Celebrate your special day amidst some of the most spectacular scenery in the Northeast. The 2,100-acre Crane Estate is an unforgettable destination for your special event with its winding salt marshes, miles of barrier beach, and beautiful hilltop mansion. Chicago industrialist Richard T. Crane, Jr. first purchased the land that would become The Crane Estate in 1910. Crane was captivated by the beautiful landscape, and over the next two decades worked with some of America's leading architects and landscape architects to shape his summer retreat, sited with hilltop vistas of the Atlantic in an area of the property known as Castle Hill. In 1928, Castle Hill was crowned with a 59-room Stuart-style mansion designed by world-renowned architect David Adler. Today, the Crane family mansion is known as The Great House on The Crane Estate and is protected, along with the rest of Castle Hill, as a 165-acre National Historic Landmark.

Imagine waking up to a seaside breeze, a fishing fleet departing for the day's work, and a crimson sun rising over seals relaxing on sandbars. That's what it's like to wake up in the morning. It's this narrative that you'll create while staying at Chatham Bars Inn, Cape Cod's premier resort and spa destination. Guests will be captivated by the Atlantic Ocean as they arrive at our magnificent waterfront wedding venue, which will provide an intriguing and ever-changing backdrop for your special day. Until recently, Chatham Bars Inn was the only luxury destination on Cape Cod where you could hold a ceremony with your toes in the sand, right on our private beach. The Chatham Bars Inn, which opened its doors in 1914, has grown to become Cape Cod's premier luxury destination, blending timeless character and discreet charms with the sophisticated comforts of modern times. It is extremely important to us that you are able to find the perfect space on our property for your wedding reception. Every wedding at Chatham Bars Inn is one-of-a-kind, ranging from intimate beach ceremonies to large-scale tented events.

If you are planning a summer clambake on the beach with your toes in the sand, or a winter wedding reception with a roaring fire in the background, our professional staff will coordinate every detail to ensure that your celebration is everything you imagined it would be. A variety of reception venues, ranging from the comfortable (but not overly casual) Beach House Grill to the upscale Harbor View Room, are available at Chatham Bars Inn. Featuring 217 guest rooms, you and your guests will be able to relax in tranquil seaside elegance while still having access to the latest in modern amenities. The majority of our rooms have spectacular ocean views, and our twenty-six charming cottages are scattered throughout the resort, including high atop seaside bluffs, nestled in landscaped gardens, and in other picturesque locations throughout the property.
