Accommodations


We know most of our loved ones are only about an hour away from the venue, so please don’t feel pressured to book a hotel unless it makes the weekend easier for you. We’ve reserved room blocks at two nearby hotels for anyone who would prefer to stay overnight and skip the drive.


With an open bar at the welcome dinner and an early ceremony the next morning, staying close by may feel like the more relaxing option—but we completely understand if home is the best choice for you. Whatever you decide, we’re just grateful to celebrate with you, whether it’s for one event or the whole weekend.

The White Inn


We’ve reserved a few rooms at The White Inn for members of our wedding party (and anyone who’d like to turn the weekend into a little getaway). Since it’s a boutique-style hotel, each room has its own unique layout and there are only a handful of each type available.

Clarion Hotel


We also have a room block at the Clarion Hotel for guests who would like to stay right on the water and close to the venue.


It’s a great choice for anyone who decides to stay overnight last minute, if all the other accommodation options are booked up. The Clarion is not our first choice, as it is a bit dated, however, it is on the waterfront with bars and restaurants just a few steps away!


To make things simple, our block currently includes the lowest room rate (double queen, no view), since the Clarion will be in peak season with sailing and fishing competitions.


If you’d prefer an upgraded room type, just let Elisa know and she can coordinate with the hotel to add your preferred option to the block at a discounted rate.
