Question
I am flying in from out of town and were thinking of sticking around after the wedding, are you two working the next week?
Answer
We are taking off work the week following the wedding to spend time with friends and family, and just enjoy our newlywed life for a bit before we go back to the office. Feel free to let us know if you will be staying in Watertown or Boston the week after the wedding, as we are hoping to plan some events around the area.
Question
How do I get from Logan International Airport to Groton?
Answer
The ride is roughly an hour if you choose to rent a car. We suggest either renting a car or carpooling with wedding guests as some of you know one another. There is free parking at the Inn. Public transportation is available but it will not get you all the way to Groton. You would need a ride share (ie Uber, Lyft, etc)
Question
Is there an open bar at the wedding?
Answer
We have decided on a cash bar, so alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase!
Question
What about the weather?
Answer
Weather in May in New England varies but we're hoping for sunny weather in the 60's. The ceremony will take place outside in The Groton Inn courtyard in front of the fireplace. The cocktail hour will also take place outside at the end of the courtyard, where our wedding musicians will play and appetizers will be served. Guests will also have access to an inside room called The Keep, as well as the covered front porch, during cocktail hour. The reception will take place indoors in The Prescott Room, where dinner and dancing will occur.
