Portland, Maine, USA

By air

Portland International Jetport (PWM) is 10-15 minutes from downtown, with rideshares and taxis readily available right outside baggage claim.

Alternatively, if you fly into Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), you can rent a car for the two-hour drive north or catch a direct bus straight into town.

By car

Follow I-95 North into Maine and take I-295 for direct access to downtown Portland. The drive takes roughly two hours from Boston or five hours from New York City (but beware of summer weekend traffic).

By bus

Concord Coach Lines is a comfortable, budget-friendly option that runs hourly straight to the Portland Transportation Center from Boston Logan Airport, Boston South Station, and NYC.

By train

The Amtrak Downeaster is a smooth, scenic choice if you’re coming from Massachusetts, coastal New Hampshire, or Maine. It runs daily round trips from Boston's North Station to the Portland Transportation Center.

For large groups of friends and families, consider looking into VRBO or Airbnb for your stay. If you won’t have a car, it will be best to stay closer to downtown on the peninsula.

The following hotels are great options within 15 minutes walking distance of our venue, the historic Grace church:

• Residence Inn By Marriott Portland Downtown/Waterfront
• Portland Harbor Hotel
• AC Hotel Portland Downtown/Waterfront
• Hilton Garden Inn Portland Downtown Waterfront
• Aloft By Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront

When do I need to RSVP by?

No need to RSVP quite yet. Look out for an official invite early next year.

Can I bring a date? Are my kids invited?

Please refer to your invitation for additional guests. While we'd love to accommodate everyone, we are working within the limitations of the venue.

When should I book my travel plans?

June is a great time to visit Maine and a lot of people feel the same way. We recommend booking travel and accommodations ASAP before prices rise.

Do I need to rent a car?

Not necessarily. All wedding events are within walking distance in downtown Portland. Lyft, Uber, and taxis are available from the airport and accommodations in town.

What should I wear?

Semi-formal attire (whatever that means to you) is encouraged. The festivities will be indoors. Be prepared for a lot of eating and dancing.

Any other weekend activities planned?

We're working on that. Stay tuned!

What time should I show up?

TBD, but plan to arrive at the venue around 4:00 PM on Saturday.

What's the best way to get to the venue? Where can I park?

We recommend walking or rideshare if possible. Parking is available at these parking garages or lots within a couple blocks of Grace:

• Temple Street Garage
• Spare Spot Lot
• Top Of The Old Port
• Portland Public Market Garage
• Metro Pulse on Elm Street

Where is your gift registry?

There is no gift registry! Your presence is present enough.

I can’t give the gift of my presence / Please, I insist on giving a real gift

Thank you so much, but we truly don’t need anything. We’ve been living together since 2013 and frankly we have too much stuff in our house as it is. Feel free to treat us to dinner sometime if you are so inclined. ♡
