7:00 pm
Weddings are busy. There are a lot of people to greet without much time to chat. But we'd love to see you for some extended quality time! If you're in town, come join for a more relaxed time of hanging out so we can soak in your company. We'll have a fire at Singing Beach in Manchester (or we'll crash at Backbeat Brewing in Beverly if it's rainy). We aren't providing food, but you're welcome to bring your own snacks or things to roast. PLEASE NO ALCOHOL! It is illegal to drink on the beach, and the local police routinely patrol the area. We would hate for this event to be shut down because someone brought alcohol. You can always go out for drinks afterwards, and if Noah and Anne are up for it we'll join!
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Please wear what is comfortable for you within the range of cocktail (button downs and sundresses) to semi-formal (suit and gown). Per tradition, let's make sure the bride is the only one in white.
A parking map is posted on our FAQ page. Parking spots are up to 0.2 miles away from the chapel, so please arrive with plenty of time to seat yourself before 3 PM. If you are young and spry, please try to leave closer parking available for older guests and family. With friends and family across the country, there's quite some variability in our expected numbers! If the Chapel becomes too packed, we may ask children to play in the chapel yard with a designated supervisor during the ceremony.
4:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Let's party! A cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres will be followed by an Italian buffet dinner and dancing. A cash bar will be available throughout cocktail hour and dinner.
