If you are planning a small wedding (20 or so guests) in Cape May, then we would love to discuss the possibility of hosting your family and friends for your big day. Dozens of couples have started their lives together at The Queen Victoria, sometimes holding their small ceremony in one of our parlors. More frequently, the wedding ceremony is held at one of our beautiful churches or on the beach (often with our parlor as a "rain plan").

Entertaining a group is a challenge for you if you want to enjoy your guests. We don't like spending all our time at breakfast in the kitchen, but would rather be in the dining room enjoying our company, too. So most of the recipes we have included can be both prepared in advance, and kept warm on a buffet or sideboard for elegant, easy entertaining. Other recipes for breads, cookies, and spreads are improved by being prepared in advance and frozen or refrigerated to blend flavors before serving.
