More Information
More information on the party, dress code, dietary needs, getting here, staying in the area, and other things you might need to know! Please note: In order to allow all guests, including parents, an evening of relaxation, our reception will be an adults only, 21+ occasion. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share in our day and will enjoy having the evening off! Oceanwood is a venue tucked away in the woods by the sea, thus this choice was the one we felt was safest and in the best interest of the children in our lives (who we love!) and their parents (who we want to have a night off and be able to relax!). If you're wondering if you can bring a plus one - due to limited venue space, we unfortunately cannot accommodate guests beyond those named on the invitation. We appreciate your understanding! Dress code: Please dress for dinner beneath the stars and dancing the night away. Think cocktail attire - appropriate for a Mediterranean garden party. Personal expression is encouraged. Dietary needs: Please provide dietary requirements, if any, along with your RSVP. Helen's of Ellsworth is catering. Meat option: Slow roasted beef Vegetarian option: Pasta with cream sauce Bar: A cash bar will be available. They can accept cash and Venmo. Please consume responsibly! Getting here: If GPS is not available to you, we've written out what are hopefully easy instructions to navigate your way to the venue: From Ellsworth, Head North on Route 1, crossing over the bridge into sullivan and continuing on. Make a right onto Pond road, into Gouldsboro. Turn Right onto ME 186-N (AKA MAin St). Follow until MC’s Marketplace, where you will Make a Sharp Left onto Schoodic Loop Rd, following for about half a mile until You will make a left onto Ocean Wood Way. Accommodations: There are several gorgeous hotels, Airbnb's, and little inns tucked away on this part of the coast, from Ellsworth to Bar Harbor to Blue Hill. We recommend booking early if you plan to stay in the area as it will be during the busy summer season. That said, Oceanwood does have 12 campsites tucked into the woods near the beach! If you would like to camp out the night of the wedding, you are more than welcome to. Since there are only 12, please let us know expeditiously if you would like to utilize one of them. They can accommodate tents and small RVs if you have one.
Honeymoon
Italy and Greece
We’re beyond excited to travel the world together. Italy has always been our top choice of destination, and our hope is to take a little jaunt to Greece while we're away!
Gift Any Amount
Your presence is a gift to us!
We are fortunate to have all that we need for our home, so rather than register for material possessions, we chose the route of a honeymoon registry. Quality time spent together has always been a foundation of our relationship. If you are inclined to gift to us beyond sharing in our celebration, we hope that this registry lets you pick out something you think would be fun to do!
