at the Emerson Inn by the Sea will be the memorable event of a lifetime – a perfect blend of traditional elegance and impeccable service. Our award-winning culinary staff and professional wedding coordinators attend over the small details so you can relax and take pleasure in the joyful occasion. And, we offer exceptional wedding packages to help with your planning and budgeting.

Our stunning ocean-front setting offers picturesque (and panoramic) sea views. In the colder months (and in inclimate weather) our grand parlor offers lovely historical surroundings with elegant furnishings. Throughout the year, the main floor and oceanside grounds can be rented between 12:00 noon and 5:00 pm for ceremonies.

Lovely oceanside banquet rooms can accommodate 150 wedding guests. Wedding menus vary from lavish to informal, and food can be customized to meet the needs and wedding themes of the bride and groom. In 2005, Emerson Inn by the Sea was awarded the first liquor license in Rockport since 1933, and an extensive wine list along with popular spirits are now available, as well. While we promote afternoon and early evening receptions, alternate arrangements can be discussed.
