Sitting in the Atlantic Ocean just below Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard is the perfect destination for a romantic seaside wedding. From the sandy beaches of the coast to the rolling green fields of the island's interior, there are no shortage of picturesque ceremony spots to choose from, and it doesn't hurt that the island is dotted with historic lighthouses and mansions seemingly designed to serve as photo backdrops. Fortunately, the options are just as good when it comes to receptions, and celebrations can be held at one of the island's exceptional restaurants, on a grassy lawn overlooking the ocean, or in an elegant hall.
