Small Weddings & Elopements

A wedding week on the cliff

We host elopements and small ceremonies

A couple exchanging vows under the brick arch at the end of the terrace, fog over Frenchman Bay behind them
A bouquet of peach dahlias and roses on a velvet chair by the window, with shoes, vows and an invitation
Bald Porcupine island in the fog on Frenchman Bay, framed by pines from the cliff
A candlelit dinner table with dahlias, guests talking in the background
Seated guests watching a couple kiss, framed by the arch with pines and the bay beyond, in black and white
The wooden Game House in the woods, strung with lights at dusk
Looking out through the arched doorway to the wet drive and the pines after rain
Morning in the living room: a suit hung by the window, a lamp and a bouquet on the sofa
Frenchman Bay and Bald Porcupine island seen through pines from the porch
The Game House cleared for a wedding dinner, long tables under strings of lights

How it works

Email us with the week you have in mind, roughly how many people would be staying, and what you are picturing for the day. We would be excited to help you plan a special experience. The house rents by the week, Saturday to Saturday; the availability calendar shows which weeks are open.

Tell us what you have in mind

A week on the cliff, and a small celebration in the middle of it
