The Most Incredible Wedding Backdrop

Having our wedding at the Pilgrim Monument was one of the best decisions we made. First of all -- it's gorgeous up there, truly feels like you're on top of the world with a gorgeous view of the harbor, and the monument and grounds photograph INCREDIBLY. It was especially fun watching so many of our guests arrive via the funicular -- how many other venues give you that experience??

But more than that, everyone at the monument (especially Melanie!) couldn't have been nicer or more helpful, and worked with our planner and vendors to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch. It was such a magical day and the backdrop of the monument really made it that much better. Can't wait to go back and celebrate our anniversary there!

Wonderful spot, wonderful team

We had our wedding here last fall. The monument is, of course, beautiful and a special wedding venue. But our wedding would have been impossible without the amazing help from the monument's team. If you think about it, to have a wedding there, you need to arrange for a bunch of vendors to get exactly what they need (e.g. electrical sockets, convenient parking, access at various times) and to do exactly what you want (e.g. string lights in just the right places, build the tent far in advance, have a rain plan). The folks at the monument take care of the grounds so it's always in pristine condition, but they made a special effort to help us and our vendors pull off our vision. And they were fun and easy to work with! We'll be staying members of the Monument for a long time.

We had our wedding at the Pilgrim Monument in late September, and it was outstanding (it didn’t hurt that the weather REALLY cooperated). Our 5:00 p.m ceremony was performed on the base of the Monument itself, and then we rented both sides of the grounds, which allowed us to have a cocktail hour on one half, and the reception (including large tent) on the other. There was more than enough space. Guests used the restrooms attached to the museum, while the newlyweds and those with ambulatory issues had access to the small cottage.

We had visited the Monument several times before choosing it as a venue, but once we reserved it, the Monument staff (Tom Cullen) was very helpful. On the day of (and previous day, when we had our rehearsal) Dan was everywhere and attending to our every need. For this venue, you have to bring in/plan everything yourself, but the monument staff made everything run smoothly. Note: it was great to be able to direct guests to park in the large parking lot overnight.
Aside from being spacious, the grounds are well-maintained and beautiful, regardless of the season (great for pictures). Obviously the Monument itself is picturesque, and we like the idea of spotting it on future Cape visits and being reminded of our wedding.

We knew how beautiful the setting was from our trips up there, but we weren't prepared for how magical and stunning it would be at sunset. It was truly wonderful--even better than anticipated. Thank you!!

Provincetown is a special place, and there is no better place to have a wedding then at the monument. Tom and the rest of the staff are wonderful. Very responsive, easy to work with and during the big day are present but not obtrusive, just as another reviewer commented.

The view! So beautiful overlooking the water. There are several different spots you could have your ceremony, and also several different lawns to set up your tent depending on the size of your wedding. The possibilities are endless - you could have your cocktail hour on one lawn and the rest of your party on the other - or even have your cocktail hour inside the museum proper.

It's wonderfully private and was just perfect.

Tom at the monument was great to work with - he was quick to respond and accommodating of our requests. The monument made setting up and cleaning up easy. The staff were professional and hands off during the reception just providing what was needed or asked for, but not stepping in. When we visiting afterwards to drop off a card the staff was very warm and even gave us a little wedding gift.

This was a beautiful venue, even in rainy weather. I was so happy to have the view and the unique feel of being in a tent but up high and out of sight. I would do it all over again in the same place.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
