Travel and Accommodations
We’re so excited to welcome you to the North Shore of Massachusetts, a place that has been part of our story from the very beginning. Grace grew up spending her time in South Hamilton, where her mom’s horse farm is still located and where Andres asked Grace to prom all those years ago.
With farmland in one direction and the ocean in the other, the North Shore brings together so much of what we love. Its coastal towns, beaches, and deep equestrian history make it an incredibly special place, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Our wedding will take place in South Hamilton. We recommend making Gloucester your home base for the weekend. Located on the coast about 15 to 20 minutes from Hamilton, Gloucester has plenty of restaurants, shops, beaches, and waterfront spots to enjoy between celebrations.
August is peak season on the North Shore, and we have reserved a limited number of rooms at hotels in the area. We strongly recommend booking your accommodations as early as possible.
Airbnb and Vrbo are also great options. We recommend looking in the towns of Gloucester, Rockport, Beverly, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Hamilton, Ipswich, or Essex.
Getting Here
For guests flying in, we recommend Boston Logan International Airport. Renting a car is the easiest way to reach the North Shore and explore the area throughout the weekend. Rideshare services are available, but availability may be more limited than in Boston.
Weekend Transportation
Transportation will be provided on Saturday between designated Gloucester hotels and Myopia Hunt Club. Exact shuttle schedules and pickup locations will be shared closer to the wedding.
Please note that transportation will not be provided for Friday’s welcome event, so guests should plan to drive or arrange a rideshare to and from Gloucester.
