No matter how boisterous a wedding gets at Nantucket’s Galley Beach, there’s always that moment when all eyes take in the dazzling sunset over the bay. “The choreography of the evening revolves around the sun,” event planner Maureen Sullivan says of the nuptials that take place at this elegant restaurant (a former lunch shack now frequented by the likes of Robert De Niro and Catherine Zeta-Jones), which is literally a stone’s throw from the ocean’s edge. But the pièce de résistance comes at the end of the night for many couples: Barefoot, with his pants rolled up, a groom scoops up his bride and carries her, shoes dangling from her hand, through the surf to an awaiting Hinckley picnic boat while fireworks light up the sky behind them. “It gives me chills every time,” Sullivan says. 54 Jefferson Ave., Nantucket, 508-228-9641, galleybeach.net.Photograph by Claudia Kronenberg Photography
