A tried and true tradition: The Dennis Inn has hosted many great weddings
Built in the early 1900s, The Dennis Inn is a distinguished venue on an attractive parcel of land alongside a cranberry bog. The inn’s stately façade features slightly weathered shingles and traditional blue shutters, and welcoming Adirondack chairs are arranged on the lawn. The interior boasts dazzling hardwood floors and a large, beautiful ballroom. These are just some of the many details that have attracted countless couples over the years to celebrate their weddings at The Dennis Inn.
Under new ownership in 2016, the inn retains its classic style, and continues to offer couples a one-of-a-kind wedding experience. Mark Flanagan purchased the inn in February; Flanagan and Fred Stoffel also purchased Treats Catering, the exclusive caterer for all the inn’s events. Stoffel is the executive chef, while Janene Hargreaves serves as general manger.
“We customize each wedding,” says Stoffel. “When you’re here, you’re the only one here. It’s your home for the weekend.” Stoffel and Hargreaves will work with couples to plan every detail of their dream wedding, including decorations and the menu, and how best to make use of the inn’s grounds and pool. They will also offer suggestions for music, flowers, the cake and more.
The Dennis Inn’s “Deluxe Saturday Wedding Package” includes lodging on Friday and Saturday night for up to eight guests, with wedding itineraries including a Friday night rehearsal dinner in the upstairs dining room, the wedding ceremony and reception on Saturday (indoors or out), and a lavish Sunday brunch. The inn can accommodate indoor ceremonies for parties up to 120 guests, and outdoor weddings on the spacious grounds for up to 250.
