We are at capacity with our venue which means we are sadly unable to accommodate additional guests. We look forward to celebrating with you on the day!

We'd love to see our family and friends dress up with us! We are requesting formal attire for our wedding. Ladies-Pierce House has primarily brick-paved areas with the ceremony taking place in the grass, so please plan your footwear accordingly. This goes without saying, but please no white dresses, sneakers, or jeans.
There are about 75 available parking spots at the venue but we will have shuttles from the hotels listed as designated hotel blocks.
Shuttles will pick up guests from both the Courtyard Inn-Waltham and the Westin Waltham started at 3 pm to Pierce House. Shuttles will also pick up guests from the venue starting at 10 pm and will make a stop at the Copper House Tavern (for the after-party) , and will make a final drop off at the Westin Waltham. Copper House Tavern is right across the street from the Courtyard Inn. Transportation to the Rehearsal Dinner will be the guests' responsibility, but please let us know if you need any help finding a way to get there!
