Title: A Dream Wedding at Kurtz's Beach!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Kurtz's Beach on November 17th, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we chose this stunning venue, everything fell into place seamlessly.
Firstly, let's talk about the weather—it was mid-November, and against all odds, we were blessed with a beautiful 70-degree day. It felt like a sign that Kurtz's Beach was the perfect choice for our special day. The picturesque waterfront added an extra layer of charm to the entire celebration.
The team at Kurtz's Beach, led by the amazing Ashley and John, exceeded all our expectations. Ashley was incredibly responsive, addressing every question or concern promptly, regardless of the time. John played a crucial role in the planning process, patiently guiding us through every detail and ensuring that we understood the entire process.
Our day-of coordinator, Deb, was an absolute gem. Her warm and personable nature instantly put us at ease, and she worked tirelessly to ensure that everything unfolded flawlessly. Trusting Kurtz's team to handle the placement of every detail was a stress reliever like no other. We could truly enjoy our day, knowing that we were in capable hands.
We opted for Dance Masters Entertainment as our preferred DJ, and Sue and Don elevated the reception to new heights. Their upbeat energy and enthusiasm turned the celebration into an unforgettable party. The dance floor was alive with joy, and they played a significant role in making our reception truly special.
SERIOUSLY, if you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, exceptional service, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further than Kurtz's Beach. Our wedding was a dream come true, thanks to the incredible people at Kurtz's who went above and beyond to create lasting memories for us and our guests. We wholeheartedly give them five stars and our heartfelt gratitude! -

Words from the Bride:
Kurtz’s Beach was our second venue we looked at and we fell in love. Not only is the venue itself beautiful, but the staff is family and treats you like you’re a part of their family. They helped us find a new date when our original date we booked did not work with my husband’s schedule, they were honest about what you should spend money on and what you shouldn’t, they do all the set up and take down for you, and really make the day worry-free for the bride! I would book them over and over again if I could.
Words from the Husband:
If I could give more stars for flexibility I would. The biggest praise I could give to this venue is their flexibility and patience to change things suddenly or even after an agreement was previously made. And for someone who is in law enforcement, I am extremely grateful for this venue’s flexibility and understanding. Day of went flawlessly thanks to the hard work of the coordinator and the staff. And the price you pay for this venue is a big bang for your buck with how beautiful the bay room and the adjoining patio. Highly recommend. -

Don’t pass on this AMAZING venue!!!
I cannot recommend Kurtz’s Beach enough!!!! They give you the family business personal attention with the professionalism of a large corporation. The setting is BEAUTIFUL! I could not have asked for a better location with the bay as a background. The hall is also gorgeous and gives elegant vibes. My fiancé is from Boston and kept saying they gave Cape Cod vibes which is what he always wanted!
John and Ashley are amazing at coordinating every detail while matching your individual vision. The food was incredible and all guests raved about the quality of the food! The organization was impeccable and they had every detail coordinated seamlessly.
Deb was our day of coordinator and she was PHENOMENAL! She made sure the day was perfect and checked in on us throughout the day to make sure we were doing okay. She was on top of every detail and kept us updated. She made us feel welcome at the cottages and had snacks and water all ready for us! She was an incredible asset to our day!
All brides should look into Kurtz’s Beach for their weddings!!! It was the best decision my fiancé and I made! -

Our day would not have been as magical or as smooth without choosing Kurtz's Beach. The staff was very helpful and professional. They made everything go smoothly. The food was fantastic as well. They always responded to questions rapidly. You cannot go wrong choosing Kurtz's beach! -

Kurtz was everything we wanted and more. Ashley and John are a wonderful father daughter pair and they run a well oiled machine when it comes to their celebrations. Kurtz was worth every penny we spent and I wouldn't change anything for the world. And can I just say our day of coordinator DEB was AMAZING. I do not think I coulee gotten through the day without her or overcame my anxiety of how everything was going to be placed if we didn't have our meeting with her before the wedding. Words really cant explain how this venue made my wedding feel like a dream. My husband and I really did this and we had the best vendors we could've ever asked for and it all started with Kurtz. -

