Trolley Details

Okay, we have finalized the Trolley/School Bus transportation to and from the farm. We decided on providing transportation so that everyone could enjoy themselves and not have to worry about driving in unfamiliar territory after a day of festivities.
There will be 2 trolleys available to take everyone to the farm. They will both leave at 12:30. One (the white school bus) will be leaving from the Courtyard Marriott (1000 Market Street · Portsmouth, New Hampshire 03801). The other trolley will be leaving from The Port Inn (505 US Highway 1 Byp  Portsmouth, NH 03801). 
Coming back from the White Gate, there will be a trolley coming back to Portsmouth at both 6 and 8 o'clock.
There will  be parking at the White Gate, for those that would rather or need to drive. We will have signs up for parking and one of the kids what works on the farm will be helping park cars.  

Things to Eat around Portsmouth

So after you get done with all your "things to do" you may want to kick back and grab a bite or a drink...or both. Here is a list of places we recommend while you are in town. We also would like to remind everyone (I think we posted it earlier) that it is UNH graduation weekend. That means it will be very busy in town. The 'finer' dinning restaurants (as well as all hotels; see post below) will book early! If you are looking for a great meal (which there are plenty to be had) please consider making reservations early. Here's the list...

The Kitchen Deli - owned and run by a few guys from the City (You know which one I mean) Juliana has been working here for the past few months and Caleb and I eat there (at least) once a week. Hey, we trust these guys enough to cater our rehearsal dinner AND our wedding.Whether you go into the restaurant to eat during the weekend or not, you will thoroughly enjoy what these guys are capable of!

The Black Trumpet Bistro - I have a soft spot for this place. I worked there for almost 5 years. Amazing food and great people. They will fill up early on graduation weekend. If you want to enjoy the best fine dining in the area, please visit them, but make sure to call and reserve a table. You may see some of their faces at the wedding (I think we invited half of the staff!)

TJ's Restaurant of Portsmouth. Tj's is right in the heart of downtown Portsmouth. They have an awesome menu and is a great place for everyone to sit, enjoy a beer, a great plate of nachos (or Caleb's favorite- sliders) and a laugh. Bethany, the owner (and long time friend) has been kind enough to reserve us the back bar room for the night before the wedding. A bit more on that to come. 

Colby's Breakfast and Lunch Great place for breakfast! It is small and the largest table squeezes 6. It will fill up early. They do not take call ahead reservations, but they do offer coffee while you wait. 

Cafe Kilim Need Coffee in the morning? This is your place. 

Gilley's Lunch Truck This is classic Portsmouth staple. It has national recognition and is one of the oldest lunch trucks around. PLEASE BE AWARE, as the hours get later, the patrons get a bit seedier. It is open for lunch, but also stays open until after the bars close. Best to grab a dog while the sun is up. 

The Black Birch This place was just opened by some friends of mine and is REALLY incredible. If you like (LOVE) beer and enjoy great food, please check them out. They are small and they fill up quickly, so go early or call ahead.

Morrison's Lobsters AWESOME place for lobsters, with a great feel. It is BYOB, so plan accordingly. ALSO (found this out the hard way) TIP IS INCLUDED in the bill! It's a great LITTLE place to enjoy some sunshine, a beer and some lobster.

Street (Eat and drink 360) I helped open and worked here for 9 months. Great place to grab some 'street food from around the word'. They've got tons of stuff that you won't find anywhere else in town. They seat just shy of 100 people, so they can be accommodating to large parties (and children). They also serve a wonderful brunch on sundays.

Directions and transportation

We are getting married at White Gate Farm in Epping, NH. If you need directions to the farm please click here (on the word 'here').
We will be providing the following transportation options so as everyone can enjoy the festivities and not have to worry about driving back to Portsmouth. Leaving from Portsmouth at 12:30 will be one trolley and one 'school bus type vehicle' (that what he trolley driver called it. We are as interested as you to see what it actually looks like.). Total that will be able to take 75 people to the farm. Coming back from the farm, there will be the 'school bus type vehicle' making 2 trips back to Portsmouth, one at 6 and one at 8. People do have the option of leaving their car at the farm, but it is up to you to retrieve it. Not specific enough?? Still have questions??

Wondering what to wear?

Its a farm party!!!! We are going for 'casual' as the theme of the day. There will be a roasted pig, keg beer and lawn games. Come dressed in comfortable clothes ready for eating, dancing and general merriment. There are no ties required here...but if you feel so inclined, go for it.
