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

There are a select number of cottages inside the gates of Summerland for close friends and family in the wedding party. 

For our other honored guests, we suggest booking a room in advance at The Wauwinet hotel, as accommodation books up quickly here on Nantucket.

*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.
