From the reviews

Jeff and I got married on November 4th 2022. What an INCREDIBLE experience. Right when we walked into Fishermen’s Inn, we were sold on the venue just by the property and interiors of it. Little did we know the beautiful place would be paired with an AMAZING staff.

★★★★★ — Jenna, Nov 2022

We fell in love with Fishermen's Inn the moment we walked in. Looking back on our wedding day, we are so grateful for the entire team. From start to finish, the process was flawless. Our coordinator, Kara, was always insightful with suggestions every time we met.

★★★★★ — Loren, Feb 2021

We can’t thank Fishermen's Inn enough for going above and beyond for our wedding. From start to finish, everyone was professional, kind, helpful, and excited right along with us. We looked forward to every meeting, and having Erin at the helm of the event gave me so much comfort.

★★★★★ — Katy, Dec 2024

This new Mr and Mrs highly recommend you consider this year round gorgeous venue and their fantastic team! The grounds themselves are a picture of rustic and modern beauty and Patti's team at Fishermen's Inn is everything- charming, intuitive, service-oriented.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Dec 2024

Getting married at Fishermen's Inn

Fishermen's Inn comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
