About

On WeddingWire since 2010

Situated in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, The Rod 'N' Reel Resort is an upscale wedding venue. This waterfront destination is located within 60 minutes of Washington DC and Baltimore. It is nestled in the heart of Chesapeake Bay and offers serene views of piers and sandy shores. Here, you can curate your dream day in a relaxed and sunny setting that provides the ideal backdrop for destination weddings and vacation vows.

Facilities and Capacity

The Rod 'N' Reel Resort is home to two stunning event spaces that were made for pre-wedding occasions, oceanfront ceremonies, and romantic receptions. The Wedding Dome is so-called as it comprises a beautiful gazebo complete with pristine white columns, and an ornate, intricately designed dome. Here, you can say "I do" in front of 200 loved ones, overlooking the scenic seaside. Evening receptions are held in the South Beach Tent. This spacious marquee exudes relaxed refinement, blending beachy accents with elegant chandelier lighting and a ceiling draped in white voile. Throughout your event, guests can explore the grounds and soak in views from the picturesque piers and more. You and your love can enjoy a sunset photoshoot by the beach and gazebo, which by night is illuminated by ambient outdoor lights.

The dedicated team at Rod 'N' Reel Resort strives to make each couple's celebration memorable and seamless. The event staff oversees planning and will work alongside you to bring your vision to life. They cover all aspects of your day, from arranging event rentals to organizing setup, cleanup, parking, and shuttle transfers. Exclusive catering and full-bar service are provided by the talented culinary team and seasoned bartenders. The expert chefs create diverse and delicious menus that center on classic American cuisine. Their offerings can be adjusted to accommodate guests requiring gluten, nut, and lactose-free dishes, and they can provide vegetarian and vegan options also.

From standard rooms and waterfront balconies to luxurious suites, this resort has accommodations to fit every budget and meet every demand. Spa services are available, so you and your wedding party can indulge in some pre or post-wedding pampering. All rooms feature comfortable furniture and linens, modern amenities, and ample space.

9/26/2020 Wedding

We had SUCH a great experience with the Rod n Reel resort team for our wedding. Sarah as well as the rest of the catering team made absolutely everything perfect for us. Sarah kept us up to date the entire way leading up to the wedding with all of the Covid changes, and was so helpful working with us when we had to reschedule and downsize. I honestly could not recommend them enough, the venue was beautiful and the team was awesome.

I had my wedding 10 minutes away at a different venue, Herrington on the Bay, but I had a room block for my guests here at this resort. Renee was extremely friendly, responsive and helpful and my guests were able to easily call to book within the block. This hotel was clean, beautiful and let me put up a welcome sign and welcome bags at the front desk for my guests!

We really enjoyed providing the gowns for the fashion show at CBRS....a wonderful experience with the staff, the venue and the clients that came to the Bridal Event. We can't wait to work with these folks again next year. I had such a great experience that my husband and I just spent Father's Day weekend at the Resort and had another excellent experience with the hotel, the staff and the food and drinks were 5-star!
