ON BLOCK ISLAND
All wedding events will all take place at the Cushman House located at 1702 Corn Neck Road, Block Island.
To give you an idea of where this is located on the Block Island map please see map to the right.
Due to island limitations, we are not able to provide shuttles and/or buses to the venue. We recommend traveling via taxi as it is down a very long dirt road with limited lighting.
If traveling by taxi, you can say drop off at “Cushman House” or “Fire #1702”. Note, there is no Uber on-island.
We will coordinate taxi transportation following the reception to bring guests back to town where we will keep the party going!
There is limited parking at the house, if you plan to drive to the venue for one or both nights, please reach out to Jackie (401) 633 - 2910 to ensure there is enough parking for everyone.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Block Island is only 6 miles long and 3.5 miles wide so any place you will stay will be just a short drive to the venue!
Visit the below few websites for options on where to stay on-island (please keep in mind, most hotels will have a two-night minimum on weekends).
