WHERE ARE THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION TAKING PLACE?
The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will take place on Great Diamond Island in Diamond Cove on the coast of Portland Maine. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be seaside (weather permitting) and the reception will be under a sailcloth tent.
HOW DO WE GET THERE?
Each wedding guest will be given a ferry ticket to take the Casco Bay Ferry Lines from downtown Portland to Great Diamond Island. If you are staying on the island, it will be a short walk down to the the McKinley Grove tent site. If you are coming from downtown Portland, it is a quick walk or uber/lyft ride to the ferry port followed by a 30 minute ride and a short walk to the tent site.
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
The ceremony will begin at 3:30 PM. Please allow 15-30 minutes for walking and to find your seat. If you are taking a ferry over right before the ceremony, please look at the available ferry times to ensure you make it before the ceremony starts.
WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
We would love to see our family and friends dress up with us! We are requesting black tie optional dress code. This means you can wear a tux, evening gown, formal suit or cocktail dress- whatever makes you feel your best! As a heads up to all, the ceremony and cocktail hour are in grass so please plan footwear accordingly.
