THIS COUPLE LITERALLY TIED THE KNOT AT THEIR CELEBRATION HELD AT A HISTORIC INN ON THE CHARMING SOUTHERN COAST. BY JENNA MAHONEY
“LET’S JUST GET MARRIED ON A BOAT,” SUGGESTED WIL HAMORY when the pandemic upended his and now wife Marissa Mash’s planned wedding. Her siblings took the offhand comment seriously and crafted a vision board, and her mom called The Inn at Perry Cabin. Set on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, the hideaway showcases the area’s nautical traditions. The couple was joined by a few family members to their literal tying of the knot aboard one of the estate’s vintage boats. The property’s setting is as serene as the surrounding waters. Here, the service and amenities are superlative: “There are few places that meet expectations, and go far beyond those like the Inn at Perry Cabin,” says Marissa.
The entire celebration was outdoors.

stretches over 26 pastoral acres. Executive chef Gregory James sources food from the inn’s garden, neighboring farms and the catch of the day. And since this is Maryland, crab is a center point of all menus. Crab was featured at the intimate celebratory dinner of just 15 guests, all of it sourced from J.M. Clayton Seafood, a local seafood purveyor that’s been serving up regional blue crabs for five generations. Preparations at Wil and Marissa’s meal were haute takes on Maryland classics, including crab imperial, traditionally crafted with mayonnaise and Fresh caught.

Snappy Happy The Inn at Perry Cabin is fantastically photogenic. In fact, Wil and Marissa had two days of photos to capture many of the property’s most Insta-perfect settings. The couple took pictures in front of the estate’s boats, at the entrance to the Inn, in the spectacular gardens and by the pretty pool. They also posed on a bicycle—Wil steering; Marissa on the handlebars—positioned on the property’s long driveway lined with gorgeous trees and riots of flowers. For the second session, the couple went to the “charming town of St. Michaels to explore the ‘mom and pop’ shops,” says the bride. Another favorite—“the view of the Inn at Perry Cabin from the water is breathtaking!” she notes. ➺
The Inn recently introduced private glass houses, where guests can dine on the water in a cozy, intimate setting. They are perfect for romantic celebrations. Sail away on the Miles River by the Chesapeake Bay.
