Wedding Map FAQ

Howdy! We've had a few questions about our online Wedding Map. We've posted the Q&A here as well to help our family and friends navigate the Wedding Map website.

1. Why do you need a Wedding Map?

There are several user-friendly free map websites on the internet, including MapQuest. If you are unfamiliar with the town--or even state!--MapQuest can be tricky because there could be many names for the same road in rural areas. With this map, all the directions you need are in one place.

I was worried about directions to our Church, especially, because the official address is listed simply as "North Street, Chester Vermont." To a person living in the Chester-area, that address makes perfect sense. To my family driving from Pennsylvania or Massachusetts, maybe not. In the case of our church, I actually had to set the map location to a shop--Bonnie's Bundles--across the street in order to set a street address.

2. How do I get Driving Directions?

Go to our Wedding Map and click on any destination marker that you want to get to/from.

Destination markers are small icons representing wedding events or important places. For example, our Reception Site--the Hartness House Inn--is marked by the icon of a wedding cake. There is a list of destination markers and location names on the left-hand side of your screen in a list called, aptly, "Location List."

Chose the destination marker and click "Get Directions."

Directions will appear in a new window for you to print or to copy down by hand.

3. What other information is provided on the Wedding Map?

Chris and I provided information for the closest two bus stations, the closest train station, and the closest airport. All of these services can be found by clicking on their destination icon from the "Location List."

When you click the destination marker for the "WRJ Amtrak Station" you can read:

This station is along the Vermonter line, with service from Philadelphia. This is the closest train station. If you'd like to take Amtrak to our wedding please let us know so we can help to arrange travel from the station.

Call 1-800-USA-RAIL for rates and details.


We have included additional information for each of the transportation destinations to help you make your travel plans and save time.

4. Can we ask you to add locations to the Wedding Map?

Absolutely! Would you like to know the location of the closest Catholic Church so you can attend Mass on Sunday morning before the wedding? We can add that location.

Would you like to take your wife on the Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour or perhaps the Vermont TeddyBear Company Factory Tour? We can add those locations.

Would you like us to add the location of your Bed&Breakfast so you can get directions from your B&B to the wedding locations? Maybe the locations of a few nice restaurants?

Let us know--by calling, emailing, writing, or commenting on this blog--and we will add your location.
