I can't even begin to explain how amazing our wedding was. When my fiancé and I got engaged we knew we wanted a Cape Cod wedding. We looked everywhere on the Cape and decided on The Lighthouse Inn. This was the one true place on Cape Cod tha...
t hasn't been totally over taken by the wedding industry. It is "true cape cod" It's rustic charm was perfect and everything we wanted for our special day. The staff was amazing and especially Bill Sherman. Perfect would be an understatement. Bill helped us plan and organize to make our day flawless. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to his help and expertise. Our guests are still complimenting everything about the day especially the food and atmosphere. As a bride you have so many expectations for your big day and I can say this venue far exceeded any expectation we had. My fiancé’s family is from all over the county and picking our venue couldn’t have been better. We were able to make a weekend event with everyone staying at the local cottages. It felt like the whole place was our own for the weekend. It was absolutely perfect and we wouldn’t change a thing. Can’t wait to spend our one year anniversary at the Lighthouse Inn!

what goes right, what goes wrong, and how to make your day perfect. The location is gorgeous, inside and out. They can accommodate small weddings and large weddings, and they can keep you safe during the pandemic!

The staff also work well with other vendors, and they even have a list of recommendations to help with your planning purposes! I never dreamed a pandemic wedding could be perfect, but the wonderful staff at the Lighthouse Inn ensured that it was! I am so thankful that we booked the Lighthouse Inn. It was certainly the best wedding we could have imagined!

Luck was on our side and we were able to keep the ceremony outside as planned. The food for both our cocktail hour and dinner was amazing. The staff made the entire evening flow wonderfully.

They let us decide exactly how we wanted all the table and chairs set up, and they had a bunch of different options, which made it so easy to customize our vision. We really wanted to have our ceremony outdoors, but the weather that day was a little gloomy/rainy. Bill and his team had a back-up option for us just in case the weather took a turn for the worst. Luckily, the weather cleared up enough, and we were able to get married outside! Bill and his team set up all the decorations we provided, and worked flawlessly with our other vendors, even when a few things didn't go as originally planned. We had the most perfect day, and we were so grateful we chose The Lighthouse Inn!

It provided our out of town guests--many of whom had never experienced the Cape--a perfect Cape Cod experience. We all stayed on site in the cozy, comfortable, and updated cottages.

If you're super lucky, you and your guests will eat dinner overlooking a sunset that can't be described by words and that pictures cant possibly do justice. We are beyond thrilled with every detail possible. Highly recommend this gem! ****FYI - for couples that mind, there is no AC in the reception area. We got hot, but being able to go outside and sit by the ocean in the breeze as part of "our area" kept the night enjoyable and tolerable after some dancing. Plus, the outside area and fireplace was So serene!

knowledgeable, and always answered our questions quickly and found a way to make our day seamless. The food was delicious, the servers and bartenders were attentive, and we, and all of our guests, absolutely loved our time there. It was lovely to have all of our guests able to stay right on location to enjoy all of the amenities: beach, pool, restaurant, shuffleboard, etc. Each morning during our stay, they set up a large table during the breakfast buffet for our wedding guests to enjoy together. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better day, better service, or a better venue -- we can't wait to celebrate our first anniversary back in West Dennis, and lots of our friends & family are excited to join as well!

e but had never even heard of the Lighthouse Inn until we began searching for venues. We wanted a place on the water that could accommodate a 200 person wedding where friends and family could all stay on site and that wasn’t going to break the bank as we were mostly paying for the wedding ourselves. The Lighthouse Inn has all of the above. A rustic Cape Cod setting with gorgeous views of Nantucket Sound. Having our friends and family staying on site in beach front cottages was awesome. Our wedding was on a Friday and the party continued right into the next day on the beach and out in front of the cottages with coolers of beer and cornhole. We did heavy passed aps, a raw bar and food stations instead of traditional sit-down dinner. While my wife and I barely had a chance to eat (because we were crushing the dance floor), all of our guests said the food was excellent. Bill Sherman the director of food and beverage there was great. He was able to answer all of our questions and more than happy to meet with us in person several times in the year leading up to the wedding to discuss the layout and food choices. Any combination of food and drink you can think of they can accommodate. Bill and his staff really took great care of us and our guests staying on site. A Full Breakfast is included for all guests staying on the property. New England weather is impossible to predict but lucky for us all we had to deal with were 30 knot wind gusts during the cocktail hour. We weren’t able to take advantage of the awesome outside deck and patio until a little later in the night when the wind died down. If you are looking to have a wedding on the cape, then you have to check out the Light House Inn!

