Perfect Cape Cod Wedding

From the very first visit to the Lighthouse Inn, we knew we wanted to get married there. It is the perfect quintessential Cape Cod hotel and venue. The staff and wedding coordinator Carri were helpful and responsive from the very first meeting. The ability to have all of our guests stay within walking distance from the wedding and reception was amazing. We cannot say enough good things about the food, it was absolutely delicious and every guest was raving. There were a few very minor things that did not go as expected, but the staff quickly resolved the issues to allow us to just enjoy the night.

Shout out to Daniel who made sure that we (the bride and groom) had a drink and food at all times, he was so super sweet, kind and helpful!

10/10 would recommend the Lighthouse Inn for your wedding. Our family will be making it a yearly tradition to return and enjoy a weekend from now on!

Amazing venue!

We highly recommend the Lighthouse Inn! We were looking for a venue where our friends and family could stay on property with us, where our ceremony could be on the beach (but not in the sand), and was reasonably priced -- the Lighthouse Inn checked all those boxes and more. Carri was great to work with! She helped us efficiently plan the day, she was responsive as questions came up, and very knowledgeable of the property, vendors, and the area. Our wedding was the first of the season, but based on everything, you wouldn't have known. The staff were so attentive, helpful, and friendly. The main house and cottages were all clean and well maintained. We loved getting to have some extra time with guests throughout the weekend, enjoying the property and at the breakfast they offer. Everyone had a great time and many complimented the property. We are so happy we chose the Lighthouse Inn!

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 !!!
