Nantucket Tents, formally known as Sperry Tents of Nantucket, first opened its doors in 1999 providing tents for weddings, parties, and special events on Nantucket Island. Sperry Tents of Nantucket was the first of its kind to open an official Sperry Tent territory outside of the original Sperry Tents headquarter in Marion, Massachusetts. As the demand for both tents and events grew on Nantucket, Ande realized the business was due for an expansion. Ande met Adam in 2008 and they soon realized that they were a great match, making the partnership official in 2009. Together they decided to purchase Chase Canopies, which led to what we now know as Nantucket Tents. After 22 years, events are still Nantucket Tents true passion.
