Is the Ceremony and Reception at the same venue?

Yes! The ceremony and the reception are both held on the second floor of the Hampshire House venue. During cocktail hour, guests will enjoy a third-floor view in the manor style rooms while the reception space gets a makeover.

What time can I arrive?

Guests are encouraged to arrive between 5:00pm - 5:20pm to ensure a timely ceremony start. Once you’ve entered the Hampshire House lobby, there should be adequate signage recommending where to wait (if you’re wicked early) before taking your seat. While we do not expect any large Boston Events on this date, please keep in mind city traffic, formal attire, and less functional footwear may lead to a slower than average travel speeds.

Should I walk to the venue if my hotel is nearby?

Walking is always encouraged. The Wedding Party kindly asks that guests DO NOT walk through the Boston Public Garden at least 3 hours before the wedding, as they will be taking photos. If you are interested in a mid-day walk, keep reading FAQs for alternative Boston walking routes.
