Annisquam is, first and foremost, a residential village, and we ask for your cooperation in making sure our wedding is not disruptive to the community. Given the limited public parking options, we are asking that guests do not plan on driving to the ceremony and reception. Guest buses will leave the I4C2 Gloucester City Lot (located at 65 Rogers Street, Gloucester) at 3:00 and 3:15pm and leave from the reception at 9:00pm and 10:00pm. The Lot is a parking lot and has free parking, if guests need to drive and leave their cars. Guests should be sure to leave ample time to catch and Uber or cab (there aren't many!), walk to the pickup spot, or use one of the city-owned 10-hour lots located along Rogers Street downtown. If you have any questions about the buses or transport, please let us know!

Please wear summer cocktail attire; no jeans, shorts, hats, or sneakers. The Annisquam Yacht Club requires collared shirts for men and does not allow jeans or cutoff shorts. After the ceremony, guests will walk to the Annisquam Yacht Club for the reception, so we recommend avoiding shoes that cannot get a little dirty or are uncomfortable to walk in. Since we'll be on the ocean, we suggest bringing a layer for the evening. If it's helpful, the bridesmaids will be in pink and the groomsmen will be in navy!

We love your little ones, but we are hoping this will be an adults-only evening! If your child(ren) are invited, their name(s) will be included on the invitation and RSVP material.

We appreciate your cooperation with keeping phones and cameras away during the ceremony to accommodate our photographers! We are happy to share the professional photos with you once we receive the album, and guests are welcome to arrive a few minutes early to take in the view.

Gloucester has a handful of bars that stay open a little later, but many restaurants close between 10-11pm. We will update everyone with an afterparty location as it’s finalized, and guests can find a few of our favorite restaurants on the “Things to Do” tab!

Coming soon!

Please email jeffandrachel2024@gmail.com with any allergies and food restrictions, and we will pass the information along to the yacht club and do our best to accommodate you. If you are a nursing parent or have a question about accessibility, please let us know and we will provide appropriate accommodations!

We realize this is a lot to read through and digest, and we want to make sure everyone feels comfortable with the location and their arrangements. If you have any questions, you can email us at jeffandrachel2024@gmail.com.
