Of course! We’d love to have them! But we also understand given that the pandemic hasn't fully gone away if you'd rather have a child free evening.
It is advisable that you rent a car if you are flying in from out of town. Boston or Providence airports are 1.5 hours and 45-ish minutes, respectively, while the Worcester airport is 20-30 minutes away from the reception venue. Please note that if you are coming from Boston, you will most likely be tolled. MA tolling is now bill by plate.
Stay in Worcester if you want to be closer to local restaurants, shops, and nightlife. Auburn has many chain stores and restaurants and a quieter nightlife, if that's more your speed. Auburn is also closer to where the events are taking place.
Each event has ample parking and any hotel you stay at should have free parking as well but you might want to double check if you plan to stay in Worcester. Parking at the Point Breeze Restaurant is free.
