The Quintessential Nantucket Wedding Experience

Nestled along the northeast end of the island, between the ocean and bay, The Wauwinet is an iconic luxury resort for a Nantucket wedding. We offer beautiful waterfront venues, award-winning catering, and the coastal charm of our historic waterfront hotel.

At the snap of a finger, our 33 guest rooms, cottages, and scenic grounds can be turned into a private retreat for your wedding party. The hotel can be reserved, decorated, and catered to your unique vision and is accessible by land or by charter boat. The entire staff is dedicated to making your wedding celebration unforgettable.
