The winning couple will receive:

  • A complimentary two-night stay

  • An elopement ceremony 
  • Custom and personally designed silver wedding bands in a private workshop with local goldsmiths

"Over the past year, healthcare workers have been working tirelessly on the front lines, putting their lives on hold and sacrificing their time for the health and wellbeing of others," said Whaler's Inn president Amanda Arling. "Many couples have had to postpone their wedding plans, so we want to honor them. All of us at The Whaler's Inn, along with our Mystic partners, are excited to give one deserving couple an unforgettable elopement celebration to express our gratitude for all their hard work."
