About this venue

The Captain Morse House is the perfect venue to host a spectacular event or wedding. You can really enjoy each others company when all your friends and family stay under one roof. Don’t want that mch closeness? Divide up the group into the East and West Wing; Easy Peasy! We’ve had all sorts of weddings, vow renewals, celebrations, clambakes, corporate retreats, family reunions, golf outings, birthdays , anniversaries, you name it. Your event will be one to remember whether under our three beautiful linden trees (the biggest in Edgartown) or under a custom Sperry Tent with a large dance floor to get your Boogy on. The Captain Morse House has one of Edgartown’s largest backyards. It is almost four feet above the street grade which allows for great views down Morse St. to the harbor and west for the sunset. Photographers love our natural light at the end of the day.
