My wife and I were searching for a wedding venue in Cape May that would accommodate a smaller guest list on a weekend day; we also wanted to prioritize the reception food for our guests, and had heard that Peter Shields is the best in town (it is!). As soon as we walked into the inn, we knew we had found our venue and right after called another venue to cancel the other tour we had scheduled that day. Not only is the inn right across the street from the beach (with ocean views from the reception area and guest rooms), it is also a beautiful historic building. Amy, their in-house event coordinator, was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. I was an anxious bride and in the lead up to the wedding I lost count of all the emails I sent her with my questions, which she fully and promptly answered. We also brought A LOT of decor with us (we used silk flowers for our florals), which Amy and her team set up beautifully the morning of. As for the wedding day itself, staying over the night before and after with all our family members is something I'll never forget. PSI was a stunning backdrop to the ceremony, which was held on the front steps of the inn and lawn. It was the perfect space for our 60-person wedding, and during the reception guests flowed easily from the covered porch, to the dance floor, to the bar and dining room. Additionally, my biggest worry was that not many people would dance, with it being a smaller daytime wedding, but the dance floor was packed the entire time! So many guests came up to us to tell us that ours was one of the best weddings they'd every been to, and we have PSI, Amy, and all of the staff to thank for making our dream wedding come true!

My husband and I had a small, intimate wedding at Peter Shields Inn on 11/30/2023 and it was truly a perfect day.

Amy, the event coordinator, is amazing to work with! Leading up to the wedding, she was responsive and so helpful in answering my many questions. Our wedding day was amazing and Amy was a huge part of making our day so special. She was so organized and on top of everything, which make my day stress free.

The venue itself is beautiful! When we got married, the Inn was decorated for the holidays. The decor was timeless and classy with silvers and gold, which meant that we really didn't need to bring much more in for decor. I appreciated that they are a BYOB venue, so I saved a lot of money on alcohol. The food was AMAZING. Our family is still talking about how great the food was over a month later.

I can't recommend Peter Shields Inn enough!

Our wedding dinner at PSI was AMAZING. The food was AMAZING. The service was AMAZING. Everyone was so kind and really went out of their way to help you. They made me feel relaxed and able to enjoy myself. I cannot say enough about Amy, PSI’s event coordinator. She was very responsive and helped me plan the whole dinner. She sent me recommendations and answered every question I had. We had a small wedding of about 30 people and this was the PERFECT location. 100/10.
