Mark will challenge the duo with a sort of "pre-wedding boot camp" to test their compatibility.
Welcome to Everly and our spoiler-free guide to all the filming locations of To Have and To Holiday.
The To Have and To Holiday location
As Celeste and Jason arrive in Everly, there is an establishing shot of the famous churches along the waterfront in Mahone Bay, located about 7 miles (11 kilometers) from Chester.
