GETTING AROUND

As you can see, our wedding weekend will take place at multiple different locations in the greater Boston area. If you’re flying in, we’d suggest you either A) rent a car or B) arrange in advance for rides with someone local for the entirety of the weekend. Uber or Lyft is not dependable to/from Lincoln.

WHERE TO STAY

There are two hotels extremely close to the reception: the Watertown Hampton Inn, and the Residence Inn Boston Watertown. We strongly suggest you book your room early!

If you'd prefer to stay closer to the bustle of Cambridge, we'd suggest Sonder 907 on Main, Hotel 1868, or the Freepoint Hotel Cambridge.

If you'd prefer to stay closer to Lincoln, we'd suggest Embassy Suites by Hilton in Waltham or the Westin in Waltham (both about a 10 minute drive from brunch on Sunday).

ANSWERS TO RATHER COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Please submit your RSVP on this site by April 21, 2025.

  • Unfortunately, we're on a tight budget and the restaurant has limited space, so we simply can’t afford for all of our lovely guests to bring a guest of their own. Plus ones are by invitation only and we ask other guests to please not bring a plus one. Thank you so much for understanding!

  • For all Friday and Saturday events, we kindly request that you leave your little ones at home.

    Sunday, we welcome you to bring your kiddos!

  • While we love our dog more than life itself, she sadly won't be attending any part of the weekend and we regretfully ask that you arrange for your puppers to stay home, too.

  • Delicious “New American” with plenty of vegetarian options

  • Drinks will be provided at all events. Please don't bring outside drinks due to venue licensing.

  • Late June in New England can be unpredictable! We’d suggest you bring a light layer and a raincoat and/or umbrella. We'll have backup umbrellas in case of rain.

  • We are not planning to hold any rooms. We suggest booking as soon as you can!

  • Breakfast/Lunch — Intelligentsia Coffee, Sofra Bakery and Cafe, Tatte Harvard Square, Life Alive Harvard Square, Alden and Harlow, Black Sheep Bagel Cafe

    Sites — Mt Auburn Cemetery, the Charles River, the Old North Bridge in Concord

  • Because Ubers are hard to come by in Lincoln, we’d suggest you plan your ride to Lincoln on Sunday in advance.

  • For Friday welcome drinks at Notch, there is a small parking lot to the right of the Speedway entrance, as well as street parking on Western Ave. We’d suggest an Uber/Lyft to simplify things.

    For the Saturday reception at Branch Line, there is a huge parking garage adjacent to the restaurant that’s all ours!

    For Sunday brunch, you’ll be directed to park along Page Farm Road and walk down the driveway to the gathering.

REGISTRY

We are so grateful you're coming to spend the weekend with us. If you feel inclined to give us a wedding gift, a contribution toward a down payment for a house would be hugely appreciated. If you'd like to give us something a bit more tangible and immediate, we've included a few very lovingly selected items we’d love for our home on our registry.