The expansive deck was perfect for cocktail hour, and they even have a fire pit down by the beach where guests can relax between dancing. As for the food - it was DELICIOUS! Our guests still talk about the Alfredo. I just asked my husband what his favorite part was, and without even reading this review he said the food! It was so fun to run back and forth between guest houses all weekend, to family and friends all gathered in the same place. The huge lawn, playground, pool, and of course, the beach, made this the perfect spot for people who travel far to relax for the weekend, and for everyone to enjoy a great time!

in Texas (but am from the Cape). He was always timely in his replies and you can really tell he knows what he's doing, and knew all the questions to get the planning right. My mom did the flowers so we had some delivered to the Inn and my family put up our arbor for the ceremony. My dessert table was not traditional, with many pieces, and they got it right! I was able to give Bill diagrams and discuss my visions to ensure they were carried out. We were running late because our hair and make up artists took too long, but Bill was calm and collected which really helped. He allowed us to delay things so that we could still fit everything in, with me knowing we still had a hard deadline because there was another wedding after ours. The beach ceremony was perfect. The food was amazing, and people are still talking about it. We had the lobster bake and it was more than enough food, it was delicious and on pointe! the staff was amazing and super helpful. I wish we had had maybe about an hour more for the event, but everything flowed smoothly and we had an after party at the Cleat & Anchor down the road (We called ahead to let them know), so we could continue our celebration!

school in New Jersey is no small feat. But Bill and the whole team at the Lighthouse really made things so much easier for us. We wanted this wedding to be a celebration of us and the friends and family who support us.

We did all the decor ourselves, but I was able to hand him a map and the team set it up *exactly* how I envisioned it. When last minute changes to the guest list popped up, he was calm, cool, and collected. Our family and friends, literally from all over the country, felt so welcomed and at home. The staff was incredible. Also--get yourself into room 6 for your wedding if you can! It's huge, a great place to get ready. And the balcony is so freaking pretty. Everything was easy, lovely. It was our dream wedding. And then there's the food! OMG it was so good. People are still talking about that lobster bake. I couldn't finish my plate. People took home "doggie bags" to eat back in their rooms. So delicious and precisely the experience we wanted our guests to have. You simply cannot beat the price for the location, the meal options, and the quality of service. I am thrilled with our choice.

during our ceremony was stunning. Many of our guests had never been to Cape Cod before and they were all so impressed with the venue and scenery. Everything from the food, to the service, to the room accommodations was outstanding. Bill Sherman, the Food and Beverage Manager at the LHI (although he does much more than that), is very responsive to calls and emails and is also very attentive to detail. He made sure that everything my husband and I envisioned on our special day was fulfilled. All of the servers and staff throughout the weekend were very nice and attentive as well. I literally have nothing to complain about, which can be unusual for a bride! One "perk" that the LHI provides is that it offers many on-site rooms and cottages for guests to stay in throughout the weekend. This was not only convenient for guests with small children and mobility challenges, but it also provided a huge sense of relief knowing that people would not be drinking and driving, since they only had to walk a few yards to their rooms from the reception site. (There is also a playground and a swimming pool that guests can use throughout their stay.) I would recommend reserving rooms early on, though, as they do sell out fairly quickly. Tiana and Judith in the reservation office are very helpful with this. Another "perk" is that there is a cottage on site called The Lodge, which has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, as well as a living room area on the first floor. Many of my bridesmaids stayed here, and we also got ready here before the ceremony. The hair stylist, makeup artist, and photographers were able to set up and do their prep work in the living room, so all of us were able to get ready and take photos together. Overall, The Lighthouse Inn exceeded our expectations, and we are planning to come here for many anniversaries in the future. If anyone is looking for an oceanfront venue that is reasonably priced with excellent food, service, and attention to detail, the LHI is the place to be!

I stayed in the room with the deck over the water/where the ceremony was and my bridesmaids and I had a ball- we have the best pictures-everything you want on your wedding morning. I have ZERO complaints. They made sure our wedding went exactly as we asked and exactly as we paid for it to go. Would recommend to anyone who wants an ocean /Cape Cod wedding!!

