Question
What is "Nonquitt"?
Answer
Welcome to Nonquitt, our setting for the wedding weekend! Located along Buzzard's Bay in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, this little community is like stepping back in time to a slower, sweeter pace of life. Christie's family has been soaking up summers here since the 1920s! Nonquitt is small - just three miles end to end - making it perfect for ditching your car and getting around by foot, bike, or golf cart. While you won't find any stores or restaurants, there are beaches, trails, golf, tennis, and pickleball. Nonquitt is a close-knit community, so we'd appreciate it if you could help keep it peaceful by respecting our neighbors and treating the homes carefully. Remember to take it SLOW, there are kids, dogs, and bikers all around! We can't wait to share this little piece of paradise with you!
