Travel Note

Travel Overview

We can't wait to welcome guests to this beautiful area and to celebrate with you! We know that accommodation in this corner of the world is not the most budget-friendly, and right from the start we have been focused on trying to make sure that we do what we can to ease the financial stress of attending. We've talked to many accommodation providers and have put together some suggestions below, but please do reach out to us if you're feeling stuck and don't think you can make it work, as we may have additional suggestions or ideas as our wedding plans progress.

Flight

La Guardia/JFK/Newark

Water Mill is relatively easy to get to from any of New York's airports, but will involve first getting from the airport to a LIRR station or Hampton Jitney stop. The easiest option is JFK, as you can take the Airtrain or a quick taxi/Uber to Jamaica station and then get the LIRR direct to Southampton (or other Hamptons stops) from there. See further train info below.

Train

Long Island Rail Road

Take the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) train (usually leaving from Penn Station, and requiring a change in Jamaica) on the Montauk Line to Southampton station (or whichever station is closest to your accommodation). We'll do as much picking up from the train as we can for people without cars, and Uber is usually available from there as well.

Hotel

Hamptons Vacation Inn (limited availability remaining!)

This is our #1 recommendation for lower priced small cottages and rooms, and they have set up a 15% discount code for our guests. Ideally, we will have enough of a concentration of guests here that we'll be able to offer a shuttle service to and from the wedding. If you have questions, contact Dayana at dayana@hamptonsvacationinn.com. Don't forget to use the code below when booking! (Note - not valid if booking through 3rd party sites like booking.com)

Discount Code - OliverandCatherine

Hotel

The Atlantic (no availability as at 24/3, but worth checking!)

A hotel that might be lacking in charm, but could be good for those who are happy to share space - they have various options that can accommodate multiple couples/individuals. There is another wedding group at the hotel on our weekend, but it's still possible to book individually. This hotel is directly on the route from Hamptons Vacation Inn (see above) to the wedding, so it's likely that a shuttle stop for guests will be possible here.

House Or Rental

Air BnBs

There are many Air BnB / Vrbo options in the area of varying fanciness and cost. If you'd like to organise to share one with other guests but you're not sure who is invited and still looking for accommodation, feel free to reach out to us and we'd love to connect you!

Hotel

Cedar Point County Park

For those who want that summer camp feeling (and chance to get dolled up in a campground toilet/shower block), Cedar Point offers camping, glamping, and golfing about a 25 minute drive from the wedding site. The booking process seems to be a little tricky, with camping bookings only possible within 180 days of arrival. Glamping tents can be booked through Air BnB without that time window restriction (https://www.airbnb.co.uk/users/show/253685471), but with additional fees. We will update this with further info and advice for bookings once we know more.

Hotel

Hamlet Inn

An option that's quite a bit pricier than the others, but very lovely and includes complementary beach passes.

Shuttle

Group Bus Hampton Bays <--> Wedding Location

September 6, 2025 3:00 pm

We are planning to offer (mini)bus transport from Hampton Bays to Water Mill before the ceremony, and back again at the end of the night. Please stay tuned for more details.
