My husband and I had a wonderful experience at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club! While there were a few bumps in the road, as there will be with every wedding, the staff at the CBBC were amazing and flexible through it all. They were able to work with us on our payment plan because we booked later than the traditional couple (about 5 months vs 1 year in advance). We booked the Tavern and the bridal suite as well as the ceremony and reception spaces were fantastic - we could not have asked for a more perfect venue! We cant say enough wonderful things about both Erin and Teresa (and everyone else at the CBBC for whom we have no names, but much thanks)! Erin was our booking agent at the CBBC and she was very informative and patient with myself, my husband and my father, who was the financier of our wedding. Teresa was our coordinator, and she was on point the entire time. She was constantly checking to make sure that we had everything we needed and we were on schedule - or at least close to it, as we fell behind a few times because we just couldnt get enough pictures. Teresa even snuck my husband and I over to the fence of the Ballroom to peak a view of Craig Morgan who happened to be playing a private event that evening through the slats in the fencing. Our guests were equally, if not more, impressed than we were with the venue. One of our friends even said that they were looking for a place to renew their vows and were now interested in looking into CBBC because of their amazing experience. The food was incredible - we had the filet and crabcake plated option and OMG was it delicious! And the appetizers! We had the mashed potato bar - which again our guests raved about - the seafood sampler, and two passed appetizers. Everything was just perfect. The only bit of constructive criticism that I have for the CBBC is to try to provide more of the station appetizers for the wedding party while they are taking pictures on the lawn. I was able to get some of the stuff from the seafood sampler brought out to us, but I was never offered anything from the mashed potato bar, and when I did ask for some I never got it. My husband never got any either, which was a small disappointment for us both. My dad was also disappointed that he wasnt able to get any of the oysters on the half either because he was outside for pictures as well, and my husband and I had actually chose to get the seafood sampler partially because we knew my dad loved them. Overall, our experience was terrific and, again, we just cant say enough wonderful things about the venue and the staff! We definitely will recommend the CBBC to anyone looking to have a beautiful wedding, vow renewal or large function. And, if we ever wish to have a vow renewal or a large family get-together we will definitely look into the CBBC again!

Stayed at the Inn for a 3 day conference. Its a attractive place with several interesting spaces. Bed was ok. Room an acceptable size, though not laid out well (conflicting doorways). Some rooms only have showers so if you like to soak in a tub after a long day youll need to request a tub. Ive noticed this seems to be the trend with newer accommodations. Making my morning coffee was a chore as there was no plug at the "coffee station", so water heating pot & French press had to be moved to bathroom to make coffee, & the provided French press was missing on the 2nd morning. Rooms need more insulation as I could easily hear noise from hall & other rooms. My room heater worked well and kept me quite comfortable, but heard that other conference attendees had issues with theirs. We were the first event hosted by the Inn so they may still be fixing some of the problems. Had it not been for the coffee & noise issues I would have rated it higher. The food we had was good enough, not the normal conference fare (have had better and worse). I did find it odd that bone-in chicken was served at an event meal but am guessing that was a choice by the conference producer. Its a pretty place & the beach houses would decorated beautifully for smaller weddings. The service and helpfulness of every employee I met was excellent.

Its 3 years later and I am still in love with this venue. Im bummed they didnt have the inn when we got married because that wouldve made every super convenient for guest and the bridal party. I cant speak highly enough about Teresa, and the CBBC crew. They are very attentive and go above and beyond to ensure that you have the day/night of your dreams! We have the greatest memories from CBBC from the initial tour, to selecting the venue as our choice, to the bridal show, the tasting, and the final linen selection with day of details. All of my guests raved about our wedding, and even 3 years later we are still getting compliments. CBBC and all of our vendors made it an outstanding day with memories to last a lifetime. I hope to have a reason to throw another event at CBBC sometime in the future. One of the GREATEST waterfront venues in Maryland! I just wish some of our wedding photos got featured :)

I had the reception at the Beach Club, in the Sunset Ballroom this past fall. Let me just tell you - my guests to this day (4 months later) still talk about the beauty of the Beach Club. I could write an entire novel on my love for this place. No, it is not cheap. No, they do not negotiate on any of their prices, yes, they can sometimes come off as they dont need your business. BUT, once you decide to use them for your wedding venue, they couldnt provide better customer service or be more friendly. My wedding would never be as perfect as it was had it not been for the Beach Club. The views are amazing, the food is delicious, the servers and coordinators on the day of the wedding make sure your day is nothing less than perfect. If I could get married 10 more times, Id choose this place every single time.

If I could give a rating lower than 1 star, I would. I was initially very excited about the Beach Club as a potential venue for my wedding because its beautiful inside with relatively nice views of the bay. Well, the building is the ONLY thing thats nice. The staff was completely inflexible, unaccomodating, and ignorant about good customer service. My questions were not answered unless I asked repeatedly, they were not even willing to discuss a minor change in schedule, and, frankly, made me feel as if they were doing me a favor by "allowing" me to choose the Beach Club. Frustrating beyond words...THINK CAREFULLY before choosing the Beach Club for your wedding.

The service was utterly abysmal. Except the bartenders, they were great. If youre hosting a wedding here, youre paying for the location only, it would seem. The food was decent, but portions were small. The director seemed to find it easier to scold guests to move things along than to actually orchestrate staff to lead people throughout the evening. I dont know how she keeps her job, but it speaks volumes about the establishment. They were excessively quick to see us out before 11. Someday when I have a wedding, I hope we find ourselves in better hands. Buyer beware.
