FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! We would appreciate our guests dressing in garden party formal attire -- Long dresses and suits encouraged, think elegant and summery but not black tie. What does that mean? If Audrey were a guest, she would wear a floor-length, colorful dress (though black is also timeless and perfectly appropriate). If Carson was a guest, he would wear a lightweight suit.
Question
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Weather permitting, the ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors at the Estate at Moraine Farm, followed by dinner and dancing inside the tent.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Please arrive by 5 PM to ensure you don't miss any of the action! While the ceremony starts at 5:30, we welcome early arrivers to wander the grounds and explore the gardens.
Question
What's the best way to get there?
Answer
The Estate at Moraine Farm is located in Beverly, MA — about 30–40 minutes north of Boston. Most guests will be staying at the Wylie Inn or in Salem — both within ~15 minutes of the venue. Rideshares (Uber/Lyft) are easily available in the area, and we will also have shuttles departing from the Hawthorne Hotel (Salem) & Wylie Inn (Beverly). When the night (sadly) does come to a close, we recommend taking a shuttle back to Salem or scheduling a taxi in advance, as rideshares have a difficult time finding our venue.
Question
Will transportation be provided?
Answer
Yes! We will be providing multiple buses from the Hawthorne Hotel (Salem) and the Wylie Inn (Beverly). When the night (sadly) does come to a close, we recommend taking a shuttle back to Salem or scheduling a taxi in advance, as rideshares have a difficult time finding our venue.
Question
Can I park at the venue?
Answer
Yes. Our venue has ample parking for all guests. However, if you plan to drink, we recommend taking a shuttle or ridesharing instead.
Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
We kindly ask that you refer to your invitation to see if a plus one was included.
Question
Are children invited?
Answer
We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only celebration.
Question
What's the weather like in August?
Answer
Warm and breezy! Daytime highs are typically in the mid-70s to 80s, with the potential for cooler evenings. We recommend bringing a light jacket or wrap.
Question
What should I do in the area?
Answer
There’s plenty to explore nearby! Salem’s witchy charm, Marblehead’s seaside beauty, and several North Shore beaches are all minutes away. Check out our Things to Do page for our favorite local spots.
Question
Is the venue accessible?
Answer
Yes. The Estate at Moraine Farm has accessible parking and facilities. Please reach out if you need additional accommodations.
Question
Will there be an after party?
Answer
We’ll see you at the arcade! Formal festivities end around 11PM, but we’re planning to keep the celebration going nearby at Bit Bar in Salem. The bar is 1 block from many of Salem's hotels and a quick Uber ride from Beverly.
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We’re asking guests to keep phones tucked away so you can be fully present with us. We promise we’ll share the professional photos soon!
Question
Most importantly, will there be an open bar?
Answer
Of course. We can’t wait to toast with you — signature cocktails included!
