Important Wedding Logistics

What to wear?

Think upscale garden party! It's a backyard wedding in June, after all. Ladies ~consider wedges, a thicker heel or flats, there will be grassy areas under the tent.

Where to stay in town?

We are thrilled to have guests coming from all over the region. Some of you may want to stay close to the action and not worry about traveling after the party.  You're in luck! There are several options for lodging in the Fairfield area. 


The closest two include the Circle Hotel and the Hotel Hi-Ho. Christie and Grant arranged for discounted rates at these hotels. Depending on the hotel, there's a 10-15% discount on the going rate. Room availability might be limited since this is a weekend in June, so if you think you'll need a room, book it as early as possible.

Other local lodging options include:

DelaMar

Westport Inn

Airbnb (for some nice alternatives)


Where to park?

Let's face it. We live on a very busy road. So where can you park?

  1. You may use the school parking lot across the street (please note that the town does not allow overnight parking at the school). 
  2. You can park street-side (although we recommend that you use the side roads — Pansy Road and Mayfair Road — not Stillson Road).


By the way, we will have a police officer on site to help with traffic control and pedestrian crossing at the crosswalk during the event. We want everyone to be safe!


Don't want to drive?

If you're really looking to celebrate and don't want to worry about driving, Uber is available in the area.


What’s the Schedule?

It’s going to be a busy evening for the bride and groom! 


We have a lot of information and fun things to share with all our friends and family.  There will be more to come so check in regularly. Here’s what YOU can expect....

Event Details

Any special dietary needs?

Although there will be plenty of gastronomic delights from which to choose, please let us know if we should be aware any special dietary needs (i.e. food allergies)!  We want everyone to be able to partake in the delicious food our favorite caterer is preparing.

GPS? What's That?
