WHERE DO WE

The guests of Trish and Henrys
wedding all meet on Harpers
Island which is a fictionalized
island off the Lower Bay area in
New York (passed Staten
Island, almost in New Jersey).
They all meet in the local
speakeasy which is about 20
minutes from the Harpers
Island Hotel where they are
spending the weekend and
where the wedding will be
held.

HOW TO GET FROM THE
SPEAKEASY TO HARPERS
ISLAND HOTEL

The poorer guests would


walk to go get their cars and 1917 Chevrolet Series D
they would be from previous
years and older models than
the higher class guests cars.

The wealthier guests would


have attendants to bring
their newer cars brought for
them. They would also have 1920 Rolls Royce
drivers.
HARPERS
ISLAND HOTEL

Harper Island Hotel looks


over the water of the lower
bay area onto the view of
the city lights.

There is an observation
deck instead of a beach

Trish gets call and


telegrams from Hunter at
the hotel
