We look forward to seeing you soon at what will be a wedding to remember. #WeddingOfTheYear #WinburyWedding
Schedule
The Wedding Weekend
Celebrate the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Winbury at the Winbury family’s beachfront compound, Summerland, where we previously gathered for the couple’s poolside engagement soirée last year. As you all well know, the property has been in Tag’s family for five generations.
The Rehearsal Dinner
Join the Winburys and their closest friends on Summerland Beach on Friday evening to sip summer cocktails under white tents festooned with beach roses and Lucite chandeliers. Guests will enjoy Pemaquid oysters from Damariscotta River, Maine, and platters of lobster steamed in seaweed. It’s a clambake, after all.
Dress code: Cocktail
The Wedding
The nuptials will take place at Summerland on Saturday at 4 p.m. The cake will be a five-tier buttercream dream, and there’ll be oysters from Emil’s down Polpis Harbor.
Dress code: Black tie
The Post-Wedding Brunch
On Sunday, a lavish brunch will send the newlyweds off to Fiji on their honeymoon in style.
Dress code: Semiformal

Places To Stay

*Note: Would not recommend staying at the Sand Dollar Motel.
Things To Do
Nantucket is a dollhouse town with cobblestone streets and cedar-shingled, white-trimmed mansions lining the shore. You’ll find plenty to do in this coastal utopia.
Explore Sconset Beach, visit the Brant Point Lighthouse, stroll through Bartlett’s farm stand (on the Winbury family tab!), or bribe Tag to take you out on the water in one of our custom boats. This town is your oyster.
