Things To Do
Hammond Castle
If you’re in the mood for something unexpected, head to Hammond Castle—a full-on castle perched on the Gloucester waterfront.
Motif #1
Head over to Rockport to see Motif #1, the most painted (and iconic) red fishing shack around. It’s charming, coastal, and basically begging to be in your camera roll.
True North Ale Company
If you're looking for great vibes and even better beer, head to True North in Ipswich—one of Lee and Zach’s favorite breweries to visit. Bonus: you might even spot our wedding reception caterer, who has a permanent food truck parked right on site :)
Crane Estate
For even more castle-y views, check out the Crane Estate in Ipswich—a stunning hilltop property overlooking Crane Beach. It may look familiar… Lee and Zach took their engagement photos here, and you’ll spot them throughout our website.
Salem
If you feel like channeling your inner witch (or just want a great selfie), Salem’s the place. It’s close by, full of charm, and only mildly haunted. Plus, it's the same as it is during Halloween except you avoid the crowds.
REV Kitchen & Bar
If you're looking for a great place to eat, check out Rev Kitchen + Bar in Beverly. It’s one of Lee and Zach’s go-to spots (they’re there more often than they’d like to admit), and truly—you can’t go wrong. From the bowls to the pizza, everything is amazing. Pro tip: the crazy bread appetizer can be ordered as a full pizza… you just have to ask!
