It’s springtime on the Cape and Islands. The temperature is steadily rising, restaurants and resorts are reopening or reenergizing, and soon the summer will be here. Love, too, is in the air.

The Cape and Islands are wonderful spots for weddings because the scenery, first and foremost, is amazing. The region also boasts a variety of fantastic venues where couples can exchange their vows, from high-class resorts and restaurants to casual campgrounds and beachy bungalows.

Leading off this section, Elizabeth O’Brien Betti describes her 2015 wedding celebrated at the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown. Both Cape Cod natives, O’Brien Betti and her husband spent more than a year collecting antiques, shells and other decor items to display around the monument grounds during their nautical-themed nuptials.

Here, we profile eight great Cape Cod businesses that are well known for their wedding services and expertise. The businesses include three venues, two hair and beauty salons, one florist, one baker and a one-of-a-kind wedding table maker.  —Matthew J. Gill
