Summer

As many of you may have seen, Hurricane Melissa caused significant damage across Jamaica, which unfortunately impacted Half Moon. We were recently notified that the resort will not be able to accommodate our wedding in 2026. We still very much wanted to be married in 2026 and were grateful to secure a new date—Friday, July 24, 2026—at <a href="https://www.chathambarsinn.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chatham Bars Inn</a> in Chatham, Massachusetts. Cape Cod is a place that holds special meaning for us, where we’ve spent many summers with family and friends, and we’re so excited to share a piece of it with you all.
