We're so excited for you to visit Boston for our wedding! Please note that there are more options than just what is outlined below so be sure to look around. Whichever option you choose, we recommend that you book/make your reservations at least six months prior... Places to stay book up quickly in May because of the college graduations!
The Subway/Train is your best option.
You can only buy a T Pass/Charlie Card at certain stations. On the green line anything heading into the city, Kenmore and beyond, is where you can purchase these.
We highly recommend you avoid driving. Parking overnight in Boston/Brookline is difficult and often expensive. Public transportation is decent here and you can always uber/take a cab. If you do choose to rent a car, be sure to make your reservations at a place that has a parking spot included.
A cheaper option is to get a home/apartment rental for your stay. Anything in Allston, Brighton, Brookline, and Fenway would work best. If you're planning to use transit the most important thing to keep in mind is to stay along one of the Green Lines (transit map), and most preferably along the C Line. If you are driving or renting a car make sure the home/apartment has parking available!
Some home sharing websites to check-
We have a courtesy rate at The Inn at Brookline, which is where we are hosting our reception and is only a couple blocks away from where we’ll be having the ceremony. It is the most convenient place to stay as it’s right by all of the events on our wedding day, as well as a T stop for easy transportation to other places in town. At $289/night this is a decent option if you are looking to stay at a hotel. This courtesy rate is not a room block, so the rooms aren’t physically reserved and is only available at this discounted rate until the hotel is 85% booked (which will happen quickly as it is a graduation weekend). Please note that it will also cost $38/night to park in their garage.
Feel free to reserve your room here to get the discounted rate. If calling in, use the code ASW or Allison Speck Wedding.
