For our wedding ceremony and reception, we ask that you wear formal attire - we'd love to see all our family and friends dressed up! The groomsmen will be in tuxes and the bridesmaids in shades of pink. We'll be outdoors for the majority of the evening and above all want you to be comfortable, so factor walking in grass into shoe decisions and feel free to ditch the jackets if/when needed in the heat!
Please plan to arrive at the chapel by 4:15pm so that you may take your seats in time for a 4:30pm start time.
The dorm rooms in Harkness House will be prepared with VERY basic sheets and towels. If you might want a more ~deluxe~ overnight experience, we recommend treating this like move-in day in college...nicer twin XL bed linens, a more plush towel, any toiletries you'll want, a hair dryer...maybe that old box fan kicking around in the basement as the building is not air conditioned ;)
Connecticut College's address is 270 Mohegan Avenue in New London, CT. It's about three hours from NYC and two from Boston. Once you've turned onto Route 32, the entrance will be in about a mile on the left hand side.

Yes! If you plan to drive, there's tons of parking available on campus. You're welcome to park in the college's South Lot, which is a 10 minute walk to the chapel if you're moving at Georgie's speed or a five minute walk at John's speed. There's also some "street parking" outside of various buildings on campus and a couple of smaller parking lots by the tennis courts and behind the library.
