Wellfleet Preservation Hall was the perfect venue for our 100 person wedding. From the beginning, the staff was incredibly helpful and responsive, making the planning process smooth. Over the course of the year, there were multiple event coordinators as people changed over. Heather, who we ended up working with, picked up our event and the details professionally and was very timely in communications and very attentive during the rehearsal and the wedding day. The hall provided liquor and bartending services at a very reasonable rate, and also had tables, linens, and high tops available, which helped us save on rental costs. They also have audio/visual setups which was a help to our DJ. If you don't want to plan each vendor individually, I'd recommend a wedding planner. There are no packages for this venue, so we brought in catering, rentals, floral, dj, etc. The venue garden is absolutely beautiful, with a functional and artsy space indoors that allowed our 100 guests to move seamlessly between the indoor hall areas and the lovely garden and patio area. (It would have been cramped with any more than 100 if eating inside). It does have an elevator as well and is easy for older guests to get around. We did our ceremony outside in the garden, cocktail hour on the patio, dinner upstairs, and dancing downstairs with the bar on the patio. I'd highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, functional, and unique space for their special day. Our guests keep telling us how wonderful it was.

The thing about Martha's Vineyard is the history and the home-iness of it. You get all of that at Juniper Place. Not only are you renting a house, where your wedding party can opt to stay and/or get ready, but you're renting a venue with private beach access, just a few minutes from town. It is the ideal location and setup, and its gorgeous beyond words. Watching the ferry go by, the views of the ocean...its pure magic. The best part about Juniper is the amazing photo opps - the dock, the sandy beach, the beautiful wildflowers growing around the property - make for a perfect backdrop - an all encompassing wedding venue. Katie is a breeze to work with and they are super flexible with all special requests. Can't wait to come back to Juniper Place!

Shining Tides is an absolute gem of a venue for anyone who wants a beachy wedding!! My husband and I got married on 6/28/24, and it was the best day ever! Elizabeth was incredible to work with from start to finish. She was extremely communicative, organized, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the whole planning process. The whole day felt seamless and perfect, and our vision truly came to life. The venue itself is stunning- truly picturesque! An added bonus that Shining Tides teams with Russell Morin for catering- the food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and our guests can’t stop raving about it all!
