Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to the ceremony, we do not want anyone to miss the ceremony but due to a strict schedule we cannot accomodate late guests.

Question

Can I park at the Venue?

Answer

There will be plenty of parking at both the church and reception venue. You can also leave your car at the venue overnight as long as it is picked up by 3pm the next day.

Question

Is the boat cruise at the same location as the reception?

Answer

YES! After the ceremony at St. Paul please make your way to the Cruiseport, 6 Rowe Square in Gloucester, MA. This is where you will park for the reception and the boat will take off and return from this location.

Question

Is there any transportation provided?

Answer

There will be transportation provided after the reception starting at 10:45 PM that makes a stop at the Minglewood Restaurant and the Cape Ann Marina. Guests are responsible for getting to and from the church as well as home from the after party. We recommend scheduling ubers in advance if possible.

Question

What if I get seasick?

Answer

Any guest who does not wish to be on the boat cruise is welcome to stay at the Cruiseport during cocktail hour. The boat does not leave the harbor so you are unlikely to get seasick, but if you have any concerns please reach out to someone in the bridal party prior to the wedding!

Question

Can I bring a date or my kids?

Answer

Due to church and venue capacities we are bound to a tight guest list. We respectfully ask you to bring only the guests included on your invitation.
