From the reviews
Jeff and I got married on November 4th 2022. What an INCREDIBLE experience. Right when we walked into Fishermen’s Inn, we were sold on the venue just by the property and interiors of it. Little did we know the beautiful place would be paired with an AMAZING staff.
We fell in love with Fishermen's Inn the moment we walked in. Looking back on our wedding day, we are so grateful for the entire team. From start to finish, the process was flawless. Our coordinator, Kara, was always insightful with suggestions every time we met.
We can’t thank Fishermen's Inn enough for going above and beyond for our wedding. From start to finish, everyone was professional, kind, helpful, and excited right along with us. We looked forward to every meeting, and having Erin at the helm of the event gave me so much comfort.
Our wedding day would not have been the same without the incredible team at Fishermen's Inn. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to help us plan every detail of our reception, and it truly made the entire process feel smooth, organized, and stress-free.
Getting married at Fishermen's Inn
Fishermen's Inn comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
