Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Considered America's first seaside resort, this historic Cape May hotel is just two blocks from the beach and steps from town. The architecture is marvelously Victorian, accented by green rockers and striped awnings on the airy veranda.
- Host a ceremony in the Secret Garden, cocktails al fresco (or in the King Edward Bar), and a reception in the grand Magnolia Room. Southern-style hospitality and old family recipes will delight your guests whether it's a group of 50 or 250.
- Enjoy a complimentary on-site coordinator and wedding-night suite, plus reduced rates for their charming rooms and cottages so your guests can stay on and explore the picturesque area.
