A Saturday wedding here at Wades Point Inn on the Bay requires
the purchase of all 26 sleeping rooms for both Friday and
Saturday nights. The ideal is for the bride and groom to
assign rooms for the bridal party, family and special guests.
Then, all other rooms may be booked on a first come first
served basis. Fifty percent of your non-refundable
grounds, facility and wedding coordinator fee is due when your contract is signed,
with the balance due one month prior to the event. Using a
Visa or MasterCard, each guest can call to guarantee their
reservation. Rooms will be charged at check-in in order that
a final bill can be presented before check-out. You will be
responsible for any rooms that are not occupied.

Catering for the reception is to be arranged by the bride
and groom at their own expense. Your caterer can arrange for
portable bathroom facilities, a cook tent and a tent for the
reception. The tents will be set up west of the Kemp Guest
House and facilities will be in an appropriate location.
Receptions are limited to any four hour period of time
starting at noon and ending at 10 PM. The grounds will be
available for guests' use from 10 AM to sunset. The
decibel level of the music is not to exceed the owners'
comfort level and if alcohol is abused, it will be removed.
The "Lookout Room" on the third floor of the main house may
be used as a Bridal Suite with breakfast in bed.
A weekday wedding here requires rental of the Main House for
one night (eleven rooms that will sleep 24 people) OR
the rental of the entire Mildred T. Kemp Guest House (12
waterfront rooms that will sleep 35 people). Breakfast is
included, all rooms are subject to tax and gratuity. Children
under 12 years of age are welcomed at no charge.
Catering for the reception is to be arranged by the bride
and groom at their own expense. A reception for 60 people or
more requires a tent and kitchen tent; the tent location
will be determined by weather conditions. We provide
a list of excellent caterers and bakers in this area. A $25
per person grounds, facility and wedding coordinator fee
will be charged, with a
minimum of $250 to be paid when the contract is signed and
the balance being paid one week prior to the event. Again,
there is no charge for children under 12 years of age.
Receptions are limited to any four hour period of time
starting at noon and ending at 10 PM. The grounds will be
available for guests' use from 10 AM to sunset. On order
to be considerate of our other guests and neighbors, the
decibel level of the music is not to exceed the owner's
comfort level and if alcohol is abused, it will be removed.
the Lookout Room on the third floor of the Main House can
serve as the Bridal Suite, with breakfast in bed.
When the reception is being held elsewhere and only the
wedding ceremony is being held on property, a "Walk Down
Wedding" may be arranged. There is a facility fee for this
event in the amount of $25 per person, with a maximum of 125
people attending. This event is limited to two hours and
those two hours can occur between noon and sunset. The
term "walk down" refers to all cars being parked off site
and guests walking down, weather permitting, the lane to the
ceremony site on the knoll by the cove.
If music is a part of the ceremony, it must not be overly
loud and disturb the Inn guests. Photographs and/or videos
on the grounds are allowed, but be mindful of the two hour
time limit.
Our Wedding Coordinator, Barbara, will be at your service
to help with details. The ideal wedding size for our property
is one hundred to one hundred twenty-five guests. It's the
responsibility of the bride and groom to arrange for a tent
if more than 60 guests are expected.
Rates quoted are for 2007.
