weekend festivities

Our wedding is on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, but we want to see everyone for more than just a few hours. Make plans to stay for at least Saturday and Sunday nights!

Friday (5/26) 8:30pm : Welcome Cocktails
We'll start the festivities with drinks at the Land Ho!
Directions: Follow Route 6 to the rotary in Orleans and exit onto Route 6A. Go 1.0 miles and Land Ho! will be on your left at the stoplight where 6A intersects with Main Street. Land Ho! is a ten-minute walk from the Cove Motel: take a left out of the Cove Motel; take a right on Cove Road; take a left when Cove Road dead-ends at Route 6A and the Land Ho! will be on your left.

Saturday (5/27) 6pm-11:30pm : Wedding and reception
The wedding is at the Wequassett Inn with the reception immediately following.
Directions: We encourage you to take the roundtrip shuttle from the Cove Motel or from the Pleasant Bay Village. If you drive, take Route 6 East to Exit 11. At the end of the ramp, turn left. Go 25 yards and take your first left on Pleasant Bay Road. Proceed to the second stop sign; the entrance to the Wequassett Inn will be directly ahead.

Sunday (5/28) 1:30pm-9:00pm : Beach and BBQ
Join us for a casual day of fun at the Wildes' house in Wellfleet. You can relax on the beach, play tennis, go in the hot tub, or play whiffle ball.
~ 3pm : Capture the Flag
~ 5pm : BBQ Dinner
~ 7pm : Bonfire on the beach
Please dress for play (i.e., Capture the Flag). You might want to bring a book, bathing suit, towel, tennis racket, etc. Children are welcome for all of the Sunday activities.

Directions: Please park at the Newcomb Hollow Beach parking lot. A shuttle van will run between the Wilde House and the parking lot. To reach the lot, take Route 6 East to Wellfleet (you will know you are in Wellfleet when you see the sign for the Wellfleet Drive-In). Once you are in Wellfleet, take a right from Route 6 onto LeConte Hollow Road (just past the South Wellfleet General Store). The turn-off for LeConte Hollow Road is approximately 8.8 miles from the Orleans rotary. Follow LeConte for approximately .8 miles. At the end of LeConte (which dead-ends into the LeConte Hollow Beach parking lot) take a left onto Ocean View Drive. The ocean will now be on your right. Follow Ocean View Drive for approximately 3.2 miles until it dead-ends into the Newcomb Hollow Beach parking lot. Park anywhere in the lot, then look for the shuttle van. It will be continuously running between the lot and the house, so you may have to wait a few minutes for it to return.


We have donated 50 trees to the National Arbor Day Foundation to make the entire weekend climate-change neutral. (Basically, the trees will eat up all of the CO2 emissions resulting from the wedding events and the associated travel of the guests.)
