FAQs

The Wedding Website of Madeline Damboise and Steven Schoppmann
Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

Due to the limited parking spaces being utilized for our vendors, there will be no parking options available. We recommend taking our coach busses to and from the ceremony! For questions regarding parking/transportation, please call Shauna at (207) 939-8230.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We would love for you to channel Formal with a coastal twist! We encourage you to wear your finest attire, but don't forget to embrace the laid-back charm of the beach. For Women: Flowing maxi dresses in light and airy fabrics like chiffon or linen are perfect. Think jewel tones, or pastel hues. Cocktail dresses in elegant colors and prints are also a great option. Flats, block heels, or wedges are ideal footwear for navigating the sand and grass. For Men: Light-colored suits or separates in breathable fabrics are a cool and sophisticated choice. Button-down shirts with or without a tie are both lovely. Chinos or dress pants (no jeans, please) Loafers or boat shoes are perfect footwear for the occasion. Imagine a vibrant tapestry of colors and personalities, all gathered to celebrate our love! We adore your personal style and can't wait to see how you weave your own magic into the wedding day with your dazzling attire. Just bring your beautiful selves and let's paint the venue with joy! Note to remember- our wedding ceremony will be outside on the coast in Maine so it can be anything from a heatwave to wicked windy! Coastal evenings can get chilly, so bring a stylish jacket, shawl, or pashmina to keep warm.

Question

What time should I arrive for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

We would love to have you come to enjoy the coast and the beachy surroundings by 3:45 pm. There is no parking on the property where the ceremony will be held. For our guest's convenience, two coach busses will be leaving at 3:30 pm from the Portland Lobster Company.

Question

How do we get to the wedding venue from our accommodations?

Answer

We will have two shuttle buses departing from the Old Port in Portland to bring our out-of-town guests staying at accommodations in town. Pick-up will be at 3:30 pm in front of Portland Lobster Company - 180 Commercial Street, Portland, Maine.

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

To give our guests the opportunity to enjoy without worrying about little ones, we politely request an adults-only wedding.

Question

Can I bring a 'Plus one'?

Answer

Due to limited venue capacity, we are truly unable to accommodate your plus one at our wedding. We will only be able to accommodate the guests formally invited on your invitation.

Question

I have a food allergy. Can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes, of course! Please let us know of any allergies/dietary restrictions by either texting us, noting specifics in the space provided when replying online, or writing the details on the back of your RSVP card (if included).

Question

How do I get to Maine?

Answer

If you are flying, We recommend flying into Portland International Jetport (PWM). Pro tip: Fly to Portland, ME, not Portland, OR! If you are driving, Head North on Interstate 95. Portland is roughly 50 miles from the New Hampshire border.

Question

Do I need a rental car?

Answer

It depends! How long are you staying? Are you trying to explore the greater Portland area? Then renting a car is the best way to get out and see sights like Portland Head Light and visit L. L. Bean in Freeport. BUT, if you are going to be staying in downtown Portland, you do not need to rent a car. It will be pretty easy to Uber/Lyft/taxi from the airport to downtown Portland (about a 10 minute drive)

Question

Where should we stay?

Answer

We HIGHLY recommend booking accommodations early! Summertime is Portland's peak tourist months, and hotel prices will only go up! Please see recommendations on the travel page. Also, check out Airbnb and VRBO for options on Pine Point Beach, Maine in Scarborough if you are wanting to walk to and from the wedding via the coastal route!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please let us know no later than May 14th, 2024
