June 25–27, 2027
Nantucket holds a special place in our hearts, and we're thrilled to celebrate here with our favorite people. Our wedding is at The White Elephant on Saturday, June 26, 2027. Late June is peak season, when the island's blue and white hydrangeas are in full bloom, so rooms and ferries fill up early. We recommend booking as soon as you can.
Stay with us
If you'd like to stay at the venue, we've reserved a block of rooms at preferred rates. Bonus: guests in our block get a free hotel shuttle from the ferry docks right to the property.
Booking link and block details coming soon.
Island alternatives
We want everyone to be comfortable, so we've found a few lovely places beyond the big resorts. Each one has classic New England charm and is close to the celebration.

By air
Flying straight into Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) is the fastest way here, especially from New York or Boston. Summer flights sell out, so book early.
ACK is about 3.5 miles from town. There are taxis right outside, Uber and Lyft, and the free WAVE bus every 20–30 minutes.
By sea
The ferry is a relaxing way to arrive. We suggest leaving your car behind. The island is very walkable, parking is tight, and car reservations on the ferry can fill up a year ahead.

On the island
Nantucket's bus network is completely free. Main routes connect town, the airport, and the beaches every 15–30 minutes until late.
You'll find taxis at the airport and ferry docks. Flat rates are set by zone, usually $15–$25 across town.
Both run all summer. Tip: request rides 15–20 minutes early between 4:30 and 5:30 PM, when everyone's heading out.
