Where to Stay
As Nantucket is known for their boutique hotels and intimate inns, they unfortunately do not offer wedding room blocks due to high demand. We have included some recommendations below located in town, and walking distance to the most popular destinations (and with close proximity to our wedding venue)! These are just a few of our favorites, there are plenty of additional options on the island in addition to VRBO + Airbnb rental options as well.
Hotels on Nantucket tend to open for booking anywhere from 6-10 months in advance of the island’s busy Spring / Summer seasons. Please feel free to contact your hotel of choice directly, as they will be able to assist over the phone and let you know when available to book (we’ve found that calling the hotel directly for assistance is best as each hotel is truly on their own schedule). We do recommend contacting the hotel as soon as possible to verify and ensure accommodations.
Another thing to note: it is common for some of the hotel sites to say they are fully booked or “sold out” on their reservations page when booking in advance of the 2022 Spring/Summer season. Sometimes this just means the hotels aren’t available to book as of yet for the 2022 Spring/Summer season, and we still recommend calling the hotel directly to confirm. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions as we are happy to help, and have spoken with each hotel below directly and can advise where possible.
