Cape Cod is a very special place to our daughter and her fiancé. Since our families live on opposite coasts, they wanted a location where we could all spend time together and get to know each other. Our first visit to Eagle's Neck was during a February snowstorm. The owners warmly welcomed us to their home and we knew immediately that this was the place we were seeking. When we arrived in August for the wedding week-end, the house was immaculate, the grounds and flowers manicured and everything looked wonderful. There were 19 immediate family members of all ages who stayed on the property. The bride and groom wanted a private location where the children and adults could play together. The children were busy visiting the chickens, gathering eggs for breakfast, playing games, swinging, and having fun at the water. The adults joined them catching minnows, crabs, swimming at the swimming hole and playing games on the lush lawn. The property is large enough that family members could be together or find a quiet place to sit on the porch, swing, take a nap or enjoy the water views. The large and well equipped kitchen was the activity center of the house with family members cooking together and getting to know each other in a casual and comfortable setting. The tent for the wedding activities was set up to view the water and the magnificent sunsets. The catered rehearsal dinner for 35 was held on the patio/arbor area and a welcome party for arriving guests was under the tent. The path lights, tent lights and lights across the water provided a beautiful night setting. Wellfleet, MA is a short drive away and the wedding was held at the Wellfleet United Methodist Church (which is a lovely, small church with a delightful minister). The seated wedding lunch was under the tent at the house with a beautiful afternoon view of the water and house. All of the wedding vendors were local to the Cape and were provided excellent service. There was ample space for the wedding vendors, catering vehicles, etc. The owners were very helpful, providing detailed suggestions about activities, restaurants, markets, information about the house, etc. They were very responsive to questions and anticipated the needs of guests. We felt like we were truly guests in their home, not just clients .
We would highly recommend this location for a family retreat, wedding. or special gathering. It certainly fulfilled the vision of the bride and groom for their wedding.