Bill Sherman and all of the staff at The Lighthouse Inn made our May 2017 wedding reception perfect! For a venue on the water, the price point is reasonable and the staff is wonderful to work with. From the beginning of our wedding planning, we...
knew this was our top venue spot. I am from the Cape and this is the definition of "old cape cod magic" and the feeling you get when you are on the dance floor, or sitting at the table overlooking the ocean, it's truly magical. The food is very good, especially the passed appetizer selection. We had signature drinks which were very good and the bar provided many different options for us in the planning, which was perfect for our guests. We even were able to host a welcome party the night before our wedding, which was so special. Bill was just a phone call away anytime I had a question throughout the planning process and our wedding vendors, including the videographer, photographers, DJ, and florist, all were incorporated seamlessly into the wedding planning and wedding day. In addition, the property has cottages with multiple bedrooms accessible to my bridal party, our families, and guests - which was great for everyone to enjoy the full weekend. The prices for rooms were reasonable, and included a beautiful breakfast spread. You can't go wrong with this as a venue for a wedding or function space, it's a gorgeous backdrop in old Cape Cod.

He was well organized, easy to work with and stuck to his word on arrangements we had discussed all throughout the course of two years of wedding planning. Not to mention that most of our coordinating was done long distance as my husband and I live in Minneapolis! Bill worked with us to sort out the best seating arrangement and dance floor space for the amount of guests that we had at the reception ( about 105 of us in total). He's very knowledgeable about timelines and coordinating with vendors- he took a LOT of stress off of us when it came to setting up our flower arrangements, party favors and decorations. Bill even recommended the New England Clam bake reception dinner and we were all blown away with the presentation and taste!! I’m still dreaming of that lobster and we are still getting compliments on it! Well worth the price in my opinion! All in all, we could not have chosen a better place and person to work with for our wedding day!

Everything ran very smoothly working with Bill, you don't need a wedding planner if you are a fairly organized person, he will help you every step of the way. The location couldn't be more perfect, right on the water with beautiful sunsets and ocean views. Guests can lounge on the outdoor deck if they aren't keen on hitting the dance floor, and there's even a small fire pit with adirondack chairs situated right on the water. And there is indeed a functioning lighthouse on top of the inn. The Inn has a very rustic feel, it's not one of those stuck up or pretentious wedding venues, but it is still very beautiful. We chose the New England clam bake for our dinner option and guests were wowed by the sheer volume and quality of their meal, most opting for the lobster (which I had and was phenomenal), but some going with steak and I heard it was very tasty too. We opted to marry on a Friday because it is a 10% discount, a nice added bonus! Price-wise Lighthouse Inn is very competitive for Cape Cod wedding venues, we never felt like we were being taken advantage of at all. My only complaint is that it was an unseasonably warm night for September and the venue doesn't have AC. Even with all the windows open things got a little sweaty, but all in all it was a great venue and I would highly, highly recommend it to any bride-to-be!

This location was PERFECT--and truly quintessential Cape Cod---and warmed the hearts of every guest at our wedding--some of whom had never experienced Cape Cod. Spencer ran our reception downstairs and was PHENOMENAL. He was kind, considerate, warm, knowledgeable, respectful and LOVELY! He even helped me pack up all the desserts after the reception--which made for a great late night snack later! Every member of the team, including our GREAT bartender was outstanding. The feel of "family" is pervasive at the Inn--and makes for such a welcoming venue. Truly this is a venue where you can choose to keep it rustic or dress it up any way you want. We did all our own decorating--and it was everything I had wished for. Even in the midst of the launching of the busy wedding season at the Inn--Bill was incredibly responsive every time I reached out and he was so calm--which at times I needed! The Chowdah, Caesar Salad, appetizers and Filet Mignon were raved about----some of the swordfish dinners may have needed a slight bit of warming up- its tough for sure for a large group---that being said the servers were TOTALLY accommodating to everyone!

We had a smaller wedding (55-60 people) in June and had a large room for dinner then a side room for the DJ/dancing/extra tables. Our guests seemed to enjoy that since it was not super loud in the dinner area and it allowed people to talk, but it did not necessarily encourage everyone to dance as much. The only issues we ran into were that the gift bags we made were not distributed properly like we instructed and the prices we were initially given were not correct. I think the Inn could work on streamlining their financial process for weddings and making the documentation more clear.

