Welcome & About
Pack your bags, we're getting married! We can’t wait to celebrate our next chapter with the people who mean the most to us. Join us for a weekend full of outdoor adventures, starry skies, and memories on Harbor Island.
How to get there
Getting to Harbor Island is the start of your adventure! The standard route is to fly into Portland (PWM) and enjoy the drive up the coastal Route 1, then pass through the heart of Acadia National Park to arrive at Bass Harbor. Alternatively, you can fly into Bangor (BGR) and drive to Bass Harbor.From Bass Harbor, you’ll hop on the ferry over to Swan’s Island (we’ll keep the official ferry schedule updated here on the site!). Once you arrive on Swan’s, we help you across the island to Burnt Coat Harbor, where a quick boat ride will bring you to Harbor Island.
Lodging
Think of this weekend as an elevated, coastal island campout. Rusticating.Harbor Island is totally off-grid and totally worth the trek. Here's a guide on what you can expect during your stay.Lodging is a blend of rustic 1800s historic structures. The Farmhouse and the Cottage are the oldest, while the Cabin and Thinkhouse were built in the 1900s. Glamping tents will also be available since space in the houses is limited. Please let us know if you have a preference in the RSVP form.The Farmhouse, the Cottage, and the Cabin each have dedicated rooms for sleeping with beds and cots, kitchens equipped with stoves and fireplaces in case of chilly nights for everyone to share.Clean drinking water is supplied by several island wells and facilities consist of traditional privies and solar showers.A few suggestions:
Make sure to pack your personal toiletries, towels, flashlights/headlamps, warm layers, and comfortable footwear. When you’re not relaxing ocean-side, there are unlimited woodland walks and beaches to explore.Also, no wifi :)
Ideas for extedned stays
For those with a little extra time, we highly recommend building in a few days on either side of the weekend to explore the Maine coast.As you make your way to or from Bass Harbor, you'll drive through Acadia National Park. We recommend a sunrise hike on Cadillac Mountain, walk around Jordan Pond Lake, or Northeast and Southwest Harbor.If you're driving North from Portland along Route 1, stopping to hike Camden Hills' Mount Battie for panoramic harbor views or visiting downtown Rockland are great ways to break up the drive. If you'd like to keep outings local to Downeast Maine, head over to Deer Isle and Stonington to see Maine's famous working waterfronts.
