Magical Wedding Day

My daughter and son-in-law just celebrated their 3- month wedding anniversary. Their wedding at the Coonamessett was absoluely magical and exceeded our expectations in every way. Dawn, the wedding planner, was so organized and helped us every step of the way. The vendors she recommended were outstanding and the guests clearly had a wonderful time. Everything from start to finish was amazing. I wish we could do it all over again!!

10/10 Recommend

From the very beginning, Dawn and Claire’s experience was evident through their clear communication, professionalism, and exceptional attention to detail. They met with us three times and were always available for phone calls to go over every aspect of the weekend—something I truly appreciated.

The bridesmaid got ready in the Lark Suite, which was beautiful and spacious for hair/makeup, followed by pictures with 5 bridesmaids.

We hosted our welcome drinks downstairs, and it was the perfect space—beautiful, inviting, and exactly what we envisioned. On the wedding day, Claire and Dawn seamlessly coordinated with our vendors and brought our vision to life, allowing us to enjoy the day with minimal stress.

Our reception couldn’t have been more perfect. We chose the gold reception (buffet-style), and guests are still raving about the food—from the raw bar to the carving station and all the other delicious options. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. The indoor space was elegant, and the outdoor patio added such a special touch.

If you're considering a Cape Cod wedding, I can't recommend the Coonamessett Inn highly enough—it was everything we hoped for and more.

The best!!

Our October 2024 wedding at The Coonamessett was incredible!! The ballroom is so beautiful, airy and classic, which was one of the things that initially drew us to the venue. Dawn was wonderful to work with, and is excellent at her job. We had several in person meetings with her during the planning process and she answered all of our questions with ease. We got so many compliments from guests about how great the food was, how much they loved the space, and how beautiful the grounds were. We had the absolute best day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
