Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
We love your little ones, but this is an adults-only celebration and we are unable to accommodate children other than immediate family.
Question
Parking?
Answer
Ceremony: There is some parking available at the church. Parking is limited, so we will be offering transportation from the Hyatt Place, Holiday Inn Express, and Residence Inn hotels in Mystic. If parking fills up at the church you'll be directed to park in an overflow grassy space on the church's property. Reception: There is plenty of parking at the Mystic Seaport Museum. If you decide to drive, you will want to park in the South Parking Lot at the Mystic Seaport Museum. Area, 50 CT-27, Mystic, CT 06355. The parking lot is across the street from a red tugboat. This is the closest parking lot to the entrance.

Answer
If you are driving to the ceremony we suggest arriving to park no later than 3:45pm. If parking fills up you'll be directed to park in an overflow space on the church's property, which may add a few extra minutes to your travel!