There was a lot to offer on the property (beach, pool, tennis, jet skis, bar/restaurant, etc) something for everyone! The SandBar (pub) is walking distance and was very lively. We stayed for 3 nights and the majority of our wedding guests stayed 2 nights. Breakfast was included in the room rate (and it was very good, buffet had everything) and the cottages have great setup up but with private bathrooms. Our wedding photos came out gorgeous with the background of the ocean, dock, West Dennis Beach, etc. Service: The staff is so helpful, kind and accommodating. All my guests were impressed with the whole weekend. Bill Sherman (wedding coordinator) is incredibly kind and patient. We even got a discount on food for having the wedding on a Sunday (which didn't matter to use since everybody was staying 2 nights, that was the minimum for a reservation.) Food: We did the NE Clam Back, so guests had lobster plate or steak. The plates were huge and delicious, there was a variety of different meats Overall: I would give it an A especially because its affordable, and great value. Cons: Very minor and not a big deal but some of my guests were told incorrect rates. The online system doesn't allow you to enter wedding discounts, so you have to call them on the phone and they are a seasonal business. It all ended up working out.

The reception in the large room downstairs, water level, finished off a perfect day and evening. The prices are very reasonable, and of course it helps financially and logistically to have both the ceremony and reception at the same location.

We stayed in a room in the main house that was upstairs and had access to the balcony. This was a perfect spot to take pictures and large enough for me and my bridesmaids to get ready. I cannot speak more highly of the Lighthouse Inn. I think of my wedding fondly, and that nothing could have been better. Thank you for the memories, Lighthouse Inn!

From the time we walked in the door (June 2010)to book our wedding reception (Sept. 2010), the staff was extremely courteous. Cindy Williams took our initial information & we were followed up with a phone call from Bill Sherman (food & ...
beverage manager). They made our process extremely easy even though we only had a few months to prepare for our event. We met with Bill for the final prep for the room etc.. It was setup just as we requested with a lovely ocean view for all to see. The food was out of this world with very professional waiters & waitresses serving us on the deck as well as in the reception area. Overall, it was a fairy tale reception. Thank you, Daniel & Rosalind Hennessey

Where do I begin? Bill Sherman, the wedding coordinator at The Lighthouse Inn is organized, knowledgeable, and easily accessible. He really loves his job and it shows. We never had a single worry while planning the wedding, he was instrument...
al in organizing the details of what we needed for the day and on the day of the wedding, everything went off without a single hitch. I never had to think about or worry once as to how the day would go, I just showed up and he did the rest. The location is BEAUTIFUL. We were married on the beach in front of the ocean with a gorgeous backdrop. The reception was beautifullly orchastrated and the exact mix of laid back but detail oriented and Cape Cod that we were looking for. There were no hidden costs or fees in the end and we walked away with a sense of a perfect wedding day. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, the accomodations are perfect, as they are small cottages around the grounds. Everyone was very impressed with the location and those of our guests who stayed were very happy, most planning to return for vacation in the future. Free breakfast was a huge plus for our guests.

I loved The Lighthouse Inn because it represented Cape Cod in such a natural setting. It was a dream wedding. We would choose it all over again.;If you want elegant and fancy this is not it. It's Cape Codish. The waterfront area for the ceremon...
y was breathtaking. If you love the water and love the Cape you will be happy here.

The ambiance was great...very tradionally Cape Cod which is what we wanted.;It's a bit awkward in it's layout as the dance floor is on one end of the venue as opposed to in the center of the room. It kind of splits up your guests into dancers ...
and those who want to sit at their tables and visit.

It is about 15 feet from the ocean and it was a picture perfect day.. everyone was outside enjoying a 74 degree day on cape cod in the fall hanging out drinking cocktails. Perfect for ceremony and pictures. Nice lawn for ceremony and awesome ...
view of ocean great for pictures.. can walk way out on the jetties .. just loved it there;It would of not be the same at all if it had rained and everyone had to stay inside

They were helpful, and listened to what I said. When I wanted special things (sundae bar instead of cake) it was no problem for them to set it up. My mom lives locally, so she dealt with them a lot, and they were helpful to her, too. Many gu...
ests stayed there, and they also had a great experience.;If you have a band, and are also having your ceremony there, it might be squished if the ceremony has to move inside. (This did not happen to us.)
