See the "Travel" section of the website for information on hotels. We highly recommend booking at the Fairfield Inn and Suites New Bedford as it is located directly across the street from our venue! The Hampton Inn New Bedford/Fairhaven is also a good option.
All wedding day events including the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will be in the same place at Merrill's on the Waterfront in New Bedford, MA! We will be renting out the entire restaurant for the evening and will be hosting all wedding day events there.
Please arrive to the ceremony at Merrill's at 5pm. Summer traffic in the area and surrounding areas can be crazy, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time!
All wedding events will be held inside during the August heat, with the option to enjoy the restaurant's many waterfront decks and outdoor spaces throughout the evening!
Cocktail attire, so dressy, but not black-tie. Think elevated evening wear that’s stylish and polished without being too formal! For ladies a cocktail dress, midi or maxi dress, or a jumpsuit is perfect (feel free to lean into a Coastal Cocktail vibe!). For men, a suit or blazer with dress pants and a button-up shirt is great. Just a shirt and tie works too!
