Ocean Wed

Cape Cod’s natural beauty and a historic mansion frame a perfect seaside wedding.

Most people who live on Cape Cod year-round already have a certain reverence for the physical beauty just minutes from their door. When it comes to weddings, no fancy trimmings or extraneous bells and whistles are necessary to celebrate the spirit of this place. All you really need to do is show up and let the timeless, intoxicating fusion of ocean and sky work its magic (a little prayer to the weather gods never hurts either).

When local residents Kathleen and Dan Hodge began planning their wedding in the fall of 2010, like many couples, they were overwhelmed by the decisions to be made. In the beginning, there was one thing they knew for sure: they wanted to give their friends and extended family an authentic Cape Cod experience.
