You must hire Lindsey and Washington Inn!

Working with Lindsey and the team at Washington Inn was an absolute joy from start to finish. From the very beginning, Lindsey was organized, attentive, and on top of every detail, which made us feel completely confident that everything would go smoothly. The compliments from our guests have been endless! People are still raving about the incredible service at the bar — our bartenders truly made the experience unforgettable.
The food was amazing! Our guests are still talking about the Crab Cake and Short Rib! The food was served hot to every guest which is quite the feat for a 257-person wedding! If you're planning a wedding in Cape May, Washington Inn and Lindsey are an absolute must-have.
What truly made our experience special, though, was Lindsey herself. She’s not only incredibly professional but also so warm and personable, which made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. She even took the time to capture our last dance on camera — a moment we’ll forever treasure. We could not have been happier with our experience and are so grateful to Lindsey and Washington Inn for making our wedding day our favorite day ever.

Cape May Wedding at the Vineyard

Lindsey was GREAT to work with! She went out of her way to accommodate my niece’s vegan/vegetarian needs , was in good communication throughout the whole planning stage, helped direct us in terms of what we would need for rentals and present and attentive from setup to the actual reception. I will miss communicating with her! Highly recommend!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
