Question

Is there a room block?

Answer

Question

The hotel says there are no more rooms under the hotel block.

Answer

This means we need to add more rooms to the block. Please contact us so that we may do so. If you're trying to book after October 4th, 2022, then the hotel block is no longer being reserved at the group rate and you will need to book through the hotel directly at the current market rate.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Guests are encouraged to take advantage of the many available ridesharing or local taxi options to get to the venue. If they are staying at one of the hotel room blocks, we are offering Uber/Lyft vouchers for rides from these locations. Please allow for enough time as it will be a Friday afternoon! Post-reception transportation will be provided from the venue to all hotels listed on 'Travel & Lodging'.

Question

How do I redeem the Uber/Lyft ridesharing vouchers?

Answer

1. Download Uber/Lyft app 2. Open promo code payment section (Uber: 'Vouchers', Lyft: 'Lyft Pass') 3. Enter promo code (Uber: rIJKqhIXNeb, Lyft: MAXANDSHELBY) 4. Request Ride Note: Promo codes may only be used for transportation to Oceanview from the four hotel blocks.

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

There is free parking at the venue, but please keep in mind the parking lot is also shared with a golf course. We highly encourage you to take advantage of the transportation provided or Uber/Lyft. If you do choose to drive to the venue, cars can be left overnight until noon the following day (11/5).

Question

What time should I arrive at the venue?

Answer

Guests should plan to arrive no later than 5:15 pm so the ceremony can start on time at 5:30 pm.

Question

What is the ceremony and reception venue like?

Answer

Our ceremony and reception will be held at the same venue along a rocky beach. You may want to bring a jacket or coat with you as it could be chilly and windy along the water, and you will want to consider your footwear with the rocks. The ceremony will be held in a heated tent with a short walk to the cocktail hour/reception location indoors. There are outdoor areas to enjoy if weather permits.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

While New England weather is quite unpredictable, the average historic temperature in Nahant on November 4th is a high of 56° F and a low of 43° F. Both the ceremony and reception are heated spaces.

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

Answer

We ask for you to please be mindful during the ceremony and put away all devices. Take as many pictures as you like before and during the reception.

Question

Will alcohol be served?

Answer

Yes, we are offering an open bar during Cocktail Hour and the Reception. Bringing cash to tip the bartenders is appreciated. Please bring your ID if you plan to drink alcohol, as the venue may only legally serve guests over 21 years of age.
