Perfect Wedding Weekend!

We had the most incredible wedding weekend at The Cape, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anything more! From start to finish, everything was absolutely beautiful and seamless.

Elizabeth and Jake were absolutely amazing leading up to the wedding and throughout the whole weekend. They made everything feel so effortless and were incredible to work with. All of the staff was so attentive and bartenders were wonderful!

We have nothing but amazing things to say about our entire experience at The Cape. The venue was beautiful, the staff was incredible, and everything came together perfectly. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our weekend so special.

The perfect wedding venue in PEC!

We got married at The CAPE in September 2026 and it was the best decision we could have possibly made. From the initial booking, throughout the planning phases, email communications, to our wedding weekend, Elizabeth and Jake were so attentive, professional, and accommodating. They worked with us closely to provide recommendations on how to transform the various spaces in order to bring our vision to life.

From the moment we arrived on our wedding weekend, all of The CAPE staff (Elizabeth, Patrick and many others) were incredibly organized, kind, warm, and attentive to all the little details and our needs. We felt so special and didn’t have to think about any logistics, which allowed us to enjoy every moment together. We had our ceremony/cocktail hour outside, followed by dinner in the Odyssey ballroom, and dancing in the Joplin Hall. The staff really allowed us to utilize the entire venue for our wedding, even when this meant moving the bar to three different locations. Guests consistently commented on how amazing the staff were and how there was always someone asking if they needed anything (food, drinks, etc). Our families and friends were all in awe of just how beautiful the venue is and how seamlessly the day flowed. Another highlight is the proximity of The CAPE to so many accommodations within Picton. Our guests loved having the ability to walk to and from the venue.

Having the opportunity to stay at the venue for our wedding weekend was so unique and made the experience even more special. The rooms themselves are stunning. The breakfasts and lunch we had provided by The CAPE were delicious and helped make the wedding weekend even more seamless.

We truly had the most incredible wedding weekend, and we feel extremely lucky and grateful that we were able to host the wedding of our dreams at The CAPE. It was everything we could have hoped for and so much more!

Outstanding Service & Support!!

We honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth, Jake, and their entire team. Choosing this venue for our wedding was one of the best decisions we could have made, and we are so incredibly grateful for the experience they gave us.

From the very beginning, Elizabeth and Jake were kind, attentive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be. Their communication, organization, and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel so much easier and less stressful.

When our wedding day finally arrived, everything was absolutely seamless. Elizabeth, Jake, and their team handled everything so smoothly and professionally that we were able to completely relax, be present, and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. It is hard to put into words how much that meant to us. Knowing that everything was in such capable hands allowed us to simply soak in the day instead of worrying about what needed to happen next.

The venue itself was beautiful, but what truly made the experience exceptional was the people. The care, warmth, professionalism, and effort that went into our day did not go unnoticed. Every little detail felt thoughtfully handled, and we felt so incredibly well taken care of from start to finish.

Our wedding day was truly everything we dreamed it would be and more, and Elizabeth, Jake, and their team played such a huge role in making that possible. We will look back on our day with so much happiness, and we will always be grateful that we chose this venue.

If you are considering this venue for your wedding, we could not recommend them more highly. You will be in the best of hands. ❤️

Thank you, Elizabeth, Jake, and the entire team, for giving us such an unforgettable wedding day!

The Wedding of our Dreams!

We got married at the Cape in August, and it was the wedding of our dreams!

The venue and rooms are spectacular - beautiful, elegant, tons of character, and located near many other great accommodations and restaurants.

The food and drinks were also fantastic, everything was locally sourced and of the highest quality. We also loved all of the vendors they helped us select.

For the wedding itself, the different spaces you get to use for ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and dancing helped the day flow perfectly, with each and every space feeling so unique and well suited for each part of the day.

The staff were absolutely incredible! Elizabeth and Jake were amazing in helping us plan our perfect day, and the entire team was exceptional. From their attention to detail (special shout out for dressing to match our theme!), to the way they cared for us and our guests, we felt so special and taken care of.

To The Cape Team - thank you so much for your help in making our wedding dreams a reality! It was literally the best day of our lives!

Above and beyond!

The Cape is hands down the best wedding decision we made (and we made hundreds). The venue is obviously beautiful but the support and service that the team provided was beyond what we could have hoped for in a venue. Jake and Elizabeth were solving problems before we even knew we had them. It takes a lot for me to let go of control as a type A planner and was very worried about doing so on wedding day. I didn’t even hesitate with them on our side. Truly the best experience. Can’t say enough good things!

50 person Winter Wedding

We had our wedding at The Cape in January 2026. We opted for a smaller wedding (50 people) and did not regret our decision. The entire process leading up to and day of was seamless and completely professional. We used a number of vendors that came recommended by the venue and each one of them (photography, food, DJ, hair/makeup for my wife) were super responsive and easy to work with.

