Invitations will be sent out in May. Once you receive your invite, please RSVP as soon as possible. Please RSVP by July 15th, 2025. You can RSVP on this website under the "RSVP" tab at the top of the page!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Unfortunately, there is a limit on the guests we can invite and cannot accommodate a plus one for everyone. You invite will specify if you can bring a plus one. If you feel we left out someone important, please let us know, but understand that our limitations may mean our hands are tied.

Answer

Dress Code: Semi-Formal For the ladies - Jump Suit, Pant Suit, Blouse & Skirt, or Dress (preferably below the knee). For the men - Khakis, Collared Shirt & Sport/Suit Jacket or Suit. White Shirts are OK. No jeans. For anyone who doesn't conform to gender norms - Pantsuit, Jumpsuit, Collared Shirt & Khakis, Blouse & Skirt, or Dress (preferably below the knee). Really any nice (fancy-ish) outfit you feel most comfortable in. No Jeans.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

The weather will be cool 40-70 degrees and may be windy! The leaves on the trees should be changing colors (hopefully it will be peak weekend!). The ceremony will take place outside (unless it rains) but the reception and cocktail hour will be inside.

Question

Where is the Wedding Ceremony and Reception?

Answer

3001 Outdoor Ctr Rd, Carrabassett Valley, ME 04947

Question

When should I get there?

Answer

We invite all guests to come to our Welcome Celebration on Friday, October 3rd. Please refer to the "Schedule" tab for the time and location. We understand some people may arrive on Saturday, October 4th. The ceremony will start promptly at 4:15pm. You are welcome to arrive at the venue as early as 3:45pm. We recommend you arrive by 4:00pm in order to give you time to find a seat.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

Please reference the "Travel" tab for more information on where to stay. There is a 10-15% off discount for our wedding guests at the Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel. There are also many AirBnBs and VRBO rentals available. There will be a shuttle all night from the Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel to and from the venue on the night of the wedding. The shuttle will not be able to drop you off at an AirBnB or VBRO rental.

Question

Will there be transportation to the venue from the hotel?

Answer

Yes! We will have a shuttle running from the hotel 30-45 minutes before the ceremony to 30 minutes after the reception ends. The ceremony and the reception are at the same place.

Question

Will alcohol be served?

Answer

Yes! We are having an open bar, beer and wine only. Cocktails will be available for purchase. If you are drinking, we recommend you take advantage of the shuttle we will have running from the hotel to/from the venue.

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

We have been living with each other for about two years and are fortunate enough to have everything we need to furnish and decorate our apartment. However, if you would like to contribute a gift, we've opted to set up a honeymoon fund through HoneyFund. We can’t wait to head off on the vacation of our lifetime and we’ll be sharing lots of photos!

Question

I am flying, where is the closest airport?

Answer

The closest airpot is Portland, ME (PWM). It is a 2.5 hour drive from Portland to Sugarloaf. Flights may be cheaper if you fly into Boston, MA (BOS). It is a 4 hour drive from Boston to Sugarloaf. We highly recommend renting a car as there is no public transportation directly to Sugarloaf.
