I got engaged about a month ago and we are now gearing up to find a venue. My Fiance grew up on the South Shore and as such we'd love to look in the area/cape cod for a wedding in September 2012...but the sheer number of venues is making my head spin. We are aiming for around 140 or so people, perhaps a little less, and are okay with spending 35,00-45,000 all in. I'm dreaming of a classic, timeless, waterfront, casual, nautically sort of wedding, ideally in a venue that can have both the ceremony and the reception. I don't necessarily need a beach, actually, I don't really see myself getting married ON a beach per se.
In case you can't tell, I'm kind of particular.
So far my front runners are Chequessett yacht club, the Dennis Inn, and Pamet Harbor Yacht Club (which might be my fave, but i'm afraid it's too small).
We are heading up to MA over Memorial Day to visit family and try to see a few places, but I would love to have some insight so I'm not wasting my time!
Thanks much!
