The Cape Club of Sharon

ocess. She was always so kind and offered her expertise in planning that helped our wedding day be the best day ever. Even when things went wrong on the wedding day with our vendors (e.g., our wedding cake was missing!), Vanessa and her staff did everything in their power to solve the problem. Vanessa was even ready to send her staff to the store to buy us a cake!! When our cake did eventually arrived, it wasn't in the best condition, and Vanessa handled it and spoke to the vendor directly to get it fixed (and we found out all about it AFTER the problem was completely solved). I couldn't be more thankful for Vanessa!! The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The outdoor ceremony is the PERFECT spot to get married, we loved the setup so much. The reception space was also stunning. Vanessa was so helpful in picking out the linens and napkin colors too! The bridal suite was the perfect place to get ready in the morning. We got there at 8am and spent the whole day there. The room is the perfect size - we had more than enough room for 10 adults and 2 kids. We were provided with mimosas and were able to order food from the kitchen! The groomsmen got ready at our hotel, but had a spot for them to take "getting ready" pictures too! I also can't rave enough about the food. We've gotten so many compliments about the appetizers and meals. The bartenders were also great & we loved our signature cocktails! AND Sherly is the absolute BEST. She was there ready to hold my dress, had a fan, and got me anything I could possible need. She drove us on the golf cart to take pictures and she brought us appetizers and drinks while we were taking a moment in the bridal suite together after the ceremony. She was a blessing to have on the wedding day. I can't emphasize enough how this was the best venue for our wedding. I would recommend anyone to get married here!!

right in. As we got closer to wedding day, Vanessa was very quick to answer any questions sent her way. Whatever we wanted, they made it happen. The cocktail hour on the grand patio was awesome and the setup inside for reception was exactly how we envisioned. All the staff there are great. On the day of the wedding Sherly was amazing, helping with anything we needed from food/drink service to photo assistant! Everyone had a great evening and we are so happy with how it turned out!

if you want an outdoor ceremony. The most upsetting part of our day was the complete disregard for our ceremony. During our tour, we were explicitly assured that golfers would be held from the hole directly behind the ceremony site. This was a key factor in our decision to book the venue. Despite that clear assurance, only minutes into our ceremony a group teed off directly behind the pergola—fully visible and audible to us and our guests. Even worse, a golf ball flew over and landed less than six feet from our officiant. Not only was this genuinely a scary safety issue, it was incredibly distracting and upsetting. The venue failed to uphold their commitment, and it had a significant negative impact on a moment that was very special to us. Although the ceremony was the biggest disappointment, unfortunately it wasn’t the only issue that day. There were two issues regarding cleanliness in the bathroom/bridal suite. One of my bridesmaids hung her dress up in the bathroom while we were getting ready and when she took it off there was a large gel-like substance stained on her dress and we were unable to get it off. My dress also became dirty just from the time spent getting ready in the bridal suite. There was very visible dirt around the border of my dress’ train, before leaving the bridal suite. It is understandable that no floor is going to be pristinely clean, but the level of dirt was significant and noticeable. Finally, I had asked that my sober and pregnant guests have a non alcoholic beverage placed at their seat for toasting because I wanted everyone to feel included. I was assured this was no problem when discussing the reception with the Cape Club, only to find out that alcoholic champagne had been placed at all of their seats. We reached out to the Cape Club after the wedding to address these issues, and I was upset to see them respond with such little empathy or accountability. While they acknowledged the substandard cleanliness and overlooked details, their comments regarding the golfing situation were infuriating. They stated that they “do their best to limit play near the ceremony but do not guarantee full stoppage of play during weddings,” which contradicts what we were told during our tour. On top of that, it was clearly an organized children’s golf event taking place during our ceremony. This means not only did they fail to limit play, but they knowingly scheduled a children’s event at the same time as our ceremony. Their email also included the statement that “there has never been an issue with a golf ball landing near the ceremony site,” an astonishingly unprofessional thing to say to clients who did have a golf ball land less than six feet from their officiant. We replied to their email nearly two months ago and have not received any further response. While there are positive aspects to hosting a wedding at the Cape Club, I cannot recommend this venue for anyone planning an outdoor ceremony. You should expect golfers to tee off behind you as you say your vows, and the Cape Club has made it clear that they will take no accountability for this and that this is acceptable to occur during a wedding ceremony. I understand that mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability or interest in making things right is the reason for this 2 star review.
