About this venue
Wells Reserve at Laudholm is a National Estuarine Research Reserve in Wells built around a preserved 19th-century saltwater farm, with a historic barn seating 130 to 150 guests and total event capacity up to 250 across the barn, auditorium, and surrounding lawns. The reserve is roughly a 10-to-20-minute walk from the beach, with Wells Bay visible from the grounds, and tents are permitted in designated areas. There's no on-site lodging. Couples choose their own caterers and vendors — the venue offers full kitchen access rather than packages — and alcohol is allowed with a licensed bartender or liability insurance. Pets aren't permitted. The wedding season runs May through October, and 2027 pricing ranges from $6,500 in May up to $10,000 in August and September, plus a $500 refundable damage deposit.
