Guest Guide

Everything practical in one place: where to sleep, how to find the farm, where to park, and the questions we are asked most. For the venue itself and the order of the day, see The Weekend.

Finding your way

The map

The dark pin is Jeffers Hill Farm. Everything else is a place to stay, so you can see how far each one sits from the farm before you book. Tap a pin for driving directions.

Loading the map…

  • The farm — Ceremony, reception, and parking
  • Inns and lodges — Rooms and cabins to book
  • Campgrounds — Sites, cabins, and RV hookups

Parking and Arrival

Everything happens on the farm, so parking is on the property and free. Come up Jeffers Hill Road and follow the signs. A attendant will be present to direct you to parking. Please try to be seated by 1:45 PM, this means arriving around 1:30 to park and walk to the lawn would be ideal.

Not pinned: Rustic Gatherings Inn. We do not have a confirmed address to map yet — ask us and we will send it.

Campgrounds

Houses on Airbnb and Vrbo

Houses and cabins book quickly for a June weekend. Each town below opens a search for Friday, June 25 through Sunday, June 27, 2027. Stay as close as you can — Pike is the farm village, then Haverhill and Woodsville, then Piermont and Orford down the river.

Haverhill village from the air, white houses along the green with the mountains behind.

Good to know

Questions and answers

A few of these are still being decided. Anything marked as such is our best plan today, and this page is where the final answer will land.

What should we wear?

Garden formal. Summer suits, and midi or long dresses. The ceremony is on grass and the barn has a wood floor, so block heels or flats will treat you better than stilettos. June evenings in the White Mountains cool off quickly — bring a layer for after dark.

Can we bring our kids?

Children are not preferred as we would like to have a more adult-focused party. We understand if you cannot arrange this and we may try to work with you to find a solution.

What happens if it rains?

The celebration goes on. The renovated 1840s barn can hold everyone, so the ceremony moves under cover and dinner and dancing are inside regardless. We will make the call the morning of — you only need a jacket.

Where do we park?

On the farm, at no cost. Follow Jeffers Hill Road to the property and look for signs directing cars. An attendant will be present to direct you to parking. The lot is a short walk from the ceremony lawn.

How do we get there, and is there a shuttle?

Plan to drive. Pike is rural and the last stretch of road is slow, so add time and please sort out a designated driver for the ride home. If we arrange a shuttle from any of the inns, we will post it here.

Still being confirmed

Will I have cell service?

Not reliably. Download directions before you leave town, and save the farm address — 325 Jeffers Hill Road, Pike, NH 03780 — somewhere you can reach offline.

When should we RSVP by?

As soon as you know. One reply per household on the RSVP page covers your whole party, and you can write to us if your plans change later.

What time does the night end?

11:00 PM will be when the wedding officially ends. There is an additional area on the property where the party can continue if desired.

Still have a question?

Write it in the note on your RSVP and we will answer you — and add it here if other guests are wondering the same thing.
