Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the ceremony start time. Due to our wedding falling on a Friday, there may be traffic. Onsite parking is extremely limited due to the school next door, so be prepared to park and walk several minutes! We will be starting on time as this is a traditional ceremony that will last ~an hour.
For the ceremony, there are plenty of street parking options to pick from- Pond, Auburn, Green, State, Harris, Pleasant, and Washington to name several. Green Street Parking lot (2 Unicorn St) and Newburyport Intermodal Parking Garage (2 Titcomb St) are both a 5-minute walk from the church. Rideshares are always an option for people who don't want to worry about parking! For the reception, Willowdale Estate has 65 parking spots. If you prefer to drive, we recommend carpooling. If we have a handful of cars left overnight... totally fine, just pick up before 11 am. We encourage everyone to take advantage of the open bar and schedule rideshares like Uber and Lyft in advance. We will provide transportation to and from Willowdale for those staying overnight at the DoubleTree in Danvers. Please let us know in advance if you plan to use our transportation so we can schedule accordingly! Check back for pickup times.
Our dress code is black-tie optional- tux or dark suit with a tie, floor-length gown, or midi/tea length dress. We want our guests to feel inspired by the fall season, garden and estate ambiance! Cocktail hour will be inside the mansion, after, we will move outside into a sailcloth tent with heaters. If you run cold, we suggest bringing a pashmina or sweater to throw over the shoulders. Please check the weather in advance.
We love your little ones, but our wedding is going to be an adults-only event. Please enjoy the date night and open bar!
