Thanks for a WONDERFUL wedding weekend experience !!

We chose The Lighthouse Inn for my daughter's wedding, booking a dozen rooms for Friday & Saturday nights, and planning our Saturday afternoon ceremony and reception. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to have one of the few rain-free weekends of the summer of 2023, so our ceremony was outside, and guests could enjoy all of the indoor and outdoor amenities of this lovely venue. The beach setting provided a relaxing and fun atmosphere, and the scenery and views were spectacular.

The facilities offered something for everyone, and everything was clean and very well-maintained. The staff could not have been any more professional, courteous, and responsive to our needs. Our venue coordinator, Carri Hicks, was so helpful, informative, patient, and fun from our first meeting a year ago to our last goodbye hug at the end of the weekend. The reservation and concierge staff, William, Tiana, and Patrick, always aimed to please as they responded to numerous changes to bookings in the weeks before the wedding, and our endless questions during the wedding weekend. The food at the wedding, in the lower level cafe, and at the breakfast buffet was great, and the kitchen staff and servers were so nice, attentive, and professional.

Everyone who attended -- our family and friends from near and far -- were all pleased with every aspect of our weekend at The Lighthouse Inn. Thank you for such a wonderful wedding weekend experience !!!

Best weekend ever!

We were married here Memorial Day weekend and stayed in one of the cottages. Carri Hicks was amazing to work with! She was so helpful, fun and easy to work with. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The staff was friendly and so helpful and accommodating. The location is gorgeous and family friendly. We can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!

Lighthouse Inn Wedding 9/25

We got married at The Lighthouse Inn on September 25th. If you're looking for something with old Cape Cod style beachy charm, this place is 100% it. The view cannot be beat, and the pricing was some of the most reasonable we found when searching for our wedding venue. We had our ceremony performed next to the beach and our reception inside and everything could not have been more perfect (besides the gusty wind, which is to be expected being so close to the water). Carri was our in-house coordinator and she made sure that everything went according to schedule and to plan. She was always available to answer my many questions. The night before the wedding (and the night of the wedding) we (the bride and groom) stayed in one of the one bedroom cottages. The cottages had plenty of space for us to get ready with our bridal parties the morning of the wedding and were just as quaint and adorable as the rest of the venue. Thank you again for a day we won't forget!
