Nantucket Planners — Common Questions
What has to be booked earliest?
Vehicle space on the ferry and accommodation for anyone working the day. Both sell out well ahead in summer, and both are prerequisites for a supplier being able to turn up at all. A signed contract with a team that cannot get a van across is not a booking, it is an intention.
Why do off-island suppliers charge so much more?
Because they are buying crossings, a night or two of rooms in the most expensive weeks of the year, and a day of travel on either side. It is not a surcharge for the address. When you compare quotes, separate the work from the logistics or you will pick the one that hid it.
Is there enough here to hire entirely locally?
For most categories, yes, and it is often the calmer choice. The trade-off is that the same small group of teams is working every good Saturday, so the calendar closes early and your choice narrows to whoever is free rather than whoever you liked best. Deciding early is what keeps the choice open.
What happens if the weather stops the boats?
It happens, mostly to guests rather than to the wedding, and the answer is buffer. Ask people to arrive a day earlier than feels necessary, keep the rehearsal loose, and make sure at least one person who is essential to the ceremony is already on the island the night before.
Do we need a planner if the venue has a coordinator?
A venue coordinator runs the venue, which is a different job from running your day. On an island the gap between the two is wider, because so much of the schedule is off-site: crossings, deliveries, transport between a church and a house. Someone has to own that, and it is not the venue.
