Reception

Our Wedding

Allison and Alex were both transfer students at University of New Hampshire (Go Cats!, F UMaine). They met through a mutual friend and became fast friends within their group. Allison and Alex eventually moved down to DC where they lived for 5 years and made lifelong friends. Back in New England, they're currently living in Portsmouth, NH with their wonderful rescue beagle, Carolina. We truly appreciate all your love and support surrounding our relationship and can't wait for a fun weekend of food, dancing, and drinks to celebrate this once in a lifetime moment. With love,A&amp;A

How We Met

Our Story

Photos

Rachel and Allison met when they were three years old and have remained best friends ever since. They have been through all of life's major events together, so of course she would be Allison's Maid of Honor for the big day! Rachel has been with her through every step of the wedding process, helping with every decision, helping plan events, and without her it couldn't be done. Allison can't wait to celebrate with Rachel who is like a sister to her.

Allison and Jessi met in 2nd grade where they both bonded over their favorite color being green. Their friendship solidified when Allison used to go over to Jessi's house to watch MTV on Friday nights when Allison wasn't allowed to at her own house. There were many sleepovers, pizza parties and movie nights. Jessi has remained the same kind and loyal friend she was back then.

Louise and Allison first met in middle school during Friday night flashlight tag games around Allison's neighborhood and have remained extremely close friends ever since. Louise has always had Allison's back throughout the years. Allison can't wait to celebrate with her. Allison is also in Louise's wedding, and planning together has been a lot of fun.

Allison and Geena met in 8th grade where they bonded over Geena's glittery makeup and when they had to work on their llama project together. Despite the distance throughout the last few years their friendship has stayed exactly the same. Allison is excited to have Geena standing by her side.

Allison and Kristen met when Allison joined a kickball league to meet people after moving to DC. Even though Kristen quit halfway through the season they kept hanging out for the next five years. Kristen is creative and thoughtful and has made Allison's after-party reception dress. Allison can't imagine doing this without her.

Rachel and Allison met through Jessi when they were all going to the Justin Bieber "My World Tour" in 2009. Since then, they have remained best friends and have seen every Taylor Swift concert together. Rachel would come down to visit often when Allison and Alex moved to DC. A true friend to the end, Allison is excited to have Rachel by her side.

Dean and Alex met growing up in Maine but it was after they both moved away from their hometown they became close. Dean would always come with Nathan and Andrew to visit or vice versa. One of Alex's favorite memories is when Dean and the rest of the crew would meet up halfway at the McDonalds before visiting each other.

Q + A

GETTING THERE

An hour from Portsmouth, this airport will have the most options for flying direct in and out of the New England area.

Boston Logan International Airport

About 45 minutes away from Portsmouth, this is a smaller airport compared to Boston. It's easier to navigate around and it's simple to get through security. Flying in and out of here will likely be more expensive than Boston, but it's worth looking into for better convenience.

Manchester-Boston Regional Airport

Further from the venue (about 2 hours), you'll need to rent a car but DC friends can get cheaper flights from DCA to PVD. (Check Southwest). Small airport that is easy to navigate.

Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport

HOTELS

Since it's Columbus Day weekend and peak leaf peeping season, we recommend booking hotel rooms sooner rather than later.

Highest tier of hotel block. The most expensive but directly on site. There is a 2 night minimum to stay. There is a small block of rooms at the Wentworth, if the below link has no availability and you'd like to stay there, please go to the main site to book your room or reach out to us if we can add a room to our block.

Wentworth by the Sea

Middle tier of accommodations. This block is about 12 minutes from the venue and moderately priced. You can change the block to one night if you'd like. Below is the link through the website to book within our block. There is no minimum but you have to change it to one night if you'd like, because it automatically populates two. Book within our block to cut the cost.

Fairfield by Marriott Portsmouth

Best Western is the lower tier of accommodation. They are currently undergoing renovations, so we recommend if booking here that you request a newly renovated room. We haven't stayed here before, but this will be the cheapest option of all three. About 12 minutes from the venue. Use link below to book within our room block.
