From the reviews
As an interfaith wedding rabbi and officiant, I have had the privilege of celebrating weddings in some of the most beautiful coastal destinations in the country, and the White Elephant Nantucket is one of those rare venues that perfectly captures the romance and charm of New England by the sea.
Our stay was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The staff provided truly outstanding hospitality—warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making every aspect of our visit memorable.
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, the property itself was absolutely beautiful! It was clean, well-maintained, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. A special shoutout to Alisha, who truly went above and beyond for us. She was incredibly kind, professional, and helpful during our stay.
Classicly Nantucket! We went for an anniversary getaway- the champagne and chocolates waiting in the room were a nice touch! The rooms are understated elegance, and so comfortable. But the real standout element of our stay was the staff! Everyone was so attentive - every door was opened with a smile.
Getting married at White Elephant Nantucket
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
