Can I use my phone to take photos during the ceremony?
While we love that you want to capture our special day, we ask that you do not use your phones during our ceremony. We will be having an unplugged ceremony and invite you all to be present with us as this is one of the most important moments of our lives together. I promise, the professionals will take amazing photos! Please feel free to snap some pictures as soon as the ceremony is over!
Can I arrive early?
While we do not recommend arriving very early to the ceremony, there will be a spot to gather and wait until the ceremony begins! If you know you are someone who tends to run late, please feel free to come as early as needed so you don't miss anything!
Is there somewhere to stay overnight at the venue?
No, unfortunately there is not space to stay overnight at Bradstreet Farm. We have booked a hotel block at a nearby hotel. Please see the "Travel" tab for more details and a booking link!
Can I bring my child with me to the wedding?
Although we would love to see your child and spend the day with them, our wedding is an 18 + event. We hope that this gives you an opportunity to relax and enjoy a night out. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.
Can I bring my significant other to the wedding?
If you were given a plus one on your wedding invitation, then yes, you may bring a guest. Unfortunately, weddings are expensive and we are not able to accommodate a plus one for every guest.
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
We ask that you please wear cocktail/semi-formal attire, but we want you to be comfortable! Please wear whatever makes you feel amazing! Some examples include a suit and tie, a cocktail dress, a slip dress, a dressy jumpsuit. Please refrain from wearing the colors white and forest green as these colors are specific to the wedding parties.
Where should I sit during the ceremony?
Pick a seat, not a side! We ask that you pick any seat you are comfortable in, we are not having specific sides for the bride's or groom's family as we believe we are all family and that is why you have been invited to the wedding! There will be a few memorial seats for those who cannot be with us, as well as a few reserved seats.
Where do I go after the ceremony is over?
At the end of the ceremony, the bridal party will be taking photos while all other guests will go straight into cocktail hour! Luckily, you won't have to go too far as cocktail hour is located outside just next to the ceremony site. In inclement weather, cocktail hour will be moved inside the barn.
Do I have to go to the rehearsal dinner?
Not unless you are a member of the wedding party!
What will the weather be like this time of year?
The average temperature in September in Rowley is around 74 degrees. We do suggest brining a light jacket or shall and umbrella in case of rain.
Are the ceremony and reception taking place at the same location? Will it be indoors or outsdoors?
Yes, the ceremony and reception will both take place at Bradstreet Farm. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outside (weather permitting) and the reception will be held inside of the beautiful barn. Don't worry, there are fireplaces and outdoor seating if you feel like being outside during the reception.
Can I smoke at the wedding? Where should I go to smoke?
While we invite you to participate in a smoke-free evening, we understand that this is not always possible. There will be a designated smoking area along the property line. Please do not smoke ANYWHERE other than the designated area and please dispose of your cigarette butts in the bucket provided. There will be no smoking of federally illegal substances allowed at Bradstreet Farm.
What should I do if I can't make it?
You will be missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “no,” so we can plan accordingly.
What airport should I fly into?
Portsmouth International Airport in New Hampshire is approximately 30 miles or 35 minutes from Rowley, while Logan International Airport in Boston is about 37 miles from Rowley or just about one hour with traffic.
Where do I park?
There is on-site parking for about 80 cars- please plan accordingly and try to carpool as much as possible. Guests may leave their cars overnight if needed, but will need to be picked up by 11am the following morning.
For any guests with mobility issues, there will be two handicapped parking spaces adjacent to the Barn. There is also a golf cart available that can transport guests directly to the ceremony area.
