Essex, MA is a beautiful place to get married.

If you or your guests are traveling from out of town for your wedding, our Inn & Motel is the perfect place to stay. With 21 unique rooms, we offer a variety of room configurations and price points to fit everyone’s needs and our property reservation program ensures that you and your guests will be the ONLY hotel guests on site.

By choosing to block the property for your wedding you give your guests a private space to connect and extend the festivities beyond the ceremony and reception. Previous wedding groups have had pizza delivered for a fun after party, set up games on the private beach and hosted their rehearsals or goodbye brunches at our sister property, Shea’s Riverside Restaurant & Bar.  You can easily turn your wedding into a weekend long event at Shea’s.

Our central location also means your guests may not even need to use their cars once they arrive in Essex, MA. Especially if your wedding or reception is at the Essex Room at Woodman’s, we are right across the street! Other popular Cape Ann wedding venues, including The Crane Estate and The Hellenic Center are short drives from Shea’s and setting up shuttle or taxi service is a breeze.

If you are planning a wedding in Essex, MA or anywhere along Cape Ann, consider blocking Shea’s Riverside Inn & Motel for your guests, we can guarantee you will all make memories to last a lifetime.
