Nicole & Michael at Chequessett Yacht & Country Club
With the words “yacht and country club” right in its name, one could easily assume that the Chequessett Yacht & Country Club has a buttoned-up, formal feel. So not case with the Cape Cod waterfront wedding venue where Nicole and Michael were married on a sultry summer Saturday. Located on the bay side of Wellfleet, […]
Kaleigh & Jared at Highfield Hall & Gardens
There are certain spring days on Cape Cod that are absolutely perfect: warm and sunny with minimal humidity, the leaves on the trees a delicious shade of just-bloomed green, lush lawns, and spring-flowering plants on full display. Such was the day in May when Kaleigh and Jared were married at Highfield Hall & Gardens, a […]
Lauren & Jason at Nauticus Marina
Lauren and Jason’s September wedding had all the elements of a quintessential destination wedding on Cape Cod. Four fun-filled days, each with its own very special event; not one, but two stunning seaside Cape Cod wedding venues; charming décor details that created a just-right look of elegant beach chic; warm, sunny days and crisp, cool […]
Caroline & Charlie at Chatham Summer
“Summer afternoon–summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” – Henry James We, um, borrowed that beautiful quote from the website of Chatham Summer, the Cape Cod wedding venue where Caroline and Charlie were married, because the couple’s “summer afternoon” was, in fact, one of the “most […]
Cailey & Sam at Nauticus Marina
A sultry summer Saturday. A waterfront Cape Cod wedding venue. Classic coastal details. And love. Lots and lots of love. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? When it came to their wedding day at Nauticus Marina in Osterville, Cailey and Sam certainly thought so. Sam and Cailey kicked off their Cape Cod destination wedding weekend in laid-back […]
George & Elizabeth at Nauticus Marina
When one says that something will be “the social event of the season,” most would assume that claim is hyperbole. Yet when it came to the Cape Cod wedding of George Regan, founder and CEO of Regan Communications Group, and his beloved, Elizabeth Akeley, that might actually be an understatement. Social event of the year, […]
Debra & Ron at Highfield Hall & Gardens
When a bride opts to ditch her wedding gown and go with a short floral dress for her reception, you just know it’s going to be a fun wedding with a decidedly laidback vibe. Yet, with a stunning Cape Cod wedding venue, a thoughtful planning process, and gorgeous details, “laid back” can still feel luxurious, […]
Mike & Matt at Osterville Historical Museum
With more than 550 miles of coastline and countless oceanfront hotels, it’s no surprise that waterfront wedding venues on Cape Cod garner so much attention. Yet the Cape is known nearly as much for its history as it is beaches – the Pilgrims stopped in Provincetown before moving onto Plymouth – and we boast several […]
Krista & Scott at the Winslow Estate
While many of the grand summer homes built on Cape Cod in the late 1800s and early 1900s were done in the classic Shingle Style so often found in seaside summer resorts, there are a few exceptions, one of which is the Winslow Estate in South Orleans. With its Mediterranean design and sprawling green lawns, […]
Maureen & James at Nauticus Marina
When a couple opts to include their fur baby in wedding portraits and chooses a jalapeño margarita as a signature cocktail for their reception, you just kind of know their “Big Day” must have been filled with lots of fun. And so it was when Maureen and James tied the knot in Osterville, MA on a […]
Casey & Mike at Nauticus Marina
“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” – When Harry Met Sally Love the quote above! But we realize that your wedding day isn’t the start of “the rest of your life.” It is, however, […]
Planning a Cape Cod Wedding During COVID
That title isn’t a very romantic way to begin a story about planning a wedding on Cape Cod, is it? But if you’ve recently gotten engaged, please don’t let the current situation take away from the fact that you found the one you want to spend your life with. No matter what, that is romantic. […]
Chrissy & Nick at Nauticus Marina
If ever there was a time when we’d all appreciate the beaming smile of a happy, happy person, this is it. We feel better just looking at Chrissy as she listened to a toast at her pre-pandemic (sigh) wedding. So while we all await what can only be a brighter future, we thought we’d take […]
Unplugged Wedding: A Cape Cod Micro Wedding
Confession time! We didn’t actually coin the phrase “unplugged wedding.” Jillian and Michael, the bride and groom, used it on a sign at the church where they were married as a request that friends and family turn off their phones and refrain from taking photos. But as we were looking through the gorgeous photos taken […]
Boutique Weddings on Cape Cod
“I was made and meant to look for you and wait for you and become yours forever.” ― Robert Browning Oh, how the world has changed. We realize that this is likely the understatement of the year, if not the century. But what hasn’t changed is your love for each other, or the dream of making […]
Jessea & Pete at Kalmar Village
With a sand-in-the-toes ceremony overlooking Cape Cod Bay and the Provincetown skyline, a nautical navy-and-white color scheme, hydrangea-bedecked tables, and a beloved golden retriever serving as best man, Jessea and Pete hit all the right notes for their casual Cape Cod beach wedding. The couple’s family and friends gathered at Kalmar Village, a waterfront Cape […]
Michelle & Evan at Highfield Hall & Gardens
Quirky cool? Beguiling boho? Laidback lux? Everything about Michelle and Evan’s wedding was so uniquely them, so unusual and unexpected, that the usual adjectives assigned to weddings don’t really describe their late-summer nuptials and reception at Highfield Hall & Gardens, a wedding venue on Cape Cod wedding steeped in history. Let’s just call it outright […]
Carolina & Brian at Nauticus Marina
With a bride who hailed from Columbia, and groom of Irish-American descent, this Cape Cod wedding was all about blending family traditions…beautifully. And everything about Carolina and Brian big day was simply spectacular, including the sunny September weather. After exchanging vows at Our Lady of Assumption, a church in the village of Osterville, the very-new […]
Carol & Yang at Highfield Hall & Gardens
With just their family and closest friends coming to their destination wedding on Cape Cod, Carol and Yang wanted a venue with intimate spaces that was still grand enough to celebrate such an important day.

