Wedding Venue Search: The Sea View

Cape Cod wedding venue search

Back in April we toured 5 wedding venues along the cape. I wanted to share my opinions on each venue and what we ultimately picked. I had a hard time finding opinions on some venues so I hope this will help other Cape Cod brides! 

While everyone has different ideas on what they envision their wedding day to look and feel like, our ultimate goal was if we are making our guests travel to the cape there should be an ocean view at the wedding. Today,  I will be sharing our experience touring The Sea View  in Dennisport. 

This venue is located across from the beautiful beaches in Dennisport. I would consider this venue affordable for a cape wedding. You could manage $20,000 for a wedding here (depending on how many are in your party). 

Positives: 
+The Sea View offers a wide variety of a meal menu options 
+I liked the room with the bar. I thought the bar area was classy.
+The ability to get married on their terrace and cocktail hour outside. However, there is no ocean view. Only if you turn your back.
+There are plenty of hotels with short walking distances to the venue (no transportation would be required for guests)
+Great option for large wedding 
+Family owned and operated local business

Dislikes:
+The room where the reception would be held was very plain and basic. There is no ocean view. 
+If you want to get married at the beach across the street, you would have to have the florist organize seating ($$).
+If it was raining out the room where we would get married in was terrible. Small, bright blue rugs, and would not fit all of our guests.
+For whatever reason, I couldn't get myself to like the bright blue rugs throughout
+Bridal party room was dark and uninviting (minor detail) 

I really loved the owner, Gayle. She is definitely someone you would want running the show the day of your wedding. Professional and very organized. The chef at their restaurant the Ebb Tide orders and organizes the food for their weddings as well. 

Overall, I think they have prime real estate that was not ideally designed for weddings. The decor is not that appealing and it left us wanting more.
