Are you excited?

Yes of course!! We can't wait to be married, and to celebrate with a big party with all of our loved ones.

Why did you choose your venue?

The New Hampshire Audubon McLane Center is a great option for us - near enough to home for all of our loved ones to gather, and preserves wildlife ecosystems, which is important to both of us. We love New England and knew we'd like to stay in the greater New England area, but didn't know where until we visited this space.

What is the full-day plan?

Our ceremony begins at 3:00pm in the flower field in front of the center. After much applause, we invite guests to the pollinator garden for cocktail hour - enjoy drinks and snacks, lawn games, and the raptors that live on site (in containment, of course). Guests will file inside for the reception around 4:30pm with food, dancing, and lots of celebrating until we get kicked out at 9! And then....an after party?? More to come!

Do you need any help as you're planning?

We are extremely fortunate that we've gotten this question many times from friends and family, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude for folks who are ready to support us through the biggest party we've ever thrown! We welcome support day of from our guests to help us move chairs, set up, bring things out, and take things down (as we do need to clear out the space at the end of the reception). If you have any Special Sets of Skills that you feel would be helpful day of, please feel free to reach out!

Can I bring my kids?

We are thrilled to celebrate with you on our special day, and would like to make it an adult-only occasion. As much as we'd love to invite all of your children, we are only able to accommodate children involved in the wedding party due to space limitations.

What should I wear?

We request that guests dress in a Garden Party style - think florals, pastels, light colors and fabrics (it is late June after all!). And with all the grass, we recommend flats, wedges, or block heels for those who choose to wear them.

Oh, where can I sleep?

We have hotel blocks set up with two hotels in Concord: the Fairfield Inn and the Residence Inn. The blocks are available until 30 days prior to our wedding date, so book your spot now if you need it! See more info under the Travel section of our website.

What are you doing after the wedding?

Depends on what you mean by after: - Immediately After (9pm) - we will be cleaning up the McLane Center and exiting by 10pm - we would love your help to make sure we leave this space as clean as possible. - After (10pm) - potential for an after party - stay tuned! -Day After (Sunday) - we will be at our Air BnB all day, and welcome friends and family to come by and hang out for a brunchy BBQ. Address to be shared at a later date.
