The perfect Cape Cod wedding venue!

The Lighthouse Inn was the perfect venue to bring our vision of a classic Cape Cod wedding to life. The charm, the views, and the overall atmosphere were exactly what we had imagined. The coordinator, Carri, was amazing to work with - organized, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. The staff was incredibly professional and attentive, and everything was set up exactly how we described. Our guests kept talking about the delicious food and how great the service was throughout the entire event. Compared to other popular Cape venues, The Lighthouse Inn was also a bit more reasonable, without sacrificing anything in quality or experience. We recommend it to any couple dreaming of the perfect Cape Cod wedding!

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!

Don't Skip this Quintessential Cape Cod Venue!

The Lighthouse Inn is a venue you won't want to skip. We recently got married at the LHI on 6/10 and it truly encaptures old cape cod - and what the Cape is all about! As a Dennis local, we wanted somewhere where family and friends could gather, and that people could enjoy whether from near of far. From the beach to the pool, tennis (made into pickleball) courts, mini golf and cornhole - there was something for everyone to do!
From the staff, to cottages, service and everything inbetween the LHI did not disappoint. Carri, the Event Manager, was top notch. She took care of every detail, from soup to dessert, ceremony and beyond. Carri plans events with such ease, and a calm demeanor - there truly is nothing to stress over - and nothing she won't work her magic to try to accommodate and bring your vision to life.
Our weekend at the LHI is unforgettable and unbeatable thanks to everyone at the Inn!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
