Formal invitation to follow

A weekend by the sea

Our favorite people.
One of our favorite places.

We’re beyond excited to bring you together on Nantucket. A little island getaway, harbor views, and a wedding at the heart of it all. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Your island home

Stay with us

Our room block spans two beloved properties: the White Elephant Hotel, our waterfront home for the celebration, and the Jared Coffin House, a grand downtown landmark. Both are held at preferred rates, and a complimentary hotel shuttle runs from the ferry docks to the White Elephant.

The booking link is set for June 24–27, 2027. Summer on the island books early, so we recommend reserving your stay soon.

We’re reaching out to several hotels about group rates, and we’ll share any extra booking details as they come through. If a place shows no availability for your dates. Don’t be discouraged, most island properties haven’t opened their summer 2027 calendars yet and release rooms between late fall and early winter. We’re confirming exactly when each one opens and asking them to hold space for our guests.

Thirty miles out to sea

Make your way to Nantucket

A place worth the journey. Book flights, ferries, and accommodation early, and leave a little time to wander the cobblestones and watch the boats cross the harbor.

By sea

Hy-Line Cruises and the Steamship Authority sail from Hyannis. High-speed passenger ferries take about an hour; the traditional Steamship ferry takes about two hours and fifteen minutes and can carry cars.

Seastreak also offers passenger service from New Bedford, a handy alternative to driving through Cape Cod.

Seastreak

By air

Fly into Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK). Boston and New York offer direct flights, and JetBlue, American, and Delta also connect other East Coast cities in season. From the airport, taxis, rideshares, and the WAVE bus take you into town.

Seasonal routes and schedules vary; check availability for your dates.

Cape Air

Once you’re here, slow down.

We suggest leaving your car behind. Town is walkable, bikes make exploring easy, and taxis, Uber, Lyft, and the free WAVE shuttle help with longer trips.

The beginning of this chapter

A perfectly imperfect proposal

On September 5, 2026, Aaron planned to propose at Leah’s family home on Lake Winnipesaukee. A torrential downpour nearly rewrote the plan. But the storm broke just in time for our families to create a flower-filled surprise by the water. Surrounded by the people we love, and joined by Max right after the “Yes!” we began our next chapter. Now, we can’t wait to celebrate in our other happy place: Nantucket.
