The perfect venue!

It is the perfect Hollywood glamour in the country side! Jake, Liz and the team make you feel like absolute royalty, every detail is thought out, staying there is out of a movie. Having a wedding there is magical! We could not recommend enough, the venue is unique and gorgeous and was able to great such different but cohesive experiences for us as a couple and our guests. The location is central but still able to be private and intimate, guests can stay within walking distance easily between the hotels and airbnbs which was a huge plus for us. The team worked super well with our other vendors which was awesome! We had the best weekend of our lives and could not recommend the CAPE enough! Thank you!!!

Dream wedding

We got married at the Cape in the fall, and we knew that planning a wedding wasn’t an easy task, but Jake and Elizabeth at the Cape made it all seamless. We can’t put into words how perfect the entire weekend was. The rooms were immaculate and so cozy, the service was insane, and the breakfast served was perfection. Kudos to the chef there!! They took care of every detail and really got to know us.

We can’t recommend working with the Cape enough.

Stop looking for your wedding venue - you just found it!

My wife Cassie and I got married at The CAPE in September 2023. From the planning stages to actual wedding day, Jake and the team at The CAPE have created a true gem in Prince Edward County.

We had 106 guests and it was a perfect amount of people for the size of the venue. The four rooms on-site at The CAPE were ideal for family to stay at - extremely spacious and tastefully decorated.

When it came to vendors to work with, The CAPE had no shortage of great ones to contact. We used a local A/V vendor who had experience working at The CAPE, and they couldn't have done a better job.

We held our ceremony on the venue grounds, the dinner in a large white outdoor tent on the front lawn, and our reception in the funky Odyssey room which we covered from head to toe in tinsel.

If you're thinking about having your wedding here, you can stop - this is the spot.

Stunning venue and incredible team

The team at The CAPE seamlessly turned our wedding vision into a reality. We couldn't be happier with how our day went. With calls for thunderstorms leading up to the day, the team planned not one back up plan, but THREE. They wanted to make sure our day was as close to what we pictured as possible - even in the rain. The service and professionalism was off the charts, and the venue itself is unbelievably stunning. Thank you Jake and team for making our day absolutely perfect!

Dream Wedding Venue

The CAPE is a magnificently beautiful venue in the heart of Prince Edward County. It has incredible space for weddings beyond just the aesthetic. It's comfortable and classy, not stuffy and old. The amazing staff are committed to curating everything about your stay, not just there to put in the hours, they truly care.

Incredible Event Venue!

Words can not express how beautiful and magical this venue is. It is a destination venue without travelling too far. In the center of the beautiful town of Picton, this enormous mansion has everything you need and more to plan the perfect event. The rooms are grogeous, the reception room is breathtaking, and the food is unbelievable. Michael gave us an incredible tour where we learned the history of the building and instantly fell in love. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who does not want to get married in the city. Although really big, it has an incredibly intimate feel and the CAPE team will do anything they can to make sure your day is perfect! I can't wait to go back!
