Frequently Asked Questions
You have questions. We have answers.
I’m a guy, what should I wear to the wedding?
“No shorts” – Caroline. The Library’s kinda nice so let’s go with formal wear please! We’re not doing black tie, so a nice suit works (but if you can pull off a sick tux, all the power to ya!)
I’m a lady, what should I wear to the wedding?
Cocktail to semi-formal, think library chic. Dresses or dressy jumpsuits — classy but comfortable, ready to dance amongst the stacks!
How do I get to the The Boston Public Library Courtyard?
Walk, Uber / Lyft, or take the T to the Library! Some GPS’s may take you to the Boylston Street entrance, however please use the entrance around the corner facing Copley Square on Dartmouth Street, click here to find a pin to apx: 231 Dartmouth St, Boston MA 02116. From that entrance, the courtyard is straight ahead to the right, follow the ushers! If taking the the T (subway), transfer to either: the Green line to Copley station or the Orange line / commuter rail to Back Bay station, short walk to the library from there.
What time should I get there?
Arrive by 6:45pm for the ceremony, in seats in the courtyard promptly by 7:00pm.
How do I get to Cisco Seaport for Welcome Drinks?
If you’re in town already, feel free to join us for drinks on Saturday night at 7:30pm! We would ask that you make your own way to Cisco Brewers – Seaport. Cisco is located at 📍 85 Northern Ave, Boston, MA 02210 in Boston’s Seaport neighborhood which is about 3 miles from the Back Bay hotels. The simplest way is ordering an Uber, Lyft, or taxi – if you don’t have a ride app, try and group up with those who do. Metered street parking is available by Cisco although limited, there are paid garages.
Transit options are also available:
1) Commuter rail (~23 mins, one or two fares of $2.40): at Back Bay Station, take the 7:04pm inbound train towards South Station on the Providence/Stoughton line, from South Station it’s either a 15 min walk to Cisco or you can transfer (new fare) to any of the frequent Silver Lines (SL1, SL2, SL3, SLW) one stop outbound to Courthouse Station, 3 min walk to Cisco.
2) Subway (~33 mins, one fare $2.40): from Back Bay Station, take the Orange Line northbound train (towards Oak Grove) 4 stops to State Station, 20 minute walk to Cisco from State Street Station. OR get off at Downtown Crossing Station, transfer to red line southbound (towards Ashmont/Braintree) one stop to South Station, transfer to Silver Line (SL1, SL2, SL3, SLW) 1 stop to Courthouse station, 3 min walk to Cisco.
*If there’s a line at Cisco, you can skip it! Enter on the left side of the main entrance, tell them you’re with the Martin / Saad party. We are in the front right corner in the “Langosta” shack (shipping container) next to the big screen tv.*
Where can I stay?
Where should I park?
Hotel parking is mostly valet in this area and can be pricey (~$70/night). The library does not have public parking. The best parking prices are usually at the nearby 131 Dartmouth St. Garage if booked on SpotHero in advance (next to Douzo restaurant, not to be confused with 126 Dartmouth right across the street which also decent rates) click here for latest on SpotHero. As such, if staying at a hotel, I’d recommend dropping off your bags then self parking at a garage. The 110 Huntington – Copley Place Garage could be convenient for those staying at Marriott/Westin, if a bit more than 131 Dartmouth. If looking for hourly parking day-of, there are meter spots on the street with free parking on Sundays (watch out for street cleaning overnight on the main streets and for resident only parking on side streets).
I can’t make it unfortunately
