Wonderful way to say "I do" I found Jerri Ann on PopClink and wasn't sure she could even help as I was unsure of our budget and goals since we are older and didn't think we wanted a big to do. She was great and responsive and full of ideas and suggestions. Always working with us and dealing with the last minute stuff of me changing my mind and adding this or subtracting that. The venue itself was wonderful, the weather was not. Last minute we had to move it to inside and I had a pit in my stomach bc the whole time I imagined it outside. All my worry was for nothing bc Jerri and the Inn pulled it off. It looked great, food was great, service was wonderful. I have no complaints. If I had to do it over again I'd want less light in the room so it wasn't so bright, beyond that, I wouldn't have changed a thing. I would recommend the Inn and Jerri Ann with confidence.

Our wedding at the Inn of Cape May was an absolute dream come true. This stunning historic building, located directly across from the beach, offers a picturesque setting with its large lawn, wrap-around porch, and newly renovated indoor reception room that accommodates up to 150 guests.
Jeri Anne, the coordinator for this venue, was exceptional. She made the entire process seamless by meeting with us ahead of time to discuss the schedule, decor, and other details. They even allowed us to drop off all our wedding decor the night before, and she went out of her way to set everything up perfectly. From the menus on tables to the seating chart, audiobook, frames, and cocktail hour extras, Jeri Anne handled it all with love. Our ceremony was on the beach across from the Inn and it was magical!! While we were responsible for our own vendors, everything went smoothly, and we are so glad we chose the beach for the ceremony. The servers at the Inn of Cape May went above and beyond to ensure our guests had everything they needed, taking special care to consider allergies and dietary restrictions. The food was outstanding – I still think about it to this day! Everyone raved about the hors d'oeuvres from cocktail hour and the crab cakes and steak served at the reception. The bartenders were also super friendly and they did not skimp on liquor that’s for sure! Drinks were great. I couldn’t have dreamt of a better wedding or location. I am so thankful for all the staff at the Inn of Cape May for making our special day so perfect.

We had our wedding rehearsal/welcome dinner here and had a great experience. Food and drinks were good and the service was wonderful. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an event space for around 35-50 people (or more!) in Cape May.

Our welcome dinner at The Inn of Cape May, organized by Jeri Anne, was an absolute highlight of our wedding festivities. The venue itself was a perfect blend of elegance and warmth, providing a charming backdrop for our pre-wedding celebration.
Jeri Anne demonstrated a remarkable ability to coordinate and execute our ideas flawlessly. Her professionalism and responsiveness throughout the planning process alleviated any pre-event stress we might have had. The menu curated for the evening was not only delicious but also showcased a thoughtful consideration of our preferences and dietary restrictions.
The venue staff, under the guidance of Jeri Anne, delivered impeccable service, ensuring that our guests felt comfortable and attended to. The welcome dinner, thanks to this dynamic team, set the stage for the wedding day itself. We’re grateful for the care and expertise that went into making this prelude to our wedding so special. Highly recommend both the venue and planner for anyone seeking a seamless and memorable experience!

The Inn of Cape May truly made it the wedding of our dreams! The renovations are beautiful and also maintained the historic charm of the Inn, which was a main drawing point for us. We loved that everything happened onsite — and so did our guests! It's so true...your wedding day goes by so quickly so having everything happen at one location was ideal for us. We especially loved the charming cocktail hour on the lawn and gorgeous wrap around porch. It really was a highlight for us and our guests. The Inn is also right in the heart of Cape May, which provided ample entertainment for our guests and stunning photo opportunities. Jeri Anne, Jill, and the Inn of Cape May team really went above and beyond to make our wedding so special! Jeri Anne really took our vision and made it come to life. Any time we came down for planning and a quick visit, the team always made a point to make us feel welcome and special, and to help with any questions. It was truly a night to remember and we thank the Inn of Cape May and its team for making our wedding spectacular!

My daughter got married at the IOCM 10/14/23. We had an amazing experience. The charm of the inn coupled with the updates made it a perfect Venue. We enjoyed staying on property and celebrating the entire weekend. Jerri Anne and Jill were really helpful and always excited about our event. The food did not disappoint and we had many options. We have fond memories of the day and would highly recommend it to other friends.

We had our wedding at the end of October here and it couldn't have been more perfect. Our out of town guests LOVED that they did not have to travel anywhere since everything was held at the hotel. The planning with Jeri Anne was so enjoyable, and she has so much knowledge in the wedding planning field which made the experience way less stressful and more fun. The food was amazing and guests are still raving about it. The lawn was PERFECT for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, and the room held all 126 of our guests perfectly. We truly had the best day EVER and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of Jeri Anne and the amazing hospitality of the Inn of Cape May.

My husband and I were one of the first couple’s to get married at the recently renovated Inn of Cape May! The Inn is simply beautiful, and we immediately fell in love with the modern coastal decor paired with the authentic charm of historic Cape May. We got married in a tent on the front lawn and had our reception in the ballroom. From the front porch to the lobby there were so many beautiful spots to have photos taken. The staff was amazing to work with, and made us feel so special. It rained on our wedding day, but Jerri Anne and Jill went above and beyond to make sure everything was still perfect. The food and alcohol was also amazing, and all of our guests could not stop raving about it the high quality!

The inn of cape may was the perfect place to host our “morning after” breakfast! All of our guest were from out of town and traveled to Cape May for our wedding. We wanted to provide something extra for everyone that made the trip down. Ocean 7 at the Inn of Cape May did not disappoint! It’s a beautiful hotel in the heart of Cape May. The food and service was exceptional as always! The new ownership made some renovations that are done beautifully. We always get nervous when something is changes in Cape May because we loved it the way it was. The remodel was done tastefully and kept the same feel of the hotel while bringing it up to date! The food has always been delicious and still is! This is one of our go to spots when we visit.

The Inn of Cape May is the absolute best place for a “The Day After'' wedding breakfast. We were so happy to end our event-filled wedding weekend in Cape May at the Inn of Cape May, such an iconic and beautiful venue that highlights and encapsulates the history of Cape May. Jeri Anne and her team were so helpful with every single detail, from the coordination of the menu to the seating arrangements and setup of the ballroom. With a newly renovated ballroom, we were beyond wowed how beautiful the ballroom looked. Jeri Ann even allowed our florist “A Garden Party” to drop off the wedding centerpieces after midnight and place them right on the ballroom tables so everything was perfectly set for the next morning’s breakfast. The staff at the Inn of Cape May kept the breakfast buffet offerings fresh and beautiful, restocking throughout our entire event. The food was both beautifully styled and delicious. We would highly recommend the Inn of Cape May. We are forever grateful to Jeri Anne and her team for ending our wedding weekend on such a high note.
