Instructions for getting to The Inn on Peaks Island:
Walk, drive, or Uber to the Casco Bay Ferry Lines off of Commercial Street. Walk to the end of the terminal and into the building. There is a counter where you will need to purchase a ticket to Peaks Island (~$14/person round-trip). The ferry takes 15-20 minutes to get from Portland to the Island. Once you get to the Island and get off the ferry, you’ll walk straight off the boat and up the small hill. Immediately to the right you will see the Inn.
The ceremony begins at 4PM, and the venue becomes available for you to enter at 3:30PM. You can take the 3:15PM ferry from Portland to get there right on time. Or, feel free to ferry over a little bit earlier and grab a bite to eat at one of the quaint restaurants nearby and explore the island.
*Disclaimer: Should you decide to drive, beware that parking in downtown Portland is limited and may require some searching. There are local garages and lots you may park in for a fee, but mid-afternoon on a Saturday will likely be a bit busy. Most street parking is 2hrs maximum until 6pm.*
