Nantucket Inn

From accommodations (2 nights), to cuisine, to reception venue, to beverage and onsite coordination - it's an all in one package completely worth the value. First of all, working with Matt and Caren, the new owners of the Inn was an overall great experience. We could tell they were still working out some of the kinks with venue contracts and communicating some of the details - but you could really feel their heart and fun personalities in every encounter. Their biggest desire was for us to be happy and they were completely willing to figure out how to make anything we wanted happen. I think they had such strong desires to please it mistakenly came off as lackadaisical - but they proved time and time again, that was not the case. I think we just weren't used to hearing "yes, we can make that happen" to almost everything (not that we were asking crazy things). They just came as the whole thing from a very customer-service-oriented mindset and it was refreshing. Only recommendation is to keep on top of communication and be detailed in what you want and what your costs will be up front, and you won't have issues (Caren will work with you on this; again, they are just greener in the business). Family was so important to us on our special day. I had extended family in from out of state and the fact that we had the whole place to ourselves (all eight rooms) gave us the perfect meeting and gathering space. Hotels are nice, but the big comfy and warm living room and dining room really allowed us all to come together while still allowing privacy and our own spaces in the big spacious rooms. For anyone looking for a family-focused day, I couldn't recommend any other space more than this one. On top of the great possibilities this space offers, the inside space for a morning-after brunch, the onsite rooms and suites (for bridal party prep and family stay), the outside garden/courtyard and gazebo, and the little area for a bar, Matt's business, Anchor Catering, also offers DELICIOUS onsite catering from the basement-level of the place. They coordinated working staff, buffet, linens, tables, cutlery and drinking glasses - it was all taken care of. He brought the bride, groom and both sets of parents in for a food and beverage tasting - he made the decision so difficult by making everything SO AMAZING. Strongly recommend the 14-hour beef brisket wit his special BBQ sauce, the beef medallions, and the eggplant parm. He also worked with us to include the local vendors for the food as we are from an agriculture-based industry. He coordinated for our special strawberry shortcake dessert with vanilla ice cream, too! We really made this team work as we had them cook for our morning after brunch. Honestly, all around package deal. I wouldn't have been happier at any other venue - it really provided anything and everything to make us comfortable and relaxed, while still facilitating an amazing day.
