Cape Cod No. 7 on list of hottest wedding venues in U.S. Report.
Online wedding powerhouse The Knot Worldwide has named the top 15 hottest wedding markets in the U.S. for 2025.
Cape Cod swung in at number 7. With dozens of sandy beaches, sweeping waterfront views, famous seafood and New England charm, Cape Cod makes for a beautiful wedding venue. Mariah Kennedy Cuomo married in Hyannisport just three months ago.
New England, specifically in Massachusetts, also secured a spot on the list, at number 15.
The list is part of The Knot Worldwide – which includes The Knot, WeddingWire, The Bump, The Bash, Bodas, and Hitched – 2025 Wedding Trends to Watch Report, compiled using a survey of dating Gen Zers, engaged couples, and search data from The Knot Marketplace.
In addition to the hottest wedding markets, the report looked at how Gen Z views marriage, microweddings, how AI is used in wedding planning, and what weddings are likely to look like in the coming year — hello, library weddings featuring tattoo artists and experiential bartenders.
