Budget "Beach" wedding

Tabbie11

I have always looved the idea of having my toes in the sand for my wedding. I never thought i would want the whole deal, but now that I work in the industry and planning my own I cant help but dream since i am surrouned by wedding/catering stuff on a daily basis.
 We have thought about doing a destination wedding ceremony and having a party/reception back home and dont need anything fancy and bedazzled but still want something nice pretty and fun. Or I would love to do a cape cod wedding and have a beach ceremony there but it is sooo expensive. I am working on a tight budget, any venue suggestions for something a litte less expensive but stil fun and impressive? A smaller venue is OK since we are likely inviting less than 100 people.

I had my wedding at the SeaCrest and it was gorgeous right on the beach. For a smaller wedding on a tight budget..check out Falmouth Yacht Club. I looked into having my wedding there, but we had 150 people.

Big vote again for Bournedale function facility... Not the ocean but it's an old summer camp all redone to a retreat and conference center... PLUS you can rent the cabins for guests to stay in ( sort of camping but nicer) for reasonable money and they will make a BONFIRE for after the activities.  They also have kayacks and a place to swim and little boats...

Guests can stay 2 or 3 nights and have a mini vacation at about the price of half a room at the seacrest... I'ts a whole lot of fun.  

I have only been there to help set up weddings and events so have not eaten there yet.. but the new manager is a meticulous guy and is working really hard to make it fabulous and doing a great job. (Darrin i want to say)

There is an arbor available for a pondfront lawn wedding in a great setting.  then a big open windowed hall for dinner and dancing with outdoor decks all around.

I'm still trying to figure out a reason to rent the place for all my friends for the weekend... minivacation and wedding... so good!  do take a peek!

We are getting married at the Orleans Waterfront Inn- they are on the town cove in Orleans and have a beautiful historic windmill on site where the ceremony will be..reception to follow on their waterfront deck! We are only having about 100 people.

We are getting married at the cape codder in June. We are paying $6700 total. That includes the Beach ceramony, a shuttle that brings the guests to the beach, the reception room, a backup hall in case it rains, our cake with chocolate covered strawberries, catering, and the champange for our toast. We also get an ice sculpture I believe, and a room for the night of our wedding. We are having 80 people total. They also set up the reception room for you with all your centerpieces and linens. I am not sure of what your budget is but I think for all thats included in this was a good price, conpared to everywhere else I looked. good luck!
