An October Wedding at the Plymouth Yacht Club
As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, Plymouth, Massachusetts becomes a dreamlike setting for a fall wedding. Nestled on the South Shore, this historic coastal town offers a breathtaking blend of ocean views, colonial charm, and vibrant autumn foliage-making it an unforgettable place to say “I do.”
This October, Katie and Mike chose the Plymouth Yacht Club as the perfect spot to tie the knot. With its stunning harbor views and cozy, nautical elegance, it was the ideal backdrop for a wedding that was both intimate and timeless. The guest list was intentionally small-just close friends and dear friends-which made the day feel personal, heartfelt, and deeply meaningful.
Why October in Plymouth?
October is when Plymouth truly shines. The summer crowds have thinned, but the weather remains pleasant, with that perfect hint of sweater-weather chill. Trees explode in shades of amber, rust, and crimson, creating a natural backdrop that looks straight out of a painting. Add in the salty sea breeze and the gentle lull of waves, and you’ve got a setting that’s both romantic and grounding.
At the Plymouth Yacht Club, Katie and Mike exchanged vows overlooking the water, surrounded by fall colors and the quiet hum of sailboats in the harbor. It was quintessential New England-elegant yet unpretentious.
Cozy Details and Thoughtful Touches
October weddings practically beg for cozy, thoughtful details, and this one delivered.

It wasn’t about grandeur-it was about being fully present, celebrating love, and savoring the beauty of a perfect fall day in Plymouth.
The Plymouth Yacht Club offered a sense of ease and charm that made the whole experience feel like a weekend getaway-peaceful, beautiful, and full of heart.
