THINGS TO DO
Salem
Salem is super close to the venue and an easy place to spend a few hours. The downtown area is very walkable with cute shops, coffee spots, and lots of history. It’s a fun place to stroll around and soak up the classic New England vibes.
Peabody Essex Museum
If you want something easy and relaxed, this museum is a great option. It’s modern, not overwhelming, and has a mix of art and cultural exhibits — perfect for a chill afternoon before (or after) wedding events.
Salem Willows Park
This is a laid-back waterfront spot with ocean views, walking paths, and casual food. It’s perfect if you just want fresh air, a little walk, or somewhere relaxing to hang out with family between events.
Boston
If you’re in town for a few extra days, Boston is an easy drive or train ride away. You can walk the Freedom Trail, explore the North End for amazing food, or just wander around the city for the day.
