Reception

Important logistics

PARKING: The day of the ceremony and reception, please park at Mitchell Elementary School (7 School Lane) a roughly 0.25 mile (5 minute) walk from the venue. Moores Island is a private, residential area so please be respectful on your walk down the lane. If you are unable to walk from Mitchell School, let us know so we can coordinate a closer parking spot or shuttle for you.

Attire

Most of you know us as quite casual, however we are excited for a good excuse to get spruced up! The wedding is cocktail attire and we welcome whatever fancy pants you're most comfortable with - sundresses, slacks, bowties, or ballgowns. Just remember that the wedding is on the beach and outside rain or shine, so we recommend comfortable shoes and layers. The welcome dinner will be a bit more casual but please leave time to change out of your bathing suit, drop the fishing vest, and button up your party shirt before you arrive.

Our Wedding

Hannah and Jason met soon after Hannah moved to Olympia, WA in 2016. Months after a seemingly dead-end first date, the two started running into each other at the climbing gym and decided to give it another go. Having bonded over their shared love for fly-fishing, hiking, breakfast food, and general interest in natural resources, Jason finally won Hannah over by making her the best tacos she has ever eaten (still to date!). Jason, Jason's dog Ruger, and Hannah moved to Bellingham, WA together while Hannah attended graduate school. There, they enjoyed backpacking, the amazing selection of local brews, and Jason taught Hannah some new hobbies like mountain biking and bow hunting. Most recently, Hannah, Jason, and their two dogs Nora and Rio have been thoroughly enjoying their move to Teton Valley, ID. They are all very excited to share Hannah's coastal hometown with their friends and family this June!

Wedding Party

Q + A

Getting here

Wedding events will take place in Kittery Point, Maine. If flying in, we suggest Boston Logan airport. C&amp;J Bus lines run every hour between the Logan and Portsmouth, NH. Advance booking is recommended to make sure you get a seat. If you take the bus, make sure to coordinate with us or someone else to pick you up from the bus station.

Lodging

If you're coming from out of town, we suggest securing your lodging soon, as June is a popular time of year to visit the area. For a stay close to the venue and our local beaches, we recommend seeking a short-term rental in Kittery Point. Portsmouth, NH is around 10 minutes from the venue and offers a variety of lodging options close to downtown including hotels or short-term rentals. York, ME is close to the more popular sandy beaches in the area. We love the walk from the York Harbor Inn to York Harbor Beach.

Getting around

The coast of Maine is best seen by car, and we suggest a vehicle rental if you're flying from out of town. There is Uber in the area, but don't expect to catch one whenever you need, as Kittery Point can be a quiet area.

Tides

We work around the tides in Kittery Point. You can review the tides on <a href="https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/noaatidepredictions.html?id=8419807&amp;units=standard&amp;bdate=20240601&amp;edate=20240630&amp;timezone=LST/LDT&amp;clock=12hour&amp;datum=MLLW&amp;interval=hilo&amp;action=monthlychart" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NOAA's website</a>. Pepperrell Cove has rocky shorelines with tidal mudflats. For boating and swimming, aim for a higher tide. Nearby sandy beaches are best during a mid or lower tide when there is more room to spread out.

Day trips

If you are in the area for a few days, here are some of our favorite excursions a bit further from town:Brewery tour in PortlandBoston waterfrontHike in the White MountainsPopham Beach State ParkBeaches, shopping, and dining in Kennebunkport

Overnights

If you are in the area for longer and have time for a multiday excursion, here are our favorites: Drive up the mid-coast: we suggest stopping in Wiscasset on your way and staying in Rockport or Camden for arts, tall ships, shopping, and food. For a pricey but well-worth it farm to table dinner experience, try your luck with reservations at Primo. Acadia National Park: bring bikes to ride along the old carriage roads and make sure to get a popover at Jordan Pond House. Don't miss out on Schoodic Point! Bradford Camps: A traditional Maine sporting camp run by Hannah's godparents. It's a long drive to get there, but well-worth it to enjoy rustic picturesque cabins on an undeveloped lake... and a great way to experience Maine's native brook trout fishery! Monhegan Island: Take the ferry 10 miles out from the Maine-land and arrive in a quaint island community. Walk the trails, look for sea life from the rocky shoreline, and stop at the Monhegan Brewery.
