The Perfect Package wedding menu

The Perfect Package wedding menu was designed
by Shelly Hippler-Conway, coordinator for every
wedding at the Captain Linnell House for the
past twenty years. This package is elegant,
simple, family oriented, and as stress-free
as we can make it. The
"Perfect Package" includes everything
you need for your exquisite and unique Cape
Cod wedding day at half the price of "waterview"
sites. Let us help you to create your romantic and
memorable wedding reception that truly reflects
the spirit of Cape Cod.
Whether you have a large wedding or an intimate gathering in mind, rest assured we will treat each guest as our own. You will find that we are flexible and able to meet your needs for any size event. We offer several choices for parties of 50 to 200 people. The enclosed menus show a sampling of our fare and prices.
We pride ourselves on being able to cater to large parties with the same care and attention to detail as for smaller, more intimate events. Our package is designed to be clear and simple to understand, both in detail and pricing. We take particular pleasure in knowing that we can help plan and create for you a special event that will remain in your memories forever.
