The Ram's Head Inn

The Ram’s Head Inn is a small inn on Shelter Island that is open all year and hosts weddings across its grounds. Zola reports room for up to 225 seated guests, with food, drink and rentals handled by the venue.

The setting

The inn sits on 4.5 landscaped acres with a private beach and moorings, and Zola places it over Coecles Harbor. Its restaurant cooks farm and sea to table, and Zola reports the food comes almost entirely from the East End or the chef’s garden. Guests arriving by boat can call the inn on radio channel 77.

Who it suits

Couples who want an island wedding with water views, a relaxed pace and the venue handling food and drink (Zola). It also suits winter weddings, since the inn stays open all year. Guests should plan for the ferry on and off the island.
