Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

From start to finish, our experience with the Gala was incredible. In a competitive and expensive industry, the Gala 417 stands alone in its food quality, lovable staff, and dedication to its clients. During our planning process, the Gala staff was responsive and courteous even when we had some off the wall ideas. They love to support creative visions and help you make your vision come to life. Early on, we picked up on how comfortable our vendors were to work with the Gala team, which is a testament to their ability to work as a team to accomplish their clients wedding wishes. Weeks after our wedding, we continue to receive messages from friends and family who rave about the venue, food and drink, and staff. We would book again with the Gala 10 out of 10 times, it was one of the first and best decisions my husband and I made.

We got married at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club on May 17, 2025, and had the most stellar experience we could have hoped for. From the very beginning, we were blown away. We attended one of their Saturday open houses for our initial tour and were immediately impressed - not just by the stunning waterfront venue and all the flexible, thoughtfully designed event spaces, but also by how knowledgeable, professional, and confident the entire team was. We left that tour knowing we’d be in the best hands and we were absolutely right. Every step of the planning process was seamless - from the delicious food and drink tasting, to room blocks at their on-site inn, to spa services, to vendor coordination and final timeline planning. Everything was organized, stress-free, and incredibly well executed. Samantha, our coordinator, was truly a rockstar. She answered every one of my many (many!) questions with patience and clarity, and always helped ease any nerves I had in the weeks leading up to our wedding day. Her responsiveness and calm presence made all the difference. The wedding day went absolutely flawlessly. Everything ran like clockwork. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing—every vendor knew where to go and when to be there, and all the details we’d planned came together perfectly. I truly got to just show up and have the best day of my life. The team at CBBC knows what they’re doing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're looking for a venue that combines stunning views with expert-level coordination and service, look no further.

The Osprey’s at Belmont Bay is the best venue! From the moment we walked in we loved working with Amy! She was so sweet and helpful and made the wedding planning process so much easier and less stressful. Unfortunately, Amy left while working with her, however Vanessa quickly stepped up and helped us with everything we needed. We loved working with Vanessa. Vanessa was super detail oriented and made sure our day was flawless. We received so many compliments from all our guests on how beautiful our venue and the scenery around it were. I also will admit that I was nervous with the ballroom and dance being split, however it worked perfectly and was not an issue at all. I knew right from the beginning that having a bridal suite where I felt comfortable in was really important. The Osprey’s has the most beautiful bridal suite! My bridal party and I had the best time getting ready in there. My hair and makeup artists said they had never seen such a beautiful space for the bridal and bridal party. I also loved that they had a decor closet! This saved me so much money and made our wedding so beautiful! Book your wedding at the Osprey’s at Belmont Bay, you won’t regret it!

The moment I saw Bohemia Overlook, I knew it was the Wedding venue for us. The Venue is affordable and offers a good amount of accommodations that other venues do not and would cost extra even. The little things do matter, it adds up as we all know. The Venue kept in great contact with me and responded to me right away with questions I had through the whole experience and worked with me. Such a beautiful Venue. Was nervous when I found out a new owner took over, but realized quickly I didn’t need to be. The new owners kept up with the same pace of communication and response time and even on our Wedding day they greeted us and made sure everything was going good. We even got a beautiful view of the water on the hill for some wedding photos. My Wife and I enjoy coming here for different events and the wine room when it’s open. This place will forever be a cherished memory and not everyone can say that they can go back to where they got married. So much more to say about this place, but without going on a rant, just know this place is amazing. To even include how beautiful the barn looks upstairs at night, wasn’t expecting that since we usually see it during the day.

My husband and I cannot say enough about The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing! From the first tour back in August 2024 until our wedding in November 2025, they were absolutely fantastic. We worked with Bonnie initially, but Alli was our official day of coordinator. The price is worth it for everything you get - venue, staff, food, bar, setup, and so much more. Alli and her staff were amazing every step of the way, and they truly made our wedding day as special, easy, and memorable it could be. The photos I am attaching are from Ivy and Lace Photo!

There is a special sort of feeling that being here at the farm brings, a calm and peaceful energy about the property. Maybe it is the history, there is comfort in knowing the original farmhouse, which sits at the center of the property, has stood for over two centuries. Maybe its the rustic beauty of the big white barn, that was built by farmers as a dairy barn in 1920. This little slice of heaven has been a part of so many families who lived and worked this land over the past 250 years. Come and see for yourself.

Our wedding day at Riverside Vines was truly perfect from start to finish. From our first tour of the property to the morning after the big day, the RSV team was incredibly easy to work with – helpful, kind, and professional every step of the way. The venue itself offers so much. In the days leading up to the wedding, the forecast was calling for rain, but we had total peace of mind knowing RSV has a beautiful permanent tent on-site that we could use as a backup ceremony location in addition to using it for the reception area. Thankfully, the weather held out and we were able to get married at their stunning waterfront ceremony site, it was such a breathtaking view! We stayed at the chateau on the property the night of our wedding and it was the perfect place to unwind after the big day. I will forever cherish returning to that beautiful farmhouse and decompressing there with our wedding party. The next morning we got up and had coffee on the back porch while watching the sheep and a few little lambs play in the field behind the house, it was pure bliss!

