TRAVEL & STAY
We are so happy to welcome you to the southern Maine coast, Jen’s home, during autumn in New England. If you are traveling in for the weekend, we would recommend staying within Ogunquit, Maine for the best access to the events of the weekend. Ogunquit is a small, but lively, coastal town with walkable access to beaches, shops, restaurants, and nightlife(-lite). Though less busy than the summer, “leaf-peeping” season also attracts many visitors to the coast. Luckily, Ogunquit and the surrounding areas have lots of options for lodging, just keep in mind that some of them may fill up quickly.
The following areas have a number of hotels, inns, B&B’s and rentals: Ogunquit downtown, Perkins Cove, Marginal Way, and Ogunquit Beaches. See the Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce’s extended lodging list here. The neighboring towns of York and Kennebunkport also have beautiful walkable areas on the ocean and plenty of options for lodging. The town of Wells is less walkable, but also has many options. Transportation to and from the ceremony and reception will be provided at various accessible locations within Ogunquit (and along Route 1 in Wells, if need be). If staying in York or Kennebunkport, please note that you’ll need a car to access the wedding events and Ubers/Lyfts and hail-able taxis will likely be unavailable. See more details in the Transportation section below.
RECOMMENDED HOTELS
Below are just a few recommended local accommodations with confirmed availability, as of May 2025. With the range of options available in Ogunquit and the surrounding towns, many hotels in the area forego room blocks. However there is one small block of rooms set aside for the Perry-Barch wedding at Juniper Hill Inn (see details below).
