Frequently Asked Questions

  • If it works for your family, we encourage you to bring your children and babies to the ceremony and reception.

    We plan to have mother’s helpers on-site throughout the day to make your whole family’s attendance as easy as possible. More information will be shared closer to the date, but if you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please do reach out.

  • Thank you for making the trip to come celebrate with us!

    We have reserved a block of rooms at The Regency Hotel in Portland, Maine. This is where we will be staying, where the shuttles will leave from, where activities the day before and after will take place, and where the reception will be held! With our room block, it also happens to be one of the most economical hotels in the area :) We would love for our guests to be as close to the fun as possible.

    If the Regency doesn’t work for you and your family for any reason, there are a number of other hotels in close proximity to choose from!

    To take advantage of our discounted room rate at The Regency, call the hotel at (207) 774-4200. More details can be found on our travel page.‍ ‍

  • Winter in Maine can be unpredictable. But, at the very least, expect it to be cold. If at all possible, we encourage you to travel to Maine a few days in advance to safeguard your plans against any inclement weather. Staying at The Regency will also minimize any time spent navigating potentially icy sidewalks and cobblestone streets.

    If you do make it to Maine early, we want to celebrate with you! We are planning casual local events—check back for details as we get closer.

  • We will have shuttles bringing guests from The Regency hotel to The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception ahead of the ceremony, and shuttles to bring guests back to the Regency for the reception.

    Please note on your RSVP whether you’d like transportation, and we will get you there! Shuttles will begin at 1:15pm on December 30.

  • We kindly request that phones are not used during the ceremony. Our photographer will gladly share photos with you after the event!

    When the bride and groom are entering and leaving the ceremony and taking their vows, we would like to see all of your wonderful faces and not the backs of your cellphones.

  • Many of you are traveling across the globe to celebrate with us in Maine, so your presence means the world to us and is all we ask for.
