Ceremony & Reception Location

Joseph and I had a very memorable date on the Charles River in Boston in his kayak. He proposed on the Middle Bridge over the Ottauquechee River in Woodstock, VT. Keeping with the river theme, our wedding will be at the Jones River Trading Company at 42 Elm Street in Kingtson, MA on Friday, July 18th, 2014.

As of March 4th, when I posted this, Google Maps has the wrong building marked as the ceremony site. It is the much bigger building south of the river listed as Elm Street on Jones River Reservoir

The ceremony starts at 5:30 and the reception goes until 11:00.

Accommodations

We have some rooms blocked off at the John Carver Inn & Spa for $161 on Thursday and $179 on Friday, Saturday. You have to reserve all three nights for the rate, so the total (including tax) comes to $584.22. You can cancel for a full refund up until July 10th. This hotel is close to downtown Plymouth, which has a lot of stuff to do, and an effin' Indoor Theme Pool boasting a life-size replica of the Mayflower. I can’t believe this place is real. Their Plymouth Rock is way bigger than the actual one.

Slightly less expensive is the Comfort Inn in Plymouth, which is a little further out. We did end up reserving a block for Thursday and Friday night just in case, but right now you might be able to find cheaper rates through Hotels.com than the one they quoted us, which is $150 a night (plus 11.7% tax). If you are thinking of staying a few extra days I suggest you book ASAP because they say Saturday is already close to being booked up entirely. Breakfast and wifi is included, there's an indoor pool, etc. All this good stuff can be found on the website.

If either of these blocks fills up—let us know. There's a chance we can get more rooms added.

Members of the Lomakin family have graciously offered to house anyone who is unable to find accommodation, so please let us know if you are interested. 

We have also had decent experiences with AirBnB.

And we can tell you don’t book the Inn at Plymouth Bay/Plymouth Bay Inn & Suites. It is very close to the venue, but our contact there warned us against it.

There are many other hotels in the area, as well as closer to Boston, if you prefer to see the city. I'd suggest checking the Bed Bug Registry first, but keep in mind some of the reports may be resolved or fraudulent.

Transportation

Would people like it if we arranged for transportation from Boston or the hotel to the reception?

Please let us know. You know how to get in touch.

There is a Commuter Rail Line to Kingston, a 7 minute drive from the reception.

The reception will end at 11; the last commuter train leaves at 8:50.

Dress Code

Wear something that brings you joy.

The South Shore and Beyond

There is a lot to do on Massachusett’s South Shore in summer. Nearby Plymouth has many options besides the rock. There is plenty to see on Cape Cod and obviously, Boston. And of course our hometown of Cambridge has numerous events and places to go, especially our neighborhood of Harvard Square. Come marvel at our many fine ATMs!
