"Specializing in personalized weddings"


Make all your wedding dreams come true at the Peter Shields Inn and The Mainstay Inn. From ceremony to reception to accommodations for you and your guests, our professional and attentive staff will take care of your every need.


The Peter Shields Inn specializes in both casual and elegant ocean front Cape May weddings, parties, receptions, and special dinners. We cater to your needs and welcome your ideas to make your special occasion everything that you dreamed it would be.


Our events generally include one and a half hours of passed hors d'oeuvres, followed by a sit-down station or buffet brunch, lunch, or dinner. Each of our events differs, so we will match our times and food with your needs, allowing for photos and any others of your planned activities.


The Peter Shields Inn has five beautiful and romantic dining rooms, most with fireplaces and an enclosed outdoor porch on which to dine and view the Atlantic Ocean. We can accommodate up to 100 people depending on the type of reception you desire.


There is a site fee for weddings and events at Peter Shields Inn depending on the time of the event and day of the week. There is a minimum food service charge as outlined below based on the day of the week and time of day for the event. For smaller parties, arrangements can be made. We have nine guest rooms to accommodate your guests and we are associated with the Mainstay Inn on Columbia Avenue. We add to the total a 22% gratuity and 7% NJ state sales tax.


You are welcome to bring in your own beverages and bar service. We also are available to sell wines from our own Cape May Winery. We will be happy to assist you in finding all the services as well, such as florists, photographers, bakeries, and musicians to ensure you the best occasions.


The integrity of the food at The Peter Shields Inn is wonderful and you won't be disappointed. We will work out a menu to suit your wants and needs.

Please call 800-355-6565 to set up a time to meet and tour the house. We know it's your special time and we will make sure your occasion is exactly what you hoped for. I look forward to meeting you.


Thank you,

Bridget Fowler and Jill Giancola
