3 Best Luxury Wedding Venues on Cape Cod

I swear I can taste the salt in the air just writing this.

You and me? We’re taking an imaginary joyride to Cape Cod right now—top down, playlist up, and zero emails in sight. We’re heading straight for the dreamy stretch of coastline that’s made for barefoot champagne toasts and those “holy sh*t, this is real life” wedding moments.

This isn’t your average wedding venue roundup. We’re talking full-blown luxury, five-star-level Cape Cod gems that’ll make your Pinterest board cry happy tears.

You ready? Let’s talk about the three most luxurious wedding venues on Cape Cod—plus an honest review from someone (hi 👋) who plans weddings for a living and still gets giddy walking through these doors.

Oh—and fair warning: this post may inspire spontaneous vision boarding, a suspicious number of open wedding tabs, and some daydreams about what you’d do with a million-dollar wedding budget. No judgment. I’m right there with you.

1. Chatham Bars Inn

Tagline IRL: Cape Cod’s Most Beautiful Address (and yeah, they live up to it)

If Cape Cod had royalty, Chatham Bars Inn would be the crown jewel.

Nestled along Shore Road, this resort is classic Cape with a five-star flex. We’re talking 217 guest rooms ranging from luxe hotel suites to spa-side sanctuaries. There’s a reason this place shows up on every “best of” list—and why it absolutely tops mine.

The Vibe
It’s old money meets modern love story. Think: black-tie on the lawn, champagne boat rides, cozy fireside cocktails. CBI is elegant, elevated, and just a little extra. In the best possible way.

The Amenities
Let’s just say… they understood the assignment. Lexus car rentals to cruise the Cape? Check. Private captained boats with champagne? Check. Tennis courts, spa, bike rentals, and pool cabanas with vibes for days? Big check. This place isn’t just a venue—it’s an experience.

Why It’s Iconic
It’s a full-service wedding dream: welcome dinner, getting-ready suites, multiple ceremony + reception options, and the kind of staff that makes you feel like Beyoncé on your big day. Bonus: it’s walking distance from The Squire—a dive bar legend that keeps the party going.

Capacity: Up to 300 guests across 7 stunning venues
Accommodations: 217 rooms and suites (yes, your guests will be very happy)
Review Snapshot: 4.8/5 on The Knot. Couples rave about the food, the service, and the serious photo ops.

2. Wequassett Resort and Golf Club

AKA: The Five-Star Favorite for the Cape Cod Sophisticate

Ah, Wequassett. This one’s the quiet luxury queen of the Cape. A little more tucked away, a little more chill, and every bit as dreamy.

The Vibe
If Chatham Bars Inn is the socialite, Wequassett is her serene, slightly mysterious sister. It’s lush, intimate, and feels like a coastal hideaway where every corner was designed to make you say, “Wait, is this real life?”

The Amenities
Golf club access for the dads. A full-blown kids’ center (with babysitting!) for the parents. Sailing, spa, tennis, fine dining, and a pool that makes you forget you even wanted the beach in the first place. (Okay okay… the beach isn’t amazing, but we can overlook a little sand if everything else is stunning.)

What Sets It Apart
It’s secluded, luxurious, and somehow manages to make even the biggest weddings feel intimate. Pro tip: dive into their 70-page wedding brochure. It’s a goldmine of floor plans, maps, and details that’ll make your Type A heart flutter.

Capacity: Up to 350 guests across 13 versatile venues
Accommodations: 10 types of rooms and suites, all dripping in elegance
Review Snapshot: 4.8/5 on The Knot. Words like “spectacular,” “dream come true,” and “impeccable” get thrown around a lot. For good reason.

3. Wychmere Beach Club

Underrated? Absolutely. But this hidden gem’s got main character energy.

Now let’s talk about the wild card in this luxury lineup. Wychmere isn’t always the first name people drop—but once they see it? Game over. They’re hooked.

The Vibe
Coastal cool meets Cape Cod classic. This venue is perched along 20 acres of dreamy harborfront and feels like a barefoot-chic fantasy.

The Perks
It’s walkable to Harwichport’s main drag (restaurants, art galleries, oyster bars—yes please). The rooftop terrace at their newest venue, Dune, is a stunner. And the cottage suites? Straight-up Pinterest goals.

Let’s Talk Accommodations
Oceanview rooms, full-blown six-bedroom cottages, and guest suites that’ll make your out-of-towners feel like they’re on a luxury vacation. The cherry on top? There are plenty of nearby rentals for guests who want to stay off-property—but still close enough to walk.

Capacity: Up to 500 (yes, FIVE HUNDRED) guests across 5 venues
Accommodations: Rooms, suites, and houses that can fit your whole crew
Review Snapshot: 4.9/5 on The Knot. Top-rated venue on the Cape, with couples shouting out the “unbelievable service” and “incredible staff.”

Bonus Round: Want to Go Full Coastal Granddaughter? Say Hello to Nantucket.

Not technically Cape Cod, but close enough to count—and too gorgeous to gatekeep.

• The Wauwinet: Private, pristine, and impossibly photogenic.
• The Nantucket Hotel: Literally the #1 luxury hotel in the U.S. File under: dreamy AF.
• Great Harbor Yacht Club: For all your Kennedy-family-wedding-core vibes.

Nantucket isn’t for the faint of heart (or wallet), but if you’re going all in on a once-in-a-lifetime event, this is your island.

The Wildflower Wrap-Up:

If you’re dreaming of luxe views, champagne moments, and a wedding weekend that feels like the set of a Nancy Meyers film (but with better music and more oysters)—Cape Cod is calling.

Whether you go all-in at Chatham Bars, keep it refined at Wequassett, or show off your coastal cool side at Wychmere, you literally can’t go wrong.

Just promise me you’ll invite me, okay?
