SEASONAL SCOOP: If guests are looking to stay in town after the wedding is over, send them to All Seasons Vacation Rentals. Then have Auntie Vi’s full-service rental company deliver necessities like linens or beach chairs so their place is fully stocked upon arrival.

GUEST EXCURSION: “Going through the heart of the Cape’s villages and towns is still a great way to experience the area,” says Chagnon. Recommend a drive down Route 6 to Provincetown — or charter the Chatham Bars Inn’s 52-foot private jet boat and shuttle guests to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard in style.
