Travel

The Wedding Website of Emma Frizzell and Sam Shields
Sharing our recommendations for travel, transit, and accommodation for your trip to the Vineyard! Due to the ongoing pandemic, many people who had weddings planned for 2020 are postponing by a year and will be getting married around the same time as us. We want to make sure everyone has plenty of time to browse and secure travel and lodging options before the big day! With that in mind, we’ve put together some travel recommendations as well as a list of rental properties, hotels, etc. that are located close to our ceremony & reception venue.

Travel Note

Getting There! Taking the Ferry

From Boston or elsewhere in New England, you can drive your car, catch a bus, or get a car rental to the ferry terminal in Woods Hole. The ferry ride is 45 minutes long, and you can grab a cup of chowdah or a cold Bad Martha beer to enjoy while you take in the views! If you want to take a car over for the weekend, you must make a reservation in advance. Reservations for September 2021 are now available for booking! The ferries from Woods Hole bring you either to Vineyard Haven or to Oak Bluffs. For those not bringing a car, if you take a ferry to Vineyard Haven, you can get to the town in which you are staying by taxi, Uber, or by the MV bus system (very popular with visitors).

Flight

Boston Logan Airport (BOS)

Boston Logan is the closest major airport to Martha's Vineyard. From Logan you can catch a bus to the ferry, or pick up a rental car (or link up with other guests you know to carpool!). Connecting flights to MVY are also available from BOS and will get you there in under an hour!

Travel Note

Lodging

We highly recommend that you arrange to stay ON Martha’s Vineyard (as opposed to the mainland), as our reception will end after the last ferry runs from the island to the mainland. We’ve compiled a list of AirBnB stays available for our wedding weekend, as well as some recommendations for local hotels and bed & breakfasts. If you want to explore other options, note that our ceremony and reception will both take place in the town of Oak Bluffs.
