About Us

Unique Nantucket Events started as a vision of lending my knowledge and love of scenic Cape Cod and the beautiful island of Nantucket to future brides and grooms. My name is Nicole Whelden and I am the owner of Unique Nantucket Events. I first came to the magical Nantucket Island in the summer of 1995. I didn’t know it at the time but my future was here and I was about to run headfirst into it. That first summer here made me realize that life can easily change with just a boat ride. It wasn’t long before I met my husband and got married. After my own Nantucket wedding in September of 2001, I decided to share my insight of the island in a way that would make me happy and others learn to cherish the island as much as I do. It wasn’t long before my services expanded across the ocean to Cape Cod where I started planning weddings and events there. That is when Unique Nantucket Events was born. We have been planning weddings on Nantucket since 2001 and on the Cape since 2008 and have assisted so many wonderful couples. I feel very blessed to be doing what I love and living  the best of both worlds, on this amazing island and gorgeous Cape Cod with my husband and our 3 children. I know all too well how stressful and challenging planning a wedding or special event can be.  That dream wedding that you envisioned as a child is within reach. That is where myself and my experienced staff come in. Having studied business and the arts in college and many years in the hospitality field I have landed in the perfect place for both, event planning. I learned early on that these two incredible places hold a special place in the hearts of many people; whether you have lived here your whole life, were lucky enough to travel here for summer vacations or are just discovering it for the first time. Nantucket and the Cape are places of history and beauty that can only be found in just a few locations throughout the world. It is a joy to be part of new beginnings and lifelong friendships, let us be there for you on this journey and make your wedding or event truly unique!
