The Lighthouse Inn

Bill was fantastic and made sure everything went smoothly the entire day. His presence was great and anything we needed he made sure we had it. The food was outstanding, by far the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding venue. The guests are still raving about it a week later! We loved the Lighthouse Inn and everything about it! It’s rustic Cape Cod and it is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well!

le vacation. People ended up staying multiple nights and loving the location; kids especially loved it and want to go back every year. Not only was the setting great but I heard nothing but positive feedback about the staff and how well they handled our large group. As the bride, I didn't notice any of it -- which actually is a good thing! Bill is great, super flexible, and I felt like I didn't need to worry about anything. If I could do it again, I would still pick the Lighthouse Inn.

ion. We had a smaller event for under 40 people and chose the lobster bake option and passed hors-d'oeuvres. Bill Sherman was wonderfully helpful and very attentive, not only throughout the actual event but also from the start of the planning process. We had quite a few decorations and he was able to follow my ideas and execute them very well. We were lucky and had very good weather and therefore had a lovely set up of tables outside overlooking the ocean during the cocktail hour. Everyone raved about the lobster bake and left very full. I would recommend the Lighthouse Inn for any event, whether a wedding or a small party for friends and family!

first phone call to Bill, he was professional, polite and returned my calls immediately. When we had our dinner, the staff was so nice and accommodating to everyone's needs in our group. I don't eat any dairy either, and they made me my own special dairy free dessert-which is hard to find! They deserve 100 stars instead of 5!

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!

and are good at it-you are in such good hands. 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!!

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.

e was exceptional. The food was amazing at our wedding, as well as at breakfast and dinner. We stayed the whole weekend, as did many of our guests and everyone raved about the cottages, grounds, service, food, view, etc. Bill Sherman coordinated our wedding and didn't miss a detail. We are already planning our anniversary there next year with friends and family!

l on our part. Will definitely be returning for anniversaries!

was a breeze - he was straight forward, easy to get a hold of, and responded quickly. The whole staff was accommodating and made the weekend excellent! We had ~50 guests staying on site from out of town including older grandparents. Many of them want to visit LHI for a family vacation again in the next few years and got a true taste of Cape Cod. The food was excellent (we had a clam bake) and everything was flawless. If we had to choose again, we would definitely choose LHI again. It was outstanding!

s much more than that title suggests in my opinion! He coordinated our entire wedding from our first meeting through our wedding night. 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!

clam chowder, salad, and chocolate mousse for dessert. The food was excellent and they accommodated everyone without any problems. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Bill helped coordinate our big day and he knows his stuff!! Everything went so smoothly from the start. He was super organized and very quick with responses for any questions. It was overall a beautiful day and we couldn't have chosen a better venue to work with. Thank you so much!!

un table setup that was a little out of the ordinary (per my request) and his staff did a great job with set up and were polished professionals on the floor. 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!

I did not realize I had. The ceremony and reception were run perfectly and the food was fabulous. The wait staff took care of everything behind the scenes, without my ever needing to ask. I would highly recommend the Lighthouse Inn to anyone.

in room upstairs---Bill made me/us feel as if we were the most important wedding ever! His attention to all detail, along with his willingness to step back and let our grown daughters and I decorate and set up the room any way we wanted was profoundly appreciated. 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 LOVED IT ALL! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT THE INN FOR A MAGICAL AND MEMORABLE WEDDING!

were overwhelmed with all of our things and trying to coordinate making some of our "wedding props" so not only did they pull up a cart to help us, but offered us drinks! Overall, the weekend was amazing and the staff makes you feel welcome. We couldn't beat walking out of our little cottage onto the beach all weekend and spending time with our family and friends. 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.

ct day. Bill is the most laidback person I have ever met, and is so easy to work with. My guests all raved about the inn, and are already planning return trips. Most of my guests got there, parked there car, and didnt have to worry about much else the whole weekend. It was a perfect party. I can't wait to visit next year. Thank you Lighthouse Inn for helping me have a perfect wedding which I will treasure forever!!

sion and gave all our guests a completely beautiful and memorable atmosphere. Ceremony by the beach, reception was a party to end all parties, just a completely wonderful place we can't wait to visit for our anniversary in years to come.

oy the unique photo opportunities.

es I asked them to place at their choice because I didn't know where exactly to put them. The food was fantastic. The place was gorgeous. The grounds were beautiful. The staff was excellent. Settling up at the end of the night was very easy, as was the entire payment process. I wish I could do it all over again and not change a thing.

