Thank you for considering the Arch Cape Inn & Retreat for your next event! For those seeking an outstanding location for a memorable wedding for up to 35 guests, the Arch Cape Inn is ideal. We specialize in offering warmth and hospitality not readily found today that allows family and friends to gather in a relaxed atmosphere for your wedding. Together we will help you experience a reception that will delight both you and your guests. Once you have reviewed the wedding information listed below, let us show you how we can help make your wedding a special and memorable one and why a magical setting, caring service, and top quality are the attributes most often expressed by those whom we have served in the past.
Lodging
We have nine rooms which can accommodate up to 18 people. Most of our rooms have new Davenport pillowtop mattresses, down quilts and pillows, private baths, most have fireplaces, and/or soaking tubs. The cost to reserve the rooms varies by day and season. A multi-course gourmet breakfast is included and served to your guests each morning.
May 1st to September 30th
We require a 2 night minimum stay, with a 3 night minimum stay on holiday weekends. Holiday weekends are Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day. Renting less than the entire Inn is restricted to Sunday-Thursday nights and non-holiday weekends.
October 1st to April 30th
You may reserve a 1 or 2+ night stay. For 1 night stays, we will reserve dates on Sunday through Thursday nights only.
Wedding and Reception Information
You may also have your wedding ceremony and reception at the Inn. We have a beautiful garden and large cedar trellis perfect for an outdoor wedding ceremony. (A tent may be needed as a precaution for inclement weather.) The inside Living Room and Conservatory are also beautiful choices for the ceremony and reception. Your ceremony and reception will be planned as a four-hour affair. If renting the entire Inn, you may celebrate into the wee hours, if you so choose. However, we require that the catering function is ended no later than 8:30, so that we have time to clean and prepare breakfast in the morning for you!
If renting all rooms, there is an Event Service Fee that allows for the use of the entire facility, with some exclusions. This fee also accommodates the hiring of extra staff and other necessary expenses not normally incurred by the Inn. The best aspect of this fee is that the Innkeeper will help coordinate the event and will stay in close communication with you as the details of the special day draw near. This is of great benefit, especially if you are planning from a distance. If renting less than all the rooms, the Event Fee is more modest and holds a few more restrictions for the use of the property.
Event Service Fees
For weddings and events that rent all the rooms in the Inn with a total guest list of up to 35, there is a fee of $750.00 from October 1 to April 30 that allows the use of the entire facility, with some exclusions. From May 1 to September 30, there is a $1,000.00 event fee.
For weddings and events that rent fewer than all the rooms in the entire Inn with a total guest list of up to no more than 20, there is an event fee of $400.00 from October 1 to April 30. From May 1 to September 30, there is a fee of $600.00. The event is limited to the use of the Conservatory only.
For outside groups of up to 20 wishing to use our Conservatory, there is an event fee of $350.00.
Children
If the entire Inn is rented, the entire facility may be used for the event. In this case children under 12 are allowed as guests. If fewer rooms than the entire Inn are rented, the reception may only be held in the Conservatory, which can accommodate up to 20 people. Out of consideration for other guests staying at the Inn, our normal age restrictions apply and we cannot accommodate children younger than 12.
Catering
Our Chef caters all on-site events.
A 1 night stay is limited to a heavy hors d'oeuvres menu only. Heavy hors d'oeuvres receptions start at $40/person. They include 4 hors d'oeuvres, beverages, table wine and beer, a champagne toast and a simple sheet cake.
Buffet or plated dinners range from $60-$120/person depending on the menu. This includes a choice of 3 appetizers, 2 salads, 3 side dishes, 2 entrees, beverages, table wine and beer, a champagne toast and a simple sheet cake.
Alcohol Policy: We do not allow hard alcohol to be served on the premises.
Deposits
We require a non-refundable deposit in the amount of $1000 to guarantee your reservation.
A secondary deposit of 50% will be due in six months prior to your event.
Final payment is due four weeks before your wedding.
All deposits are non-refundable, unless the dates you have reserved are re-booked for another wedding reception.
