We will be arranging for busses to pick up guests in Portland, transport you to the ceremony and back to Portland at the end of the night (10:30pm) to either the after party (Novare Res) or your hotel. We recommend this option for anyone who lives in Portland or is getting a hotel in Portland. Please stay tuned to this page for any updates on bus schedule.
There will be no transportation to the other festivities.
Tentative schedule 8/3/24:
Bus A 2:30pm and Bus B 2:45pm Departing from Holiday Inn By the Bay Portland, ME (Spring St) and Drop off at Cousins Island Chapel by 3:20pm. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to scheduled departure time.
10:30pm Pick up from Reception, first stop at Novare Res (After Party), second stop at Holiday Inn By the Bay Portland...the bride and groom will be on this bus...just sayin', sounds like a party!
Private Car: We recommend carpooling as parking is limited. However, if you choose to drive yourself to the event there is a bridge to Cousins Island, you do not need to take a ferry. We recommend parking on Eben Hill Road (near the reception at 14 Atlantic Reach, Yarmouth, ME). We will arrange a shuttle (Bus A) to pick up anyone parking on Eben hill at 3:10. Please gather near the big rock at the start of Eben Hill (there will be a sign). Otherwise feel free to walk!
Note: Parking near the Chapel will be even more limited. However, you may park along Cousins Street across from the Chapel if you are unable to make the walk or are running late (in true Connor fashion!). Make sure your car is fully off the street! Unfortunately, if you park at the Chapel and need to dirve to the reception, you will miss the parade/walk to the house.
This is our recommended option as it is 2 blocks from the after party (Novare Res) and will be one of the locations for bus transport to and from Portland.

The former headquarters for the Portland Press Herald. Neat!
One of the cheaper options in the Portland area. Friends and family have raved about the clean facilities and fun shared experience. There are options to book private rooms of up to 8 if you can get a group together!
A short walk from the after party (Novare Res) and the bus pick up location (Holiday Inn).
