Will you be providing transportation to and from the venue?
Yes, we will be providing a shuttle bus service to and from the venue and The Blake Hotel. The bus will leave the hotel at 3:30 pm, arriving at the venue shortly before 4 pm. The bus will also leave the venue after the reception ends around 10 pm, and will make hourly trips back to the hotel until the afterparty ends around midnight. The venue is about 15 minutes away from the hotel.
What is the parking situation?
If you are driving directly to the reception, there is plenty of free parking on-site. If the main lot is full, there is additional parking nearby at 43 Marshall Lane, which you can access the venue from an alternate entrance.
Parking at the Blake Hotel is $33 per night, there is also a public parking garage across the street from the hotel at 340 George Street.
What should I wear?
Wedding attire is "garden party chic." Both the ceremony and reception will be all outdoors, though the reception will be held under a tent. On average the temperature is around 70-80 degrees in late June. We want you to be cool, comfortable, and ready to dance!
The wedding is all outside, what if it rains?
The reception will be under a large sailcloth tent, which will also be our rain plan for the ceremony.
Can I bring a guest?
It will be noted on your invitation if we've earmarked any additional guests.
What about kids?
We love your kids, however this will be an adults-only wedding.
Will there be an after party?
Yes! The afterparty will directly follow the reception at 10 pm in the indoor section of the Hops Company beer hall with a live DJ. We will have several tables reserved and there will be drinks and food available to purchase. The last bus back to the Blake Hotel will leave from the Hops Company around midnight.
Do I need to rent a car?
That's entirely up to you, but we would say you can definitely get away without one. There is plenty within walking distance of the Blake Hotel to grab coffee and explore before/after the wedding.
Are you having a welcome party?
Yes! We are inviting all wedding guests to join us for an open bar & food the evening before the wedding, 6:30-8:30 pm at the rooftop bar The High George at the Blake Hotel. Please RSVP so we can ensure accurate guest count.