Pinky & Cam at Turntide Estate
A summer day. An obviously-in-love couple. A stunning waterfront Cape Cod wedding venue. If you think it all sounds absolutely swoon worthy, you are so right!

Jo & Adam at a Family Home
When two people who are absolutely beautiful – both inside and out – and have a stunning sense of style, tie the knot at a gorgeous waterfront home, one would expect great things. In the case of Jo and Adam’s Cape Cod wedding, one’s expectations would be met…big time. To say that Jo, owner of […]
Alli & Eric at Turntide Estate
From her sleek sheath gown to his dapper brogues, to the stately waterfront Cape Cod wedding venue, and sailcloth tent at the water’s edge, everything about Alli and Eric’s special day was the very embodiment of laidback beach chic.

Michelle & Will in Brewster
With a cherished family summer house in Brewster, complete with a sprawling green overlooking the “flats” of Cape Cod Bay, there was never any doubt where Michelle and Will would celebrate their special day; at home. Michelle was absolutely stunning in a gown with a sweetheart neckline as she came down the winding stairway which […]
Zach and Scott in Provincetown
Zach and Scott were married on August 4, 2018 in Provincetown, MA surrounded by their extended families and closest friends. With many of their nearly 200 guests traveling to the Cape expressly for the wedding, the couple thoughtfully hosted a welcome dinner the evening before the “main event.” All told, it was an unforgettable gathering […]
Sam & Dan at Mill Pond Estate
From an unexpected black invitation suite to a petite “cutting” cake with a bespoke gilt topper, the individual bridesmaids’ dresses in shades of dusty pink, and dockside photo op with oversized balloons festooned with greenery, everything about Sam and Dan’s wedding was the epitome of seaside chic. The couple chose Chatham’s Mill Pond Estate, a […]

Liz & Dan at Chequessett Yacht and Country Club
If ever a wedding could perfectly encapsulate Cape Cod – which, in our minds, means being both classically sophisticated, and relaxed and beachy all at once – this one might be it. Destination wedding photographer Rebecca Arthurs captured the whole day with stunning attention to every beautiful detail, and we are so grateful to her […]
Emily & Kevin at Heritage Museums & Gardens
If you think a summer wedding reception on Cape Cod should be all about pretty pastels and lush flowers, you’re going to love Emily and Kevin’s August wedding as much as do!

Eva & Brian
The warm waters surrounding Cape Cod make autumn a deliciously long, drawn-out season here.

Kerry & Billy at Bourne Farm
If you think a wedding reception at a Cape Cod wedding venue with a rustic barn built in 1775, set among 49 acres of rolling green lawns and woodlands, should be a relaxed event filled with love and a healthy dose of fun and games, you’ll agree that Kerry and Billy’s August wedding absolutely nailed […]

Carly & Scott at Heritage Museums & Gardens
When a couple has a DJ booth custom made for their wedding reception, the logical assumption is that the bride and groom want to boogie all night long on their big day. In the case of Carly and Scott, that assumption would be spot on! But, wait. It gets better! Photo booths are always a […]
Molly & Mike: A Classic Cape Cod Beach Wedding
It’s no secret how much we love Cape Cod beach weddings at The Casual Gourmet and we just had to share Mike and Molly’s!

Questions to Ask Your Caterer (Part 1)
Nearly every wedding magazine or blog will caution you to be certain that your caterer is licensed and insured (both are absolute musts!), but the caterer will be a big part of your day and you may want to dig a little deeper. Consider asking: How long have you been in business and do you […]
Oh, For the Love of Linens!
With the seemingly limitless linen options available these days – from feather-light organza overlays to sumptuous damasks, and from fun textures to funky prints (zebra stripes anyone?) – it’s never been easier to use the humble tablecloth to really make a statement at your reception. Whatever your palette and whatever your theme, there’s a linen […]
