​Salem 2023, but first a spell...

​Now it begins, O brightling witch!
Our gracious bride is getting hitched!
The tolling bells that summon thee
To partake in all the witchery!

​​Amidst the dark autumnal skies, 
hear the raucous, howling cries!
Enchant thy soul with moon's entrance
and spirits wrought by celestial dance!

​Our Friday ritual shall sate thy soul, 
Though Saturday's spells are too our goal-
Our conjurings cease come Sunday night
But tis’ Monday morn we take final flight.

​​So cometh friend, call a mirthful spell, 
And cast forth in Salem, where we soon shall dwell.
We’ll charm the air with radiant sound,
So hallowed shall be our antic round
That those who upon us gaze will say, 
“Beware the witches who come to play!"

​​DETAILS

​​FRIDAY

​​It’s our first night and the fun begins to brew after the coven gathers. Following a simple dinner we’ll play some bachelorette games to hype us up and watch a spooky movie to wind us down before officially stepping foot onto Salems hallowed ground tomorrow.

​Evening theme: Pj’s and Potions!

​​SATURDAY

​​Today begins with a relaxing brunch at the airbnb (probably) before heading into town around noon (or whenever). We have nothing on the books until our ghost tour at 10pm so the whole day is ours to roam. A Salem landmark is the bewitched statue at the center of town and the perfect starting point for us to begin exploring. A couple of noteworthy historic sites to check out are The Witch House, Ropes Mansion, The House of the Seven Gables and Old Town Hall.

​Here is a map of some of the places to check out. All of the must see’s have a purple star icon!

​Since it’s going to be a long day we’re probably going to need some downtime so we can head back to the airbnb to reset for a bit. There’s a private beach we have access to within walking distance which is a great opportunity for us to take some cute sunset bridal party pics. Later at night is our ghost tour so we can head back to town a little earlier for dinner and wait for the tour to begin.

​Attire: Black! That’s it, that’s the vibe…just kidding kind of. Today we’re seeing some of Salems history so dress like a basic witch because pics or it didn’t happen. Personally, I’m just gonna do my best Stevie Nicks cosplay and call it a day. Also, I’d recommend wearing or bringing comfy shoes.

​SUNDAY

​​The final day is upon us and we have our session at Witchpix at 12:30. We can opt for breakfast at the airbnb or venture into town BUT we’ll want to make sure we give ourselves time to be photo ready. Afterwards we can collectively decide what else we feel like doing. There are a couple of museums close by and other sites we’d have to drive to or we can just opt to stay in town and then end our night with some dinner at a restaurant (Ledgers? Rockafellas?) If we’re in the mood we can also grab drinks or dessert somewhere before heading back to the airbnb.

​MONDAY

​​So many spells to cast, so little time :( After we load up our broomsticks we can either fly straight home or have breakfast in town and then part ways.

​Attire: Just wear your brightest smile lol

​FOOD AND DRINK

​​There really are no strict rules when it comes to where we eat, but we want to try and have a breakfast/brunch and a sit down dinner in town at least once, but the specific days don’t matter. We can vote as a coven for the best option and cast out any witch who disagrees.

​Gulu-gulu cafe - casual eats, good for some downtime
Ledger restaurant - nicer spot for dinner
Dire Wolf Tavern - dranks

​​ATTIRE

​​We’re here for the witch content. Rolling fog, candlelight, cool nights, and a full moon in the sky will be the mood. Think vampy vibes and a dark color palette.

​We’d really like to set aside a time to do our own little outdoor bridal party photoshoot around the airbnb (Saturday probably), just to avoid only having touristy pics in town. Please bring a black dress to wear. The flowier the better! We have a few props to use, but if everyone could get a witch hat that would be dope.

​​PAYMENT

​​As witches we normally place hexes on those foolish enough to ask us for money, but thankfully not within the coven. So our resident Damsel of Debauchary, Deanna will create a Splitwise page for us to join for groceries and such.

​​FAQs

​​Do we have to strictly abide by this itinerary?
Yes, or you’ll be hexed. Jk, with the exception of the ghost tour and Witchpix we can absolutely play it by ear and see what the vibes are at any given moment. I left it vague on purpose because we are strong women with free will goddamn it

​What's the weather going to be like?
It’ll likely be pretty warm. Single layered outfits should be fine, but I’d bring a jacket just in case. Also, wear comfortable shoes or bring some at least! 

Is Jill going to complain if she has to walk more than five feet?
Yes, but give her some water and keep her out of direct sunlight and she should be fine.
