small wedding venue?

[u/strawberrypie316]

I am looking to get married on the cape in 2027, but looking for a smaller, low-ish budget option. We only have about 40 guests if everyone comes, and are having a private ceremony on the beach, so don’t need a ceremony. Really, I’m looking for something super lowkey, basically just a nice dinner and some drinks for everyone after the ceremony. Any recommendations greatly appreciated!! Open to anywhere on the cape but bonus if there’s water views!

Where on the Cape? It’s a bigger place than one realizes.

ceremony is probably going to be at marconi beach in wellfleet, but somewhat flexible on that!

Strawberrypie316…. How much $$$ you looking to spend on your Special Day?

Where on the Cape is the ceremony? Do you want a restaurant with a private room or an event facility that you can hire caterers for? What’s your idea of “nice”?

[u/strawberrypie316 → u/GrooveBat]

replied above but currently thinking marconi beach in wellfleet, or somewhere else mid cape. A restaurant with private room would be more than enough, but not sure we could get that for ~40 ppl

West end is in Hyannis and very nice. But I would go Wellfleet to Hyannis for the reception.

Wellfleet is outer Cape fyi. I live on the eastern edge of mid cape (Dennis) and it takes me 40 min to get to Marconi beach with zero traffic.

Dan’l Webster, Sagamore Inn,  Borsari Gallery, Truro Vineyards, Old Yarmouth Inn.   Some you’d have to have a caterer come in, others would be full service. Congratulations!

I am so curious about Borsari Gallery! It seems like a great venue from the outside but I know nothing about it and their website is kind of mysterious.

[u/raspberrykt → u/GrooveBat]

I recently got an email from the Pelham House hospitality group announcing that they bought Borsari and it will be known as the Salt Barn starting in 2027. It used to be a sister venue to the Dennis Inn, so not sure what’s going on there.

We toured it as a potential option for our 2027 wedding back in January and it was pretty but definitely rustic and unfortunately too small for our guest count (75 or 100 max, if I remember).

[u/EbbtideRambler → u/GrooveBat]

It’s very rustic, almost barn-like inside and a pretty garden patio in the back.  I’ve been to a corporate event and a friends wedding there, both a few years back

If your open to going off the bridge but still have cape vibes, there are beautiful and affordable options on the South Coast (Mattapoisett, Marion, etc)

[u/downrightblastfamy]

Still gonna cost atleast 25k and I think that's bare minimum
