
Will transportation be provided?
Answer
We are working to set up a shuttle to and from the venue. Our current pick-up hubs are Downtown Northampton and the Homewood Suites by Hilton Hadley Amherst (link under Travel & Accommodations). We will follow up with attendees to check in about travel and lodging plans and will do our best to coordinate the shuttles to support as many of our guests as possible. For those who fall outside the shuttle's pick-up and drop-off zone, we will have Uber vouchers available for your use. There is also ample free parking at our ceremony and reception locations.
Question
How do I get to The Sanctuary?
Answer
Upon arrival to Look Park, proceed through the entry gates. If arriving by car, notify the attendant that you're attending a wedding to have the admission fee waived. Our ceremony will be at The Sanctuary at Willow Lake, which can be found by following the road (it's a loop) until you see The Sanctuary. Reserved parking will be marked by signage. You can also bear right upon entry (prior to admission gate) to park at The Garden House and make the 10-minute walk to (and from) The Sanctuary.
Question
How do I get to The Garden House?
Answer
After our ceremony, cars may proceed along the loop, bearing left into The Garden House parking lot prior to exiting the park. Those looking to soak in some nature may make the scenic 10-minute walk along the path back to The Garden House.
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
We are looking forward to hosting our wedding during a beautiful time of year in New England! Temperatures for this time of the year are on average 80s-60s, so we plan to enjoy a comfortable outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, then move indoors for dinner and dancing.
Question
What is Garden Party Cocktail?
Answer
We encourage guests to dress up and have fun with their attire. If you're more of a visual person, we recommend googling "garden party cocktail attire" for some ideas! The pathway to our ceremony includes a short section through grass, so please be mindful if you're wearing heels.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we love your little ones, our wedding events are going to be adults-only so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time so you can celebrate with us, but also understand if a trip without children is not possible for every family.
