What’s a classic Cape Cod wedding without a local band, a clambake, and a venue with some unique history?

Shaun and Maddie Gross met in Philadelphia—mutual friends, a birthday party, and the rest is history. They got engaged on a romantic weekend away in New Hampshire, “I’m usually the planner,” laughs Maddie. “So I put a bug in his ear to plan a weekend trip, and he ran with it!” They spent three months together on a cross-country road trip, visiting national parks and sleeping in a rooftop tent. And, through all these memorable moments in so many incredible places, they eventually found themselves back in Osterville where Maddie grew up for a special day and the start of a life together. 

“I always dreamed of getting married in Osterville,” reminisces Maddie. “Little did Shaun know,” she laughs. After returning from their epic road trip, the couple knew that Osterville wasn’t only the right place for them to get married; it was also where they wanted to build their lives together. They moved to the Cape full time in 2021 and got to work on planning the big day in a village they love so dearly.
