“Choosing the Park Chateau was the best decision we could have made! From the moment we showed interest in the venue, we could tell that their service is top notch. Devin the sales manager was so responsive via email and phone. Throughout the entire planning process, she and her team walked us through every step with so much organization and helpful tips, to make sure no detail was missed, and to make sure that we did not have to worry about anything on our wedding day. As soon as we arrived at the venue for our wedding day, we truly felt like royalty. The bridal suite is so spacious for our entire bridal party to get ready in and have fun. The bridal attendants were amazing and helped us get ready and set everything up for the photographer. We brought some personal things to display for our memory table, and jewelry/details for our getting ready photos, and we did not have to worry about setting it up at all. Their team did it all for us! One flower girl arrived with stains in her dress and the team managed to get all the stains out. The team made sure to contact all of our vendors to coordinate their arrivals, set up, and tips, so we did not have to worry about a thing on our big day. They truly made our entire wedding day stress free! The communication between the team members is phenomenal. They are aware of everything and make sure no detail gets missed. They made sure my husband and I had quality time together at our wedding so we can actually enjoy the moment, time with our guests, time to eat, and also time to dance. I hear so many people say they did not eat at their wedding, or they barely made it on the dancefloor. The PC staff makes sure you get it all on your wedding day. The bridal attendants made sure my dress was bustled, clean and spotless the entire night. They made sure we were comfortable, even providing us cold towels to cool off after a lot of dancing. They were always nearby with drinks and water throughout the night, making sure we had everything and anything we could need. Their team is one of the main things that stand out compared to all other venues, and I cannot even put into words how exceptional they are. They are kind, professional, and SO helpful. And of course the venue itself is BEAUTIFUL - from the grounds to the ballroom, to the hotel right nextdoor. Everything is perfectly clean, decorated, and manicured. Our guests have not stopped raving about how amazing the food and cocktail hour was, how beautiful the venue was, and how convenient it was to be able to walk next door to the hotel. Shout out to the best team - Devin, Oscar, Dawn, Ashley, Jeremiah, and Kerianne. I truly cannot explain how grateful we are to have had such an amazing team and the most incredible wedding day. I am still in awe of how perfect it was. The Park Chateau is worth every penny. Now we are hoping someone we know gets married here soon so we can experience it again as guests!”

“We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and welcome party here on a Saturday night in June of 2024 and I would book this again and again if I could! We had around 35 people for the dinner which was hosted in a semi-private area downstairs. We had salads, appetizers and then three options for meals and every option was delicious!! We then head upstairs where we hosted a welcome party for about 100 guests and the Hors d'oeuvres food served buffet style upstairs was just as good as the plated dinner we had downstairs. The dessert was also amazing!! Everyone was raving about the location and the staff helping to work the bar were so friendly. The venue was BYOB and they made it easy to drop off the alcohol ahead of time and kept it cold and restocked constantly. Everyone was so great to work with and they customized everything exactly how we wanted it. I truly can't recommend Spiaggetta enough!! We loved the food so much we went back for dinner a few days later while we staying in Stone Harbor for a few days. The location also can't be beat it is right across the street from the Reeds and within walking distance from everything in Stone Harbor!”

“We were searching for the perfect venue to host an intimate and special wedding celebration dinner in Cape May -one of our favorite beach towns - and Peter Shields Inn exceeded every expectation. Beautifully located just across the street from the beach in Cape May, NJ, the setting alone is stunning and full of charm. They graciously accommodated our group of 30 guests in their Brides Room for a private dinner, and despite the smaller wedding size, it felt every bit as meaningful, elegant, and memorable as a larger wedding celebration. We were able to bring in our own wedding cake and have on-site photography, which made the evening feel even more personal and special. Our guests also enjoyed relaxing on the porch with cocktails while my husband and I took photos on the beach. It was such a lovely and seamless experience. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, but the event coordinator, Amy, truly went above and beyond. She was absolutely spectacular; always prompt, thorough, and thoughtful in her communication. She connected us with outstanding local vendors: Khalil for piano, Tim Joyce for photography, Cape Winds Florist for centerpieces, and Bake Works for our cake. Every single vendor she recommended was exceptional and easy to work with.  Amy also ensured that all dietary restrictions were handled with care and kindness, and she went out of her way to help set everything up in advance so that we could simply arrive, relax, and fully enjoy our time with our loved ones. Her patience, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire process stress-free and truly enjoyable. This was truly a 10/10 experience for us. We highly recommend Peter Shields Inn to anyone looking for a beautiful, intimate, and unforgettable setting to celebrate a marriage or special occasion. It was everything we hoped for and more.”

“I recently got married at the Chalfonte Hotel this past June. It was the most magical day. From the serene beauty of the Willow Tree garden to the simple elegance of the Magnolia Room, everything about the day was perfect. Of course, everyone loved having cocktail hour on the porch, which is personally my favorite part of the hotel. Even before and after the wedding family and friends loved getting together on the porch, having a cocktail, and just enjoying Cape May. I cannot begin to express how kind and amazing the staff are at the Chalfonte. Planning a wedding can definitely feel overwhelming but Ellie was so helpful and communicative every step of the way. Any ideas that we had about how we wanted the day to go she was so receptive to. She made sure that everything we had envisioned was there on our wedding day. If you want a wedding somewhere that is naturally beautiful, fun, and perfectly located, I highly recommend booking you wedding at the Chalfonte Hotel.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about the Inn of Cape May and our experience having our wedding there. From the very beginning, the entire team made the process feel so easy and stress-free, but Jeri Anne truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. Jeri Anne was absolutely fantastic. She took care of every detail, answered all of my questions, and made sure everything came together exactly how I pictured it. Being able to drop off our wedding items ahead of time was such a huge help, and knowing that Jeri Anne and her team were handling everything gave me so much peace of mind. When I walked into the reception space and saw everything set up so beautifully, it was truly better than I imagined. The staff at the Inn of Cape May was also incredible. Every person we interacted with was kind, accommodating, and genuinely wanted to make our day special. They made our guests feel welcomed and taken care of, and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for, and so much of that was because of the amazing team at the Inn of Cape May. We are so grateful to Jeri Anne and everyone who helped make our wedding day so unforgettable. I would recommend the Inn of Cape May to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with a team that truly cares about their couples. For reference we had 86 people, the cocktail hour, and ballroom were the perfect size, and we had room for lots of dancing in the ballroom.”

“This was a dream wedding venue and team. We held cocktail hour upstairs, dinner and dancing under the beautiful tent! Alyssa was an absolute pleasure to work with! She always had the calmest, positive and open delivery throughout each step of a stressful wedding process. She made the process much easier and really worked with us to address all of our questions and needs throughout the year of planning. During our last visit, Alyssa had the best ideas for design and layout. These ideas really made our photos stand out. The chef, Joey, was truly unbelievable. All of our guests said best food at a wedding and better yet, best food in general! Both Joey and Alyssa were so helpful coming up with interesting menu ideas. The staff- every single bartender and waiter was on it! No cup was empty, no one was waiting on their food, all allergies were correctly listened to. Not only was the service amazing, but they all were happy to be there, adding positive energy to our big day. I can't recommend Alyssa and her team enough! Thank you!!! XO”
