Yes, if you are unable to stay for the entire wedding, there will be an 8:30PM ferry departure that is available to our guests, however please note, the drop off destination will be different from where you got on the ferry. The 8:30PM ferry from Thompson Island will drop guests off in South Boston at EDIC Pier, which is located off Drydock Avenue in the Marine Industrial Park.
The dress code is "cocktail attire". Please keep in mind that the venue is semi-outdoors and on an island so please bring a shawl or light jacket, just in case!
