Overview
Boston and Cambridge have been so good to us, and we cannot wait to share these special places with you. We suggest guests stay in Back Bay (Boston) for the weekend.
We have reserved discounted rooms at four hotels in Back Bay that are close together. Natalie's parents plan to stay at the Colonnade. Of course, you may stay wherever works well for you. In making reservations, if you run into issues using the links below to find the room blocks, please contact Mike Swartz (MichaelHSwartz@gmail.com).
On the wedding day, buses will bring guests from Back Bay to Harrington Farms in Princeton, MA, and then back at the end of the night.
If you are flying to the wedding, please note: starting May 7, 2025, U.S. domestic flights will require either (i) a REAL ID driver's license or ID card or (ii) a passport. REAL ID cards will have a five-cornered star near the top of the card, likely on a bear if you are a Californian.
