Getting There
Directions to the church and reception.
Airport Information
The airport in Boston is called Logan Airport, and there is decent public transportation from there to other parts of the city. To get to the Alewife stop, take the Silver Line to the Red Line, about a 45 minute trip. If you fly into Manchester, NH, you'll need to rent a car. Into Providence, it's a 75 minute bus trip into Boston. Note that if you'll have a car, parking within the city is difficult and often expensive. There is, however, plenty of parking near Tom's house in Somerville - a 15 minute walk to the Red Line (Porter Square).
Renting a Car
There is no public transportation to the church for the wedding ceremony, or to the reception, which is a 15 minute drive from the church. You will have to rent a car if you can't find a ride. We recommend doing this sooner than later, as we can't promise there will be cars available the closer we get to May 27th. You can rent a car at the airport- there are also two car rental places near Tom's house. Please e-mail us for more info.
