Please book your accommodations as early as possible. There are lots of events in town that weekend (college graduations etc.) and some area hotels are already fully booked. Because of this, many area hotels have established a 2-night minimum (Friday and Saturday) for the weekend.
A block of guest rooms has been established for the Taggart/Schiff Wedding at the Boston Marriott Peabody, convenient to the venue as well as nearby historic Salem.