day we went there a woman who had her wedding there years ago stopped me (with new baby in tow) and said they come back every year to celebrate and we will be doing the same thing! Bill is very down to Earth and reasonable and he even gave us a discount because we were planning our wedding within three months! The staff were awesome and everything worked out exactly as we had wanted! It's a perfect Cape Cod spot with adorable cottages and just a real Cape feel instead of a fancy resort. We couldn't have been happier!!!

e there was another wedding going on after mine, I felt like we were getting kicked out. I noticed the ceremony site was already being set up for the next wedding. While, I'm fine with that, I just felt a little rushed as the reception seemed to fly by and all of a sudden, I was getting told to rush out the door.

ead. The night went so smoothly with no little bumps. Bill took care of everything, every little detail I asked for was perfect when I walked in to the reception. I am so happy we chose this place and would highly recommend The Lighthouse Inn

ys after our wedding and got to know some of our wedding staff more personally and they were just as pleasant when we saw them at breakfast or dinner as they were on our actual wedding day. The location is amazing. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day where people could also enjoy the outside deck overlooking the ocean but even on a day that would not be as perfect, the view can't be beat. We would highly recommend the Lighthouse Inn as a wedding venue and as a beautiful place to stay on Cape Cod.

ponsive and was always available during the whole planning process. The food was delicious...we chose to go with the buffet for our 125 guests and although buffets tend to slow weddings down, the staff seemed to move everyone right through, and everyone raved about the food and the choices. I was very happy with the whole experience at the LHI and cannot wait to return for our anniversary!!

enovated and beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We opted for a clambake and there was plenty of delicious food for everyone. Some of our guests spent the weekend at LHI. The rooms were beautiful. Each morning they woke up to an ocean breeze from West Dennis Beach. Overall, we were very happy with The Lighthouse Inn.

ded bringing us out an extra plate of the Cranberry Gorgonzola Puffs, which our guests demolished the first time around. Awesome food, service and views!

etentious. Accommodations: The set up is great, especially when you make a whole weekend out of it. Its affordable and 75% of my wedding guests stayed for the whole weekend. We never had to leave the property. We all stayed in cottages walking distance from everyone. 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. I did reserve my 6 bedroom cottage a year in advance. It was great that my whole wedding party stayed together.

Bill Sherman and the lighthouse staff made us feel like royalty. They anticipated our every need and they wedding went perfectly and beautifully. Bill walked through the venue rooms and areas we would be using about a month before so we could provide the appropriate decorations. We also reviewed the wedding party and finalized the menu. The day before the wedding we provided the decorations and had our rehearsal. The rest of the day was spent enjoying the jet skis, beach, bar and pool. The day of our wedding was a magical dream. Everything was decorated in our wedding colors, all of our deliveries had been received and placed and our guests were enjoying themselves. Of course, the location is ideal, we have been all over cape cod and the islands and really no one had the complete package of New England charm, beautiful beaches, luxurious accommodations and authentic local shopping. Because of the gorgeous venue the back drops for our pictures was always beautiful. The piece that my guests cannot stop talking about was the food. The passed hors d'vers were delicious and plentiful. The dinner service was outstanding and the clam bake was no common banquet fair but platters of perfectly prepared steaks and lobsters. There was a clam shortage on the east coast due to hurricane Andrew but our chef found the clams for our wedding dinner. Truly amazing. The vegetables were delicately seasoned with the right amount of tenderness. Our vegetarian guest was thrilled with the pasta. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious!! Our guests had a great time at our wedding. I would recommend the Lighthouse Inn to anyone who wants a turn-key, intimate wedding. Our family will return to Lighthouse Inn for years to come for anniversaries and family reunions.

s there every step of the way from the first interview to packing up our things at the end of the wedding night. He answered all of our questions promptly and thoroughly and was a huge part of our day. Every time someone needed anything he was right there to help. The staff was friendly and professional and everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better experience. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a real Cape Cod wedding experience. You can't get any closer to the water or any more Cape Cod.

great.. and our ceremony was on the same grounds. Bill Sherman did a great job of orchestrating the event, anyone looking to have their wedding day here.. I'd highly recommend it!

e to worry about. They took care of our bags, transporting us everything to and from the Inn and our cottage. AND set us all the centerpieces, which was A LOT!!!!! And the food...May I suggest the Clam Bake. It was the perfect New England touch to our wedding. This was a destination wedding for us, so it was very hard to choose a place. I love lighthouses. So when I saw the Inn was an actual lighthouse, I had to investigate. I had Bill Sherman get back to me about the Inn. After talking to Bill, I was SOLD. He made everything so easy for me. He sent me lists with names and numbers of every kind of vendors I could think of. He was prompt with getting back to me with any questions. And he worked so well with my wedding party getting the emergency indoor wedding set up, since of course it decided to rain that day...the only day of rain that week :( I could keep going, but I think you get the picture.