If you’re considering them for your wedding— 100% Yes!
If you’re contemplating having your wedding here— 100 % do it. We got married in July and working with Ashley, John, & Deb at Kurtz’s Beach was the best decision.
Warning: this is a long review bc they deserve to know how special they are to us & the memory of our wedding day.
Summary: We toured 15 places in preparing for our wedding. Kurtz’s all-inclusive price was extremely reasonable, every single person I encountered was amazing to work with, the food was great, the venue layout flows nicely to encourage dancing and mingling, & Kurtz went above and beyond EVERY step of the way.
I am very “type A” & OCD about details & I LOVED how attentive Kurtz’s Beach was to every email, detail, & need.
9 days before the wedding, my husband got COVID & even without symptoms, we felt obligated to tell our guests. Our headcount dropped from about 135 to 105. As a bride, I was an emotional wreck and everyone at Kurtz swept in with so much compassion, reassuring me that it was going to be a great day. Even after setting everything up the night before, they said they’d gladly move the whole thing outside if that’s what I wanted to make people feel more comfortable. It’s a family business & they definitely made me feel like a part of the family through the process. I was not alone; I had them. ❤️
I spent over a year planning our wedding & it’s taken me 5 months to process everything that happened, so I apologize for the delayed review. Now after getting my pictures back & sending the thank you cards out, I can truly relax & appreciate how amazingly magical Kurtz’s Beach was.
During the initial logistical comparison of venues, I found several venues with a cheaper cost-per-person, but what I realized was many places had hidden costs for linens, coordinators, decorations, bartender, etc. Kurtz’s ended up definitely being the best value for my buck & I felt from day one that they would give me peace of mind (which is priceless).
I reserved the Port Royale cottage for pictures in advance of the wedding & reserved the whole venue. We got married bay-front, had room for a Welcome Picture station, 360° Photo Booth, & traditional Photo Booth. The layouts for the DJ, dance floor, bride & groom table, & event were perfect. I especially loved the memories bench they have for pictures of those who have passed. All of my personal touches were perfectly placed on the day of the wedding.
To Kurtz’s Beach, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for saving the day & being such a great venue. We hope you have an amazing 2023!

Barbara D. Sent on 07/16/2022Couldn't be happier with Kurtz's!
We looked for a venue on the water and there are certainly a lot of choices in this area of Maryland. We couldn't be happier that we went with Kurtz's for our wedding. Ashley was fantastic to work with; she was incredibly responsive whenever I emailed her with random questions. The entire team there was great, especially Deb, the day-of coordinator. Everyone did a wonderful job anticipating our needs and guiding us through the day. The venue itself is gorgeous, of course, and we loved the dressing cottage beforehand. The food was delicious and even when our getaway car was a bit late, John went to track them down for us. John recommended doing a prepaid bar tab, and they got the overage back to us before we were back from our honeymoon! Would happily work with the Kurtz's team again anytime! -

From the moment that I visited the venue Kurtz Beach made us feel so comfortable and that they would go above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of. Ashley was extremely responsive via email and phone for any questions that I had and I knew I did not need to worry. The day of our wedding exceeded our expectations! We had an indoor ceremony followed by a cocktail hour outside and everything went seamlessly. The staff was absolutely incredible and Deb made sure that all the guests were taken care of. My family and friends could not stop raving about how kind and helpful everyone was. They went as far as setting up our champagne wall, moving our arch from the rivers chase to the bay room and setting up a third bar outside so there were never lines! We had 175 guests. The food service was so quick that we had over two hours to dance our hearts out! The circle shape of the bay room made it impossible to not be out on the dancefloor and that is exactly what we wanted. I 100% would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married. -

Kurtz Beach was the perfect location to have our wedding. The professionals who work there make you feel comfortable and are incredibly friendly. They have been doing weddings forever and really know what they are doing!
The venue itself is gorgeous. My favorite part about the reception area is the shape of the room and dancefloor as a circle. They have updated lights which are so beautiful and you can set them to your preference. The room is newly renovated and has a very light and peaceful feel. There are three places to get married on the property which made it hard to choose because they are all so beautiful. We got married in the grass area overlooking the water. It has an amazing water view for guests to enjoy and for pictures!
We also got the men's and woman's cottages which are breathtaking. These were perfect for pictures and a First Look.
Kurtz Beach was an amazing venue and helped make our wedding perfect. I highly reccomend it.Kurtz's Beach's reply:
Thank you Breanne for your kind and encouraging words! You and your family were a pleasure to work with and we're overjoyed that we helped make your dream day come to life. Best wishes to you and Kyle! -

