Waldoboro is a very small town close to our venue (5 minute drive).&nbsp;Damariscotta (15 minute drive) is a slightly bigger coastal town with nice restaurants, coffee shops, antique shops, and one of our favorite bookstores. Rockland (25 minute drive) is even bigger - it has an art museum and lots of shops/food options.&nbsp; We have a room block at the Rockland Harbor Hotel and will have a shuttle from here to the venue for the wedding on Friday. The shuttle will also make a stop at Moody's Motel in Waldoboro. You do not need to stay at either of these options - there are lots of lovely inns, bed and breakfasts, Airbnbs and VRBOs in the area! We list a few below but this list isn't exhaustive. Maine in the summer does book up though so we’d recommend booking as early as possible.

Rockland Harbor Hotel

Rockland Harbor Hotel is on the main street of Rockland. Our room block includes rooms with king beds and rooms with two queen beds.

Accommodation

Getting there

Airports

Portland Jetport: Smaller airport just over an hour drive or bus ride from our venue. Boston Logan Airport: Larger airport a three hour drive or bus ride from our venue

<a href="https://concordcoachlines.com/route/midcoast-maine-to-from-portlandbostonlogan-airport/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Concord Coach Lines</a>&nbsp;have buses that run between Boston, including directly from Boston Logan Airport, and multiple Maine cities, including Portland, Waldoboro, and Rockland.

Getting around

Shuttle

For those who requested a shuttle, we will have a couple of taxis to bring people to/from the wedding ceremony and reception on Friday. In Rockland, pick-up will be at the Rockland Harbor Hotel at 3pm. One taxi will stop at the Waldoboro Inn and one will stop at Moody's Motel. Both taxis will make the return trip at 10pm, the end of the reception.

Driving

We recommend bringing or renting a car! While there are some taxi services, Maine has limited public transportation in general. Getting around by car is the best option to explore the nearby cute towns and pretty views. You are welcome to drive to and from the venue - there is ample parking on site.

Taxis

There are Ubers in the area but they are rumored to be limited, so it might be best to arrange a taxi ahead of time. <a href="https://twinvillagetaxi.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twin Village Taxi</a> <a href="https://schoonerbaytaxi.me/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Schooner Bay Taxi</a>
