Please RSVP no later than May 20, 2024.
We suggest semi-formal or garden party attire, but please wear what makes you feel best and lets you party all night! Much of the event will be outside and the mansion is not air-conditioned - so be sure to plan accordingly. However, being right on the Sound in June can often mean chillier sea breezes in the evening. We recommend bringing a light extra layer!
Yes! A school bus will pick up our guests who are staying at the Mystic Marriott and the SpringHill Suites. Please indicate if you plan to use the shuttle when you RSVP. After the reception, a shuttle bus will take guests to the hotels OR our afterparty. **Please note that transportation will not be provided from the afterparty back to your accommodation. We encourage you to pre-book an Uber/Lyft if you plan to attend our afterparty.
If you would prefer to drive yourself, our venue has reserved parking for our guests in the Harkness Memorial Park lot. You can park in the first and second row in the public parking lot, and then make your way over to the amphitheater for the ceremony!
Due to the maximum capacity set by our venue, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. This will be reflected when you locate your name on our RSVP page. We appreciate your understanding.
We love your kiddos! However, due to limited space, this will be an adults-only event. We hope you look forward to enjoying a date night on us!
Weather pending, our ceremony will take place outdoors at the amphitheater. You are welcome to explore the gardens during our cocktail hour or hang out under our venue tent. We will congregate in the mansion for dinner and dancing will take place under the tent on the terrace.
We have reserved blocks of rooms at two area hotels for our guests. To view the rates, photos, and amenities, please visit the link on our Travel page. Please note that in order to receive the block rate, you must book a room by May 21, 2024.
