Chatham Bars Inn

Chatham Bars Inn is a quintessential Cape Cod wedding venue that offers incredible light, ocean views, and classic New England elegance. The sweeping lawns overlooking the Atlantic create a bright, open setting where natural light wraps beautifully around couples during ceremonies. The waterfront location reflects soft light all day long, which is ideal for airy portraits and emotional candids. Indoor reception spaces are filled with windows, keeping celebrations bright even as the evening unfolds. Sunset portraits along the beach and lawn feel romantic, and effortlessly coastal.

Couples typically book 12–18 months in advance, especially for summer and early fall weekends. Most wedding packages include 5–6 hours of event time. Total wedding costs often fall in the luxury range, with many couples investing $75,000–$150,000+, depending on guest count and season.

Chatham Bars Inn can accommodate up to 300 guests, depending on the event space. The venue offers both outdoor lawns and elegant indoor ballrooms, providing flexibility for New England weather. Catering and bar service are in-house, and tastings are typically included during planning. There are beautiful getting-ready suites on-site, a seamless rain backup plan, flexible vendor policies, and on-site luxury accommodations for couples and guests, making the entire weekend feel elevated and stress-free.

Fun fact: A couple that got married here had Bruno Mars as their entertainment. Charlie Puth's sister also got married here!
