FAQs

Question

Where is the wedding taking place?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will be held at Peirce Farm at Witch Hill in Topsfield, MA. The address is 116 Boston St, Topsfield, MA 01983. Topsfield is about 30 miles north of Boston and 10 miles from Salem, our home base for the weekend.

Question

What time is the ceremony? What time is the reception?

Answer

The ceremony will start at 5:00 pm. Shuttles from the hotels will get you to the venue on time, but if you're driving please plan on arriving 15-30 minutes early so you have time to park and grab a seat. The cocktail hour will immediately follow the ceremony. Dinner will be served around 7:00 pm and guests are encouraged to dance with us until our last song ends at 10:30 pm.

Question

What is the dress code? What should I wear?

Answer

We are encouraging guests to wear dressy-casual or semi-formal attire. For women this might mean a nice cocktail dress, day dress, or dressy separates/pantsuit. Part of the event may be outside on grass, so take that into consideration when choosing shoes. Men can wear a business suit or a dress shirt and slacks - a tie is optional. Most importantly, though, we want you to be comfortable so wear what suits you!

Question

What weather should I expect?

Answer

That's a really great question, but hard to answer! April is generally cool, but temperatures could realistically be anywhere from 40-70 degrees. Rain isn't out of the question, but we hope we won't see any snow this late in the year... Even though we will be inside most of the evening, plan on bringing at least a light jacket.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

If the weather allows, the ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors, while the reception will take place inside. In the case of cold temperatures or rain, everything will be held indoors.

Question

What should I expect after the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony and reception are being held at the same location. Because of this, the party can start immediately after the ceremony concludes!

Question

Will transportation be provided? Is there easy parking at the venue?

Answer

Yes, transportation will be provided between the Hampton Inn in Salem, the Marriott in Peabody, and the venue. The shuttles will leave the hotels for the ceremony at 4:10 pm. There is also parking at the venue for those who prefer to drive. If you will be drinking, we highly encourage you to utilize the shuttle or take an Uber back your destination.

Question

Question

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?