Hy husband and I were married at Lighthouse Sound on September 8th. To say that our day was perfect would be an understatement. Here is our review… The Space: We continue to have our guests tell us that this was the most beautiful wedding venue they have ever seen even months after our wedding. Our ceremony took place in the gazebo, cocktail hour on the patio, and reception in the tent (rented from Coastal Tented Events). All with incredible water views, cooling breezes, and great light. We were blessed with amazing weather, but also loved the indoor backup plan. The Staff: During the planning process, we worked with incredible coordinators. Shellie and Rose were THE BEST to work with. They were willing and excited to answer my one million questions the months leading up to the wedding. Shellie communicated with our other vendors and gave recommendations every step of the way. Their day-of coordination was SPOT ON. They made sure every decoration, floral arrangement, sign, etc. was perfect and that the entire schedule of the day ran smoothly. The wonderful bartenders and servers provided outstanding service for my husband and I and all of our guests. The drinks were great and the food was incredible. Which brings me to the food… The Food: We loved how many options were available when selecting our menu… dinner tiers, plated or buffet style, hors d’oeuvres, and desserts. Having the catering done in house was so helpful and made our planning process easier. The Golf: My husband loves to golf! He enjoyed playing the course on the morning of our wedding (he got one foursome for free). The pro shop was happy to help with scheduling tee times for his groomsmen and our other family members that played as well. He said this is one of his favorite courses he has ever played! We cannot recommend Lighthouse Sound more. We had the most incredible wedding and credit so much of that to the wonderful people and experience Lighthouse Sound. We can’t wait to come back for more meals and golf next time we are in town.

Responded to us within 5 hours. Kind caring working with us every moment from beginning to end This new elegant barn was the best choice after touring 8 nearby venues. LOCATION: It was so easy to get to, being close to Dulles International Airport and DC and very accessible via major highways. Our ceremony was held outside. It's a lovely, backlit site with the lake. The reception was held in the big white barn main floor with it’s spacious seating and dance floor. Cocktails were hosted indoors with reception being inside the spacious, high loft ceiling. It allowed for 200 seated guests and large dance party. The live band transformed the barn loft into a high energy concert space! There are a huge number of areas for creative images. One of the most popular photo spaces is the lake with their animals in the background with it's unique perspectives. Indoors or out, there are plenty of spaces for in-the-moment couples portraits as well as large group photos. FREE flowers was a real financial plus. They dont require a planner, a food caterer. But best was the personal care of staff to make sure all our needs met and more!

The Anchorage was amazing! My wife and I got married here last June, and to say everything was perfect would be an understatement. It's hard to put into words explaining how great Woody and Michelle were helping us make our special day go exactly as planned. The property is beautiful, spacious, and well kept. The waterfront view was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony (Woody even went out of his way to make an aisle of sand for us to walk down). The cigar shack was awesome and the barn was also set up for me and my groomsmen to get ready and hang out until the big moment (they especially enjoyed the darts, ring and hook, and bar with a kegerator). My family and I were very happy with the rooms which were spotless, comfortable, and included refrigerators/kitchenettes. My wife was very happy with her space to get ready, especially with Michelle doing everything she could ensuring the girls had what they needed and making sure everyone was stress free! Woody and Michelle were more than accommodating. Breakfast was always delicious (the smoothies and Woodys Waffles were my favorites). They were also life savers dealing with our vendors dropping stuff off (at times earlier than expected), even using their golf cart to help move stuff down to the beach to help set up. The golf cart also came in handy taxing people up and down the hill when needed! I HIGHLY recommend this venue! Woody and Michelle are two of the most kind, accommodating (and hilarious) people I've ever met, and I can't begin to thank them enough for everything they did to make sure our special day went off without a hitch. We fully intend on coming back to enjoy their beautiful BnB again!

I had the privilege of working side-by-side with Autumn for over a year, and I can honestly say she’s one of the best people I’ve ever worked with. She has a way of making every bride feel like they’re her only client, thoughtful, calm, and completely dedicated from the first tour all the way through the end of the wedding night. She’s also an incredible teammate. She always made sure I had menus, timelines, and specialty drink details ahead of time so we were fully prepared and on the same page. She’s responsive, organized, and truly cares about getting every detail right. Any team would be lucky to have her.

My husbands family has owned a home just outside of Tilghman Island for years, it was my dream to get married in the area and The Wylder was the perfect place! We visited every time we came to St. Michaels and each time I found something more to love about The Wylder!

All of our guests were raving about how gorgeous The Wylder was and how much fun our entire wedding weekend was because of all that The Wylder has to offer! We got married on November 1st, which meant out welcome party fell on Halloween! The kids from our wedding were able to trick or treat with our family and friends at the bungalows and the groom and his friends were able to spend the morning enjoying Splash City Golf, which was a HUGE HIT! As a bride, KD was a DREAM to work with! She answered every email and phone calls so quickly and was so patient with all of my questions and last minute needs!! She made absolutely everything run so smoothly for us!! On our wedding day she made sure everything I needed was done! We truly cannot recommend The Wylder enough!

Words cannot adequately describe how grateful we are to Jessica Hewlett and her staff at The Cove and Fawn Lake Country Club for the perfect wedding reception for our wedding on Saturday, October 30, 2021! However, we want to share some of our thoughts. When we came to visit The Cove at Fawn Lake Country Club the first time in June, we knew immediately that this beautiful new venue was the perfect place for our reception. We were impressed with Jessica’s professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail. From the tasting experience to the coordination and planning prior to the big day, Jessica led us through this stressful process with caring, respect, and understanding, while being the consummate professional. Once the big day arrived and we entered the venue, our jaws literally dropped and brought us to happy tears at how perfectly Jessica set up the reception. It was magical! She coordinated the events of the afternoon and evening with precision, leaving us with no worries and just being able to enjoy our special day. Our guests raved at how wonderful the food was as well as the service. They were also in awe of the incredibly beautiful venue and lakeside setting.
