Beach House Grill

The Beach House Grill is comfortable without being overly casual, making it the perfect space for family and friends to gather to celebrate your wedding.

On a normal day, the Beach House Grill serves “coastally inspired” cuisine with a focus on local seafood. For your event, however, we’re happy to customize your menu however you’d like, and we’re proud to use as many farm-to-table ingredients as possible, sourced from our farm in Brewster.

Capacity: 250 guests with bump out tent

Highlights: Steps from the beach; next to the pool

Need some inspiration? Over the years, we’ve held some incredible events at Chatham Bars Inn. Here are just a few ideas to get you thinking about what's possible:

Example Reception Events

Private Clambake

Enjoy our authentic clambake, customized just for you. You’ll feast on lobster, corn, potatoes, clams and anything else you might want. All seafood is locally caught around Chatham and all produce is sourced from the Chatham Bars Inn farm.

Beach Bonfire

If you want to keep your event going well into the evening, you might want to consider a bonfire on the beach. Bonfires can be big parties or intimate engagements - it’s up to you.

Croquet & Mimosa Brunch

Make your wedding brunch extra-refined with croquet and mimosas on our lawn. We’ll create a classy-yet-comfortable ambience that’s perfect for socializing and thanking your wedding guests for spending the day with you.

Excursion to Nantucket

Hop on one of our boats and cruise over to Nantucket Island for the day. You’ll walk the charming cobblestone streets, visit quaint shops and galleries, and dine at one of grey lady’s many seaside restaurants.

Winter Whiskey Bar

Just because your event is in the winter doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the beach! We’ll set up a whiskey bar on our private beach so that you and your guests can keep warm and enjoy the great outdoors - even in the snow.

Pig Roast

Treat your guests to a meal they’ll never forget with one of our signature pig roasts. No worries if some of your guests don’t eat meat - we’ll have plenty of delicious produce sourced from our farm for them to enjoy as well.
