Where will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception be held?

Our ceremony will take place indoors with air conditioning! Our cocktail hour will be held inside the Lyman Estate, with access to the gardens and grounds to explore. Our reception will then be held under the tent on the lawn.

Is there parking available at the venue?

Yes! The Lyman Estate has its own private, free parking area just a few steps away from the estate's main entrance.

Yes! The Lyman Estate was built in 1798 as the summer home for the Lyman family. The estate and the grounds will be open for guests to explore during the cocktail hour. We hope you enjoy seeing the greenhouses, library, and beautiful gardens.

Can I bring a +1?

We are so excited to celebrate this day with our nearest and dearest! Due to limited capacity at our venue, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally listed on your invitation, including children. Thank you for understanding!

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

The greatest gift you can give us is to be fully present as we say our I do’s. We are having an “unplugged” ceremony, please no phones or cameras. We have hired professionals to capture this day for us, so please allow them to do their best work. After the ceremony, please feel free to take as many photos and videos as you’d like!
