FAQs

Question

How do I RSVP without a paper invite?

Answer

We’re aiming to be as eco-friendly as possible, so we appreciate you using the link in your email invite or using the RSVP tab above to respond online.

Question

What is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Please RSVP by March 31st.

Question

Oh no! I can’t make it. Will you still love me?

Answer

Of course! We would love to have you join us but we understand it’s a tricky time of year and a far-off land for most. Please do what’s best for you and your family, and we look forward to seeing you when we can.

Question

What is the easiest way to get to and from the wedding?

Answer

You can find this information on our Lodging & Travel page.

Question

Is there parking available at the venue?

Answer

There will be limited parking available at Sweet Pea’s. Most of the lodging we’ve suggested on our Lodging & Travel page is intentionally walkable. We’ve also suggested a taxi service that you can try, but know that Ubers and Lyfts aren’t readily available on Mount Desert Island. If you must drive, please carpool and designate a driver. Maine Drinking & Driving laws are VERY strict and everyone (including the venue and the bartender) will get in trouble if you get pulled over (or worse). Don’t do it.

Question

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors? What will the weather be like?

Answer

Pre-Memorial Day is a magical time to be in Acadia. Spring is springing and the hoards haven’t yet arrived. That being said, the wedding will be outside (with a tent) and the weather could go any which way. It could be chilly and rainy; it could be 65 and sunny. While we’ll hope for the latter, please be prepared for anything! Bring comfy, warm, waterproof clothes and shoes for the weekend and the wedding.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

See the previous question! Our wedding will take place in a beautiful garden/field, so we’re going for ‘semi-fancy garden party’ – look your best but be comfortable! But if it happens to be rainy and cold, you’ll probably appreciate boots, scarves, etc. And of course, sparkles and boogie shoes highly encouraged. Either way, avoid stilettos and any type of pointy heel; you won't have a good time in the grass.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Not unless they were listed on your invite. Thanks for understanding!

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

We love your kids, and they are welcome if it’s right for you. Many of our parent-friends/family members are opting for a date weekend away. Others have newborns and they come as a package. Long story short, we'll leave the decision up to you. Please note whether you plan to bring your child(ren) on your RSVP!

Question

Can I bring my dog?

Answer

We love your dogs, but sadly, they are not invited to the wedding. That being said, Acadia is one of the only dog-friendly National Parks in the country! So if you do want to bring them, you’ll have to check with your accommodations. And if you want to board them for any part of the weekend, we’ve had good luck with Acadia Woods Kennel (linked on our Tips & To-Dos page).

Question

Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?

Answer

No. Please check out the Lodging & Travel page for some options nearby (many within walking distance or a short drive). Bar Harbor/Acadia accommodations can fill up quickly, so we highly recommend booking your stay as soon as you know if you’re able to join us.

Question

Will there be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?

Answer

Please note any dietary restrictions or allergies in your RSVP and Sweet Pea’s will do its best to accommodate.

Question

How can I see puffins while I’m in Acadia??

Answer

Great question. A couple years ago on the same weekend, we went on a puffin tour and nailed the timing of their arrival to Maine. It was awesome. We recommend the Puffins & Lighthouses tour with Acadian Boat Tours.

Question

Will Max & Maddie be there?

Answer

Oh yeah.

Question

Is it gonna be awesome?

Answer

You better believe it.

Question
