Pelham House Wedding

November 10, 2024 Emilie Pickering

A summer wedding at Pelham House on Cape Cod is truly something special. For Anna and Mike, getting married on the Cape was a dream rooted in family memories. For Anna, Cape Cod has been her summer sanctuary, a place woven into her family’s legacy. Her love for the Cape goes back generations, with summers spent at her grandparents’ family home, a tradition her mother continued and cherished. Now, she and her husband Mike have shared in these traditions, spending many summers here, deepening their love for the Cape during the pandemic and wedding planning.

With a love for details and an eye for logistics, Anna found joy in planning every element of the wedding day. She envisioned classic coastal invitations and touches like Four Seas ice cream at the rehearsal dinner. Music was also at the heart of her celebration, with a live band setting the tone for an unforgettable dance party. From the start, her vision was clear, and her mother, an experienced event planner, was right by her side. Together with Mike, the three became a decision-making “tribunal,” balancing tradition with personal touches. One lighthearted example: the bride wasn’t keen on symbols for each event on the details card, but when Mike and her mom voted for them, she embraced it, affectionately calling them “emojis.”

Planning this wedding on the Cape was not only a labor of love but a chance to blend family traditions with new memories. Now, as they look back on their beautiful day, they know they’ve created a moment that honors the past and celebrates their future together.
