Block Island Planners — Common Questions
Why do Block Island vendors ask about my date so far ahead?
Because their equipment travels as ferry freight, and freight space in summer is spoken for weeks before the sailing. A mainland vendor who has not held that space cannot serve you whatever the contract says. Ask any off-island supplier which sailing their gear is booked on.
Should I hire vendors based on the island or on the mainland?
Island vendors already own the crossing problem and price it in. Mainland vendors can be excellent and often cost less on paper, then add freight, travel time and a night of lodging for the crew. Compare the two on the delivered total rather than the day rate.
What happens to my flowers if the boat does not run?
Rough weather cancels sailings, and nothing about a wedding changes that. The practical answer is to have perishables arrive a day early with somewhere cool to sit, and to build the room from what is already on the island rather than what is due to land that morning.
How early do guests need to book their own crossing?
Earlier than they will believe. Summer passenger sailings and vehicle spaces sell out, so put the ferry information in the save the date rather than the invitation, and name the specific sailing you want people on.
Do we need cars on the island at all?
Most couples decide not to. Vehicle space on the boat is the scarcest thing there is, and the island is small enough that a shuttle between the ceremony and the reception solves the problem for everyone at once.
