About This Vendor

Embracing Their Past, Welcoming Your Future

A restored 20th-century church in Wellfleet, MA, Wellfleet Preservation Hall welcomes couples celebrating their wedding. Its traditional exterior and idyllic setting provide the perfect setting for a romantic day and unforgettable celebration. The building features the original century-old nave, sanctuary, and steeple, all of which have been thoughtfully preserved. The welcoming front doors, created by noted craftsman Jonathan Kendall, are a bright and lively green. Much of the construction has been restored and returned to its former glory, including a wooden balcony and leaded glass windows. Formerly known as Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Wellfleet Preservation Hall opened for events in 2011. It had undergone renovations and restorations following five years of fundraising to undo years of neglect. Since then, the center has brought a renewed feeling of community to the area while preserving a historic landmark. It is proud to hold more than 600 events per year and invites couples from near and far to celebrate with them. The church sits proudly on Wellfleet’s Main Street Wellfleet Preservation Hall has several event spaces, both indoor and outdoor. The hall’s dedicated event coordinator supports couples throughout their time at the venue. Couples can celebrate with up to 150 of their loved ones. The Simone Reagor Hall, which can be found upstairs, is illuminated by bespoke crystal chandeliers. A pressed tin ceiling softly reflects the light. Guests enter through those iconic Jonathan Kendall doors, a symbol of his wood carving skill. A second hall, Geiger Hall, is on the lower floor and outfitted with a professional sound and lighting system. An extension with modern amenities has been added while tying in with the historical ambiance of the rest of the building. For couples who have dreamed of an outdoor celebration, an outdoor garden is thoughtfully landscaped. The backyard can be tented, for a dreamy reception, or set up for a ceremony. Afterward, couples can celebrate with a relaxing cocktail on the patio. It is bordered by thick trees for a sense of intimacy. A new reception lobby is adorned with tile work from local residents and artists, emphasizing the hall’s dedication to honoring the arts and community. Caterers can delight in the convenience of a modern commercial kitchen.

Thank you Maya, such sweet words. It was a pleasure to host you and Justin for your wedding. I wish you both the very best for all the years of marital bliss!

She was friendly and helpful throughout the planning process, and did a fabulous job concocting our signature cocktail for the bar! The Pres Hall will forever be a special place to us.

e space and met the event coordinator Justine we knew it just felt right. Both the space and Justine’s style are professional yet flexible. We were able to work with her to turn the unique array of indoor and outdoor spaces into exactly the event we wanted. The main hall has a spiritual feel that was perfect for our reception, while the lawn and patio were excellent for cocktails and outdoor dining under a tent. When it came time to dance, the downstairs theatre was perfect. We considered many venues during our wedding planning and without a doubt Preservation Hall was the right one for us. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

rvation Hall. Of course this had much to do with the warmth, love and excitement wafting from our friends in the pews and on the dance floor; however, Jenna and her staff had a large hand in this once-in-a-lifetime evening. They were organized, understanding and accommodating to all of our wants and needs. They were personable and genuine and a delight as hosts. The wedding hall itself strikes a perfect balance of space and intimacy, and we felt neither cramped nor swallowed up in the space. Warm, amber rays of light made their way through the windows as we looked out upon our friends and family. The room was filled with electric excitement, smiles and joyful energy. We were most happily married. We paraded out the front door to a second line jam with all of our loved ones in tow, to the cocktail hour space. The outdoor tent and tables were beautifully and impeccably arranged in the green garden space behind the hall. Birds chirped as we feasted on lobsters and seafood, wine and cake. Toasts were heaped at us, and I felt like grateful but incapable hands, attempting to hold on to the speeches of friends and family as they sieved through my heart. Not versed in weddings to the point of fluency (this was my first, after all ;)), I was assisted in the cutting of the cake by one of Jenna's co-workers, and I most certainly would have mangled the cake without her. Thanks! The coup de grace, though, was the dance floor. Echoing the feel of the wedding hall, it too provided an ample but intimate space. Literally everyone danced, and most danced their butts off, to Nina and my great joy. Any successful celebration is topped off with a lively and raucous dance, and our wedding was no exception. The lighting was spectacular, the band amazing and the sound spot on. I would highly recommend Wellfleet's Preservation Hall to anyone on the Cape or off who is looking for a place to get hitched. There is literally nothing Nina or I would change about the best day of our lives. Thanks Jenna!

Our wedding was in May and because Cape Cod weather is unpredictable we planned to have the ceremony upstairs, inside. Very sweet to have the bride (myself) walk in from outside, up the steps, with my parents. The hall is so beautiful that we d...
idn't have any decorations except for flowers by the alter we made with a photograph (we also wanted to keep things simple!). Then we had a reception downstairs (rented tables and clothes) but the weather turned out beautiful so we put out some chairs (we borrowed these from friends) outside and put cloths over the picnic tables. Guests enjoyed being in and out and we took pictures outside in the beautiful garden. Not many flowers but lots of green that was just beginning. It was a noon ceremony. We all walked and drove to the beach after the lunch reception, which was near sunset time. Some guests also enjoyed walking around the village of Wellfleet - Preservation Hall truly is a perfect wedding location.