ons, staying on budget, and simply making it the perfect day. We wanted a true classic Cape Cod wedding and the Inn delivered just that. The food stations were delicious (we continue to get compliments) and the setting was breathtaking. Our guests continue to rave about the wedding and we couldn't be happier. In addition to our wedding day, the Inn was perfect for accommodating our large wedding party with multiple cottages and rooms for multiple days. Delicious breakfast buffet was included each morning and we really were just overwhelmed with the friendly, helpful, attentive service we were provided. I don't know how we got lucky enough to have our wedding here but we will remember it for a lifetime and know that the Lighthouse Inn is the absolute best place for such an occasion. Thank you Bill and everyone at the Inn!!!!!

tions for the ceremony (on the grass, sand, and inside), there is a nice porch for guests to use overlooking the ocean, and the rock wall made for amazing pictures. The Lighthouse Inn was the perfect Cape Cod wedding venue. The inside was not over the top fancy it was simple and elegant. We were able to fit all of our guests in one dining room so the other section was a large space for dancing. The service was AMAZING! The staff was perfect from the day we visited to the day we got married. Bill was so helpful and alleviated so much stress the day of the wedding by setting all of the decorations up. Throughout the process any time I had a question I would call and Bill would get back to me right away. The day before the wedding I gave the venue all of the decorations, anything necessary for the ceremony, and centerpieces I had and the staff took care of it. There was no work on my part in setting up anything. I was able to enjoy my morning and not stress out about if everything was done properly. The cocktail hour was nice because guests could go out on the porch or walk the beach. The food was amazing as well! My husband is from a different part of the country and I wanted his family and friends to experience what Cape Cod was like. They definitely got that experience and loved it. The Lighthouse Inn accommodations were great as well. The rooms were very large and there were different types of rooms available (motel style, house style). It was nice to be able to walk from the wedding right to your room. If I planned my wedding again I would choose the Lighthouse Inn. I would recommend the Lighthouse Inn to anyone who wants a Cape Cod ocean wedding.

and provided us with unparalleled personalized attention which made narrowing down our venue choices very easy. When we visited the Inn in late April to confirm our decision we knew we had made an excellent choice. Although we were only planning a wedding for 35 guests we received the same attention to detail as if there would be 350 guests. While planning the wedding from Montreal Bill was constantly in touch by email and phone making sure that everything was exactly as we wanted. The setting and the day was spectacular. Bill and his staff went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure every last detail perfect. The service was impeccable, the food was excellent and the setting on the sands of Nantucket Sound could not have been more perfect. If you are looking for the wedding of your dreams I would definitely recommend The Lighthouse Inn as your first choice on Cape Cod.

ct. The food for the reception was perfect. I cant say enough good things about the Lighthouse Inn and the staff, very thoughtful, gracious, attentive and very friendly.

ng the food when we had notified them at the end of July. They don't have to set up for the wedding now, so they are not out any money. I just hope if anyone working there has a family member that becomes deathly ill, they won't have to go through the hell this place is putting me and my family through. My brother is still in the hospital and he has had 3 brain surgeries to date. How heartless of Lighthouse Inn and shame on you. I would have re-booked with them at a later date, but because of how heartless they are being, I would not be comfortable getting married here, as they have added even more stress in my and my families life even more difficult and I don't believe they care about their customers or people. Lighthouse Inn is HEARTLESS.

Everything was beyond my expectations. I would recommend this venue to absolutely anyone looking for a wedding on the water! You WON'T be disappointed!

ght there on the water's edge, while our guests sat in perfectly placed white chairs. Our wedding was on July 4th, which turned out to be a perfect choice. Bill Sherman is the wedding manager, and he handled all the arrangements in a professional manner taking away all the stress. The ceremony went smoothly, followed by appetizers and drinks both inside and outside, given the beautiful day, while photos were taken. Then we proceeded to the dining area overlooking the ocean, and all of our guests were impressed by the excellent meal. 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. Many of our guests stayed at the Inn, which has numerous rooms, I believe about 80. The rooms are a bit expensive in the summer for guests who choose to stay, but it is Cape Cod in the summer. We could not have made a better choice for our wedding.

he Lighthouse Inn is the perfect venue... It's intimate, caring, scenic, and exactly what we were looking for. Mr. Bill Sherman is wonderful-- he takes care of everything leaving an easily flustered bride feeling relaxed and confident. The day of the wedding all of the staff were wonderful. 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!

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

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.

y was breathtaking. If you love the water and love the Cape you will be happy here.

and those who want to sit at their tables and visit.

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

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.)
