Question

Is there parking for the ceremony, reception, and after-party?

Answer

Ceremony Parking: Parking is available on the side of the Church for the duration of the ceremony. Please make sure to move your car to reception after the ceremony. Reception Parking: Due to a recent change in the parking policy at Mission Boat House, the parking lot now only allows a maximum of 3 hours per vehicle. Here are a few options for parking during the celebration: Mission Boat House Lot: Park here initially, then move your car to a different spot after 3 hours. You should only need to move your car once. Street Parking on Front Street: There is ample street parking nearby, especially on Front Street. Front Street is a one-way street with additional parking options available nearby. Long-Term Metered Parking (Beverly Harbormaster - 11 Cabot street): For long-term metered parking, after crossing the Essex Bridge, follow these directions: Turn left onto Goat Hill Lane. Take a left onto Summit Avenue. Bear right onto Congress Street. Take a quick left onto Cabot Street, then continue under the overpass. *If you would like a detailed map, please text Kelsey or Erik on Thursday or Friday. After-party: Parking is available at the Pickering Wharf lot on Congress Street or at the City of Salem's South Harbor Parking Garage. The hotel parking lot is for overnight guests.

Question

Is there transportation?

Answer

There will be no transportation from the Salem Waterfront Hotel to the Church as it is walking distance. Walk out the front door of the hotel, turn right and continue on Hawthorne Blvd till you reach the Church. If you choose not to drive, transportation will be provided from the ceremony to the reception and from the reception to the after-party. Please be patient as the vans may need to take a couple of trips.
