Step1
You can use the JFK Ballroom at the first beautiful wedding venue in the area, the Cape Codder Resort. This spa and resort can handle a small, intimate wedding of 30 up to 400 guests With over 250 guestrooms and suites on the property, your out of town guests will be right in the middle of all the festivities. From their ballroom you'll look through stately marble columns and stone balusters at a magnificent expanse of manicured gardens leading to Cape Cod Bay. Water fountains, set into stone walls, frame this view and there is a star-lit skylight in the ceiling. For a smaller amount of guests, their Crystal Room will be ideal. Their culinary staff will help create a custom menu for your reception, perhaps including dishes such as Butternut Apple Bisque, Baby Spinach Salad, Chicken Verdicchio with Mushrooms, Tomatoes, and Artichokes, or Sole Menemsha with Scallops, ****ake Mushrooms and SnowPeas. They have a list of vendors for you cake, photos and similar services. Their on-site spa will be happy to handle the make-up for the bridal party.

Step2
The next beautiful wedding site in Hyannis Port is the Hyannisport Club, a private golf course with magnificent views of Nantucket Sound. The salt water marshes surrounding much of the front nine provide a summer home for many migratory birds. An elegant dining room would make an excellent location for your wedding banquet with the awning-covered porch being an ideal place for cocktails and later on, for dancing. From hand-passed appetizers or Tapas, to an Asian Station or a Carving Station, you'll find a fine array of dishes to create your special wedding dinner. And, they have scrumptious desserts to accompany your wedding cake. This private club has many functions so you'll need to contact them as early in your wedding planning as possible.

The final beautiful wedding venue near Hyannis Port (for this article) is actually in Hyannis rather than Hyannis Port. It's the Paddock Restaurant which has been helping to create memorable wedding and other special events for 35 years. Their facilities can handle up to 150 guests. The staff will help create a custom wedding menu and wine selection just for your special day. Imagine dishes such as Stony Island Mussels, Twin Polenta Crab Cakes, Lobster Bisque, Baked Grey Sole, and Steak au Poivre. And their wine list has won the Wine Spectator's Best Award of Excellence for 16 years (Visit paddockcapecod for more details.)
