Travel + Accommodations
Flight
Newark Liberty Airport (EWR)
2 HR - 3 HR drive to venue depending on NYC rush hour / summer traffic. We highly suggest taking Amtrak from Newark Penn Station to the Old Saybrook Station stop which is a 3 HR train ride and may cost less than a car rental.
Flight
Tweed New Haven (HVN)
Small airport about 30 minutes from the venue.
Flight
Bradley International Airport
Bradley International Airport is about an hour from Old Saybrook.
Flight
JFK Airport (JFK)
2 HR - 3 HR drive to venue depending on NYC rush hour / summer traffic. Not a reliable option to train from unless you are able to get to Penn Station in NYC.
Train
Amtrak - Northeast Regional Line
We've taken Amtrak several times from Philly to Old Saybrook and it is a pleasant experience if wanting to avoid summer traffic on 95. The Northeast Regional Line stretches from Virginia to Massachusetts and the Old Saybrook stop is close to most of the accomodation options and 10 minutes (6 miles) from Essex Steam Train & Boat Station where pick up/ drop off is for the Wedding.
Hotel
Saybrook Point Resort & Marina
Beautiful small resort next to the Old Saybrook Marina. 15 minute drive (7 miles) to Essex Steam Train & Boat Station where pick up/ drop off is for the Wedding, but walking distance (half a mile) to Welcome Drinks location. This place fills up quick so book far in advance if you would like to stay here.

House Or Rental
Airbnb/VRBO
Most likely going to be the best option for the majority of guests, especially for those traveling in groups. There are plenty of really nice homes in the area. We suggest looking at Old Saybrook, Westbrook, Essex, Chester and Deep River. Book as early as possible to guarantee an accommodation. Many places offer free cancellation up until a couple of weeks prior to the stay.
