Planning a seaside wedding with Victorian charm? I’ve wandered the streets of Cape May and honestly, it’s like stepping into a romantic novel. If you’re picturing ocean views, cozy beaches, and those darling historic inns, I think you’ll feel right at home here. I fell in love with how it blends elegance and ease—you just might too.
Highlights:
- Congress Hall – I watched a ceremony on the lawn here, and it felt straight out of a movie. You’ll love the grand vibe, the beach breeze, and those elegant ballrooms for your celebration.
- The Southern Mansion – If you’re like me and love a garden full of blooming flowers and vintage details, this restored estate will win you over. I felt like I’d found a secret hideaway.
- Willow Creek Winery – I sipped wine here under twinkling lights and thought, “this would be an amazing wedding spot.” You’ll get vineyard charm with just the right amount of Cape May flair.
- Cape May Point State Park – I walked this beach trail near the lighthouse and could totally picture a barefoot ceremony here. If you're going for simple, scenic, and serene—you’ll love it.
- Beachfront Weddings on Cape May Beach – Toes in the sand, waves in the background—it’s a classic for a reason. I’ve seen couples completely relaxed and glowing here, and you could be next.
