MARTHAS VINEYARD IS MADE UP OF 6 TOWNS…

OAK BLUFFS

Oak Bluffs is the liveliest of the Vineyard’s towns – more high-spirited than haute. From the colorful gingerbread cottages to the Flying Horses carousel, from Ocean park to harbor bars, Oak Bluffs delivers on fun. ​ This is where all of the wedding events will take place.

 

EDGARTOWN

Edgartown, located on the eastern side of the Island, is a delightful mix of old world charm and wide open spaces.

Originally settled by whaling captains, the town center retains the historic architecture of the whaling captains’ homes, some of which are private homes, and many of which have been converted into inns, restaurants and one-of-a-kind shops and cafes.

 

VINEYARD HAVEN

Vineyard Haven, the beautiful working harbor village in the town of Tisbury is not only the year-round port for Martha’s Vineyard, it also boasts a really fun and diverse Cultural District.

 

WEST TISBURY

West Tisbury, with its white church steeple, historic general store, small farm stands and cool ponds is the quintessential New England village.

 

AQUINNAH

Aquinnah is the western most town on the Vineyard and among its many gems, offers the absolute perfect perch for over-water sunsets in Massachusetts.

 

CHILMARK

Chilmark contains not only the quaint, authentic fishing village of Menemsha, but is also is a town of rolling hills overlooking the ocean, tree-lined country roads dotted with small farm stands.
