For that water-as-your-backdrop ceremony, the venues here with standout ocean views are The Nantucket Hotel & Resort, The Wauwinet, Cliffside Beach Club, The Wade Cottages, and 1 more — the horizon does half your decor budget's job.

Want to stay where you celebrate?
These venues offer on-site lodging — rooms, suites, or a beach house steps from the sand, sometimes the whole property for the weekend. A built-in room block for out-of-town guests, no shuttle at last call, and breakfast on the water the morning after.
