Bride and groom kissing in the round garden during a Cape Cod elopement
Plan your romantic elopement on the quiet side of the Cape.

As Easy as Buying an Ice Cream Cone

Times were, when weddings were complicated affairs, that required months, sometimes years to prepare, and cost as much as a small house.  That’s all changed.  A phone call or a couple of clicks on your smart phone or laptop is all that’s required to get your wedding started, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how little more there is to do.

The Ultimate Private Wedding

For You and Up to 4 Guests

A heightened wedding experience — memories for a lifetime.

Cape Cod has been a compelling backdrop for love and for weddings for generations, and we are pleased to offer you a curated luxury wedding package that incorporates some of the Cape’s best features. Celebrate your love for each other as you watch the sun disappear behind the waves in an unforgettable burst of color, or toast each other over a fine outdoor dinner overlooking the harbor, as a sailboat comes gliding silently into its berth.

Wander hand in hand through a magical holly forest, or savor complete relaxation as you drift softly to sleep during a soothing hot stone massage. The marriage vows and ensuing celebration are a fitting highlight to it all, something you’ll be able to recall years later when you smile at each other and say “Remember when…?”

Here’s what you receive with the package:

  • Your choice of ceremony location, either the first floor of our romantic inn, or our romantic gardens
  • Wedding flowers, a deluxe bouquet and boutonnière (may be substituted with two bouquets or two boutonnières by advance request)
  • A 12″ deluxe cake with any combination of the following flavors: lemon, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or mocha
  • The officiant for your vows
  • A digital album of high-quality photographs
  • Your choice of Veuve Clicquot, Bollinger, or Moët champagne
  • Crystal champagne glasses you keep as a memento of your celebration
  • A ferry ticket voucher for two towards a joyful day trip to Martha’s Vineyard
  • A $250 voucher to the Falmouth restaurant of your choice
  • A $300 voucher towards either a deluxe massage for two at Bellezza Day Spa, or in season towards an unforgettable sail on the Schooner Liberté
  • A $300 gift certificate towards an anniversary stay at Palmer House Inn for your first anniversary or other visit to reminisce, retrace familiar walks, and re-experience the magic of your wedding

$3,500 plus the cost of your room for your three-day or longer stay. We respectfully request that you reserve your curated wedding a month or longer in advance.
