Where to Stay
We are advising all guests to stay on the “mainland” North Fork in the town of Greenport. Guests can “walk-on” the North Ferry and there will be a shuttle from the North Ferry terminal on Shelter Island to GBCC (more details to come). If you are walking on the ferry, there should not be a wait, you should be able to catch the “next boat”. If you are planning to drive-on the ferry and drive to the venue, plan for up to 30 minutes wait time at the ferry terminal in Greenport. The ferry ride from Greenport to Shelter Island is approximately 10 minutes. The shuttle ride from the North Ferry terminal on Shelter Island to GBCC is approximately 8 minutes. The after-party will be located on the North Fork (in Greenport). The reception will end with ample time for guests to catch a shuttle and make it back to Greenport before the last ferry! Greenport and the surrounding area offer a variety of lodging, dining, drinking, and shopping.
Townsend Manor Inn
We have reserved a room block at the Townsend Manor Inn for our wedding. If you plan to stay there and book online, please include "Nugent/Carrick Wedding" in the notes section. If you prefer to book by phone, be sure to mention that you're attending our wedding.
The Townsend Manor Inn is conveniently located just a 5-minute Uber ride from the North Ferry. Our first shuttle will depart from the inn and take the ferry over to Shelter Island. More details concerning the shuttle are to come.
