From the reviews
We had a beautiful wedding at the Lighthouse Inn on 10/13/2024 at 1130am. We and some of our guests (40 out of out 130 guests) stayed on site and had a blast. The cottages were the typical quaint and rustic Cape vibe that we love.
Just wanted to say that we had a beautiful amazing wedding for our daughter at the Lighthouse Inn last week. We were treated with a high level of professionalism with a mix of love for our daughters wedding. Everyone who assisted were exceptional. The venue and its iconic location was spectacular.
Getting married at Lighthouse Inn
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
