Have an intimate soiree at the Captain Morse House. Built in the 1840’s by John Osborne Morse, a lifelong whaler, this home is a true relic of Edgartown history. The quaint lawn and patio comfortably seat around 100 guests. This picturesque home is perfect for couples who want a quiet and picturesque ceremony. However, if you’re looking to have a bigger affair in Edgartown, consider the Harbor View Hotel. This iconic Martha’s Vineyard resort has been considered the “Crown Jewel” of the island for over a century, and lucky couples have been tying the knot here for about that long as well. Suggest that your guests stay here, or at the Winnetu Oceanside Resort at South Beach, then head to The Wharf nearby for late-night nuptial celebrations.

The Captain Flanders House stands as one of the very first island homesteads on Martha’s Vineyard. This 1700’s home is the epitome of historical east coast charm, not to mention the sweeping acres of farmland that surround the grounds. This is a wonderful option for a midsized ceremony and reception—plus, it’s a bed and breakfast, so couples might consider booking a cozy room for ease and comfort over their wedding weekend. Chilmark is near the historical fishing village of Menemsha as well as the renowned Aquinnah cliff overlook, so guests will appreciate the convenient location of the Captain Flanders House.

Vineyard Haven is one of the main ports of the island, so you’ll find some of the best wedding venues in Martha’s Vineyard here. Among them is the Martha’s Vineyard Museum.

Plus, the museum overlooks the Vineyard Haven Harbor for a breathtaking scenic view during your vows. Juniper Place is the quintessential venue for a sweet beach wedding.

Get married at the Maqua Downs House for a classic ceremony in historic Chappaquiddick. This is the east coast beach manor of your dreams, complete with rolling meadows, a salt pond, and a private beach just beyond. The Maqua Downs House is primarily a vacation home, but this spacious home is surprisingly well fit to be one of the best wedding venues in Martha’s Vineyard. However, plan for an outdoor ceremony and reception, as the interior is designed for habitation more so than hosting—however, this would be perfect for wedding party lodging! You’ll find this home just a quick drive away from bustling Edgartown, so guests will enjoy heading over for shops, restaurants, and evening champagne toasts.