Our guests had nothing but great things to say about the day, and being able to stay and great ready at the venue was a huge bonus (again, especially for my wife getting ready all morning) and one less thing to worry about.

Could not recommend this venue more regardless of time of year or wedding size.

Exceptional

I believe you would not find any better in a wedding venue. Everything about our experience just made my wedding dreams a reality.
I discovered the CAPE through WeddingWire and it immediately became my #1 choice for a venue. From the get-go Elizabeth was absolutely incredible to work with, being the very first place to respond (I was overjoyed!!), and arranging all of the times to work out the details of our big day. Many minor details were clarified quickly and easily through e-mail, and our final run-through discussion truly had us feeling so confident and at-ease.
To the actual service:
- We booked the CAPE for the night before as well. They allowed us to arrive as early as 10:00am the day before to start setting up, and there was staff present to help with minor details like box cutters, zip ties and the little things we forgot.
Elizabeth not only stayed late to help us execute our vision, but she had some genuinely gorgeous ideas and was so hands-on with helping. It is CLEAR that she is an expert in her craft and so professional.
We ended the night with our bridal party playing in the pool table room. My husband and I also rehearsed our dinner entrance and first dance from about 2-3:00am in the Odyssey ballroom (killed it).
- the amazing service carried through to the day of. Picton got 8+ inches of snow on our wedding day/night, and our ceremony was at 6:00pm. The CAPE was SO equipped to welcome our guests with towels to dry off the snow, bags for people’s boots, and hot apple cider as a welcome. I can’t think of a single guest we spoke to who did not rave about the quality of the service, attention to detail, and of course how stunning the venue is.
- Elizabeth also helped us ‘rehearse’ the entrances for our ceremony, and on the day just quietly motioned when each person should proceed, I greatly appreciated this
- the bar staff were exceptional. They also allowed us to bring our own personalized shotski & shot glasses, & they didn’t miss a beat with people’s requests for it - this was such a highlight of our wedding!
- I would also like to shout out the chef/food service. On arrival each mini-fridge was stocked with amazing local beverages, and we had the pleasure of enjoying two breakfasts at the CAPE. The spread of juices/teas etc. was fantastic, and the food was amazing!!
- lastly, it is worth mentioning that we did all of this with our 4 month old daughter present. The Elizabeth Taylor King Suite has a perfect little area for a bassinet/pack-and-play to be set up in the vanity space, and her kick mat had a permanent home on the rug that lives in the area between the 4 suites. I could not think of a better set up for a couple with a baby/infant

Perfect Wedding Venue in Prince Edward County

My wife and I had our wedding at The CAPE in August, and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, Liz and Jake were kind, flexible, and the calmest presence you could hope for in the middle of wedding planning stress. The space itself is gorgeous, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. We especially loved being able to stay on-site with close friends and family. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and made the whole experience even more special.

A huge thank you to Liz, Jake, and the entire team at The CAPE for making our wedding such a memorable and joyful experience!

Perfect Wedding Venue

Wow!! We just had our wedding here and it was a wedding to remember not only because of the beautiful location and amenities, but also because of the service from Elizabeth and Jake. They were wonderful to work with, ensuring we had everything we needed leading up to the day and made sure our event ran smoothly. We were able to host our rehearsal dinner there, stay overnight the night before the wedding and the night of, and were able to clean up the next day. Our guests raved about the uniqueness and availability of the different spaces throughout the night, from the outdoor ceremony space, to inside the mansion, to the tent, and the odyssey ballroom. Honestly the perfect set up and overall amazing venue!!

Incredible experience, beautiful venue, wonderful staff

We had our wedding at The CAPE this year, and what an absolute pleasure it was to have held such a special event here.

First, the venue is absolutely gorgeous. From the grounds, to each main space, to the bedrooms, each has an incredible amount of character, charm and elegance. The mansion exudes a fantastic aura of luxury. The tent is beautiful, and nothing is lost from the inside of the mansion to the inside of the tent and the outside grounds.

The breakfast served each morning is unlike any BnB food you’ve ever had. It’s a true culinary experience, staying true to the name and roots of the venue. The chefs working there are true masters of their craft.

Finally, any review of The CAPE would be incomplete without bringing up the contributions of Elizabeth and Jake, the coordinators for the venue. From the moment we first reached out to inquire about the possibility of having our wedding here, Elizabeth and Jake were a constant every step of the way. Incredibly organized, well informed, helpful, and with such kindness, we couldn’t have asked for better representatives of The CAPE throughout the experience. They answered emails incredibly quickly which made wedding planning so much less stressful.

A huge thank you to them and the entire staff who made such a memorable experience come to life.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
