Getting There
Flying into RI
There's only one option if you want to fly directly into RI and that's Providence/T.F. Green Airport (Airport code: PVD). We recommend flying into here. It is a small and efficient airport and the closest to our wedding.
It's only about 30-45 minute drive to the wedding venue and 45-60 minutes to Middletown/Newport, depending on traffic.
You can get a lyft or uber here (we recommend lyft as it's a much shorter walk) or a car rental.
Flying into MA and driving to RI
If you really want to, you can fly into Boston Logan Airport (BOS), but know you will be looking at sitting in summer beach traffic, which can be horrendous! What should be 1 hour and 30 minute drive to our wedding venue will likely be 3-5 hours. Car rental would be a must from here.
Amtrak
If you are coming in from NY or NJ, take Amtrak to Kingston Station, RI.
From there you can get a cab or uber to your hotel.
**You cannot pick up a rental car here. You could uber or cab to a nearby rental car location.
