Coastal Preppy. Polished, classic, and slightly elevated — but not overly formal. Think East Coast prep softened for a celebratory evening by the ocean. The ceremony will be outdoors on our oceanfront deck, so plan for the temperature.
Help us build the ultimate reception playlist! Drop a song or two that will get you on the dance floor.
All wedding weekend events take place at Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa — from the Friday night clambake to Saturday's ceremony, reception, and after party. Stay where the celebration happens.
Gurney's is a luxury oceanfront resort with a world-class seawater spa, private beach, heated ocean-fed pool, and multiple dining options. It's the only resort in the Hamptons located directly on the ocean.
We encourage all guests to stay at Gurney's so you can walk to every event, enjoy the resort amenities, and be part of the full weekend experience.
We've reserved a block of 20 rooms at special rates for the weekend. A two-night minimum stay is required (Friday Oct 23 – Sunday Oct 25).
⚠️ Room block rates are held until May 25, 2026 — book early to secure your preferred room.
You can also call to reserve and mention the Everett & Akre Wedding. For extended stays or questions, contact Cindy Babyak at cindy.babyak@gurneysresorts.com.
We recommend arriving by midday Friday, October 23rd to enjoy the weekend activities.
