In Their Words
Reflections on Saltmarsh
Victoria
"We are so grateful we came across Saltmarsh Hospitality Group and Emily in particular, while planning our wedding. We couldn't be happier with her attention to detail and willingness to accommodate us. They provided guidance every step of the way along with many options to make our day unique. Our wedding turned out perfect, better than we had imagined! We will be forever grateful for Emily and her team!! We hope to work with them again for future events!"

"We just had our wedding here and it was the most perfect day! We rented the entire venue for the weekend for our family and bridal party. Emily, the DOC was super accommodating, and the entire staff of this family-owned Inn went above and beyond at every opportunity! The grounds are beautiful and rooms luxurious with a comfortable feel! We had a buffet style dinner that was hot and delicious. We really cannot say enough how important it was that we decided to have our wedding here!"
Shannen
"The facility is a great beach side venue which offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. We utilized both and enjoyed a garden party feel outside, and guests upstairs enjoyed dining on the covered balcony with a view of the beach. Jen, our Event Director, was easy to work with and she made sure all the details were covered. The food was very good, and the bar and service staff were very professional. We considered a variety of options, and the Ocean Club was the perfect location."

The Inn offers 17 charming guest rooms including a bridal suite. In order to reserve a room block, a mastercredit card must be on file to secure the guest rooms.

All rooms must be secured one month prior to arrival date. 30 days prior to the arrival date, the Innkeeper will reach out to confirm all reservations and any additional rooms not booked will be released and available to the public, unless you prefer the Inn be private- we can charge the additional rooms at a discounted rate to the master credit card
