Here are some suggestions if you are looking for places to stay. Although the first weekend in September is the start of the off-season in Maine, it is still busy so try to book accomodations as soon as possible. We will be providing transportation between the wedding site and some local hotels/motels and local Airbnbs. If you are interested in using our transportation, please let us know when you RSVP.
The Lincoln Hotel is the only option right in Biddeford center, about a 6 miles/13 minute drive from the event. It's newly renovated, quite swanky, and has a cocktail bar and rooftop pool, with rooms starting at $320/night. They require a 2 night minium according to the website, but you may be able to book a single night by calling them directly.
The Holiday Inn is located right off of I95 on the route North from Boston, about 8 miles/17 minute drive from the event, and is slightly more reasonably priced than the Lincoln with rooms starting around $300/night. Update - so far no one has decided to stay here, therefore if you plan on taking the trolley we highly suggest staying at the Lincoln Hotel instead. The Lincoln Hotel will be a designated trolley pick up point. If you have already booked the Holiday Inn and would like to take the trolley, please reach out to us!
The Cape Porpoise Motel is a cute, no-frills family inn with 7 rooms (~$175/night), about 7 miles/10 minute drive from the event.
Sandy Pines Campground offers traditional tent and RV sites as well as a range of “glamping” (glamorous camping) options like huts, cabins, cottages, and upscale tents that range from $200 – 470/night. These are located 4.5 miles / an 8 minute drive from the event.
There are quite a few hotels and motels in the Old Orchard Beach Area, which is a resort area north of Biddeford (~10 miles/22 minute drive). Please note, guests staying in Old Orchard Beach will need to arrange their own transport to/from the wedding at these locations.
Finally, we researched quite a few Airbnb and VRBO options, linked here. These can be very reasonably priced especially if you are travelling with a group! If you find an option and have questions about the neighborhood or location, please don't hesitate to reach out.
