The Captain Morse House

The Captain Morse House is a historic Edgartown estate that offers a distinctive venue for weddings and special events. The property features one of Edgartown's largest backyards, elevated nearly four feet above street grade to provide views down Morse Street to the harbor and westward for sunset viewing. The grounds include three large linden trees, noted as the biggest in Edgartown, which provide a natural ceremony setting. The venue can accommodate events under the trees or beneath a custom Sperry tent with a dance floor. The property is configured as an estate with East and West Wing accommodations, allowing wedding parties and guests to stay on-site together or divided between wings as preferred. The Captain Morse House has hosted a variety of events including weddings, vow renewals, clambakes, corporate retreats, and family celebrations. Photographers appreciate the natural light the property receives at the end of the day. The venue's elevated position and open yard space create opportunities for both intimate gatherings and larger tented celebrations in a residential Edgartown setting.
