This was the best night of our lives. Marisa and her team (Marissa & Abbie) took all the stress from a wedding and took care of EVERYTHING. Marisa helped plan a wedding within 30 d...
ays of booking because we had no clue we were going to TIE THE KNOT.
From the venue to the food, booze, DJ, photographers and dessert vendors they had suggestions and information all ready for us to choose and book.
The overlook was stunning and THE FOOD WAS TOP KNOTCH(our guests are still talking about the food and the open bar booze options because they had everything). The sunset was breath taking and I would recommend this place to anybody. My wife and I wish we could do it all over again because it was the best day of our lives!
Just a little insight our wedding was casual dress code consisting of 90 people. We had children there of all ages and they loved the play ground, large grass area to run around in and the corn hole games were endless. Whatever your situation is STOWAWAYS is your spot!

Our wedding at the Cape May-Lewes Ferry was truly a dream come true. From the planning process to the big day, everything was seamless and stress-free. Marisa was an absolute joy t...
o work with, guiding us through every step and ensuring all the details were perfect. She helped us coordinate the setup of the chairs and our personal items, making sure everything was in place just as we envisioned.
The ferry team went above and beyond to make our rehearsal and wedding day special. We were able to have a rehearsal the night before with our friends and family, and they even set up the chairs for the rehearsal to make it feel like the actual wedding day. It made all the difference in calming any pre-wedding nerves.
One of the things we appreciated most was how well they coordinated the day to ensure that the girls and guys stayed separate. It kept the excitement alive, and it was so special that no one saw each other until the ceremony. Renting the ferry’s trolley was another highlight—it was seamless, beautiful, and added an extra touch of charm to our day.
After the ceremony, we took stunning photos on the deck and at the restaurant. Which turned out to be beautiful pictures with a stunning background. The ferry also provided the perfect setting for first looks with my grandmother and father, creating some of the most cherished memories of our wedding day.
From start to finish, the entire day was beautiful, and everyone at the ferry was incredibly helpful and attentive. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue, and we highly recommend the Cape May-Lewes Ferry to anyone looking for a magical and well-coordinated wedding experience.