Nichole Sent on 01/17/2022Kurtz's Beach made our wedding a dream come true!
Kurtz's Beach was an absolute dream to work with! The location is great, the views are stunning, the rooms are gorgeous and the staff were amazing from beginning to the end and beyond. From the first time we walked onto the property we knew it was special. We dropped by one Saturday to show my parents the outside and the views, the staff was setting up for an event that evening and they let us walk around and answered any questions that we had. Every time we went there we were greeted by friendly faces and it just felt right that we should trust these people to make our wedding dreams come true! Ashley worked with us to find local vendors and she made sure to keep me posted on updates through the beginning of the pandemic. She helped us to make the very hard decision to postpone the wedding an entire year, which turned out to be the best thing to do. When it came to decorations, I gave her a general idea of what I wanted and what she did with the room was amazing! The day of staff were great to work with, everything went so smoothly and if there were any hiccups I was not made aware of them. The venue itself is beautiful and made for the perfect setting for photos. The food was great, and many people told us it was the best wedding that they had ever been to. I am so grateful for everyone at Kurtz's Beach who came together to make our day a dream come true! This venue is family owned, the staff is professional, friendly and so helpful. I would recommend this venue to everyone!Kurtz's Beach's reply:
Thank You Nichole for your kind words! Being family owned and operated, we want all of our couples to feel that way from start to finish. The pandemic reschedule was tough, but you pushed forward and it ended up being a beautiful event! Best wishes to you both!! -

If I could give them more stars, I would!!
Absolutely amazing time at Kurtz's Beach! We got married here in May 2021, and they were so helpful every step of the way! Ashley and John made sure every aspect of our wedding was exactly how we wanted it, and everything went beautifully. There was an abundance of linens to choose from, and all the catering was done in-house, minus the cake. John is an amazing chef, so it was very difficult narrowing down the meal choices for our guests! Being that I was an out-of-state bride, Ashley was more than accommodating when I asked to see the venue multiple times to determine decoration necessities. Deb was amazing with keeping things in order, as well as helping trouble shoot as we went! Even though it rained the entire day, the whole staff came together to make our big day more magical than we ever could have hoped for. We had our ceremony in the Rivers Chase room, which was the perfect backdrop for the romantic wedding we wanted, and the ballroom was perfect for all of the dinner, drinks, and dancing! They recently renovated the floors to hardwood, which just makes the whole room that much more stunning. Thank you for making our special day perfect!!!Kurtz's Beach's reply:
Thank you Jamie for trusting us with your big day!! It was our pleasure and we’re grateful for your kind words. These photos are stunning, thanks for sharing!! -

Linda F. Sent on 11/21/2019Thank you Kurtz Beach for the Perfect Wedding!
My husband and I can't thank Kurtz Beach and staff enough! We were absolutely delighted with the First Class treatment we received from the minute we arrived Thursday for rehearsal, Friday for the wedding, and up to the moment we departed for the evening! Ashley and John, along with their staff have Kurtz Beach services down to a science, and it was perfect in everyway. A special thank you goes to our wonderful co-ordinator, Debbie who was by our side step-by-step. She was absolutely as professional and friendly as possible. No matter what we needed, Debbie was on top of it, whether we knew we needed it or not! HAHA! She kept all of us on task, which I know isn't always easy, to help the evening run on schedule, as best as possible. Despite the size of our group, she was completely delightful at all times, as was Lyle! We loved how open and friendly he was, and greeted us and our guests with such a broad smile and willingness to assist it just made the evening all the better!
The weather was perfect, the room was beautiful, the food was delicious and I will sing praise to everyone and anyone who is looking for a venue for any occasion! I also want to personally thank Ashley as well. From our first meeting, to all the emails back and forth for various reasons, she continued to be helpful, patient, informative and just all around awesome! Courtney is our youngest to marry, however, I hope we get to use your services again some day…. our grandchildren are growing fast… who knows!! LOL You're the best! You have so much to be proud of with your lovely venue, and I hope to encourage others to seek out your services as I know they will forever be happy! Again, thank you for everything!
Kurtz's Beach's reply:
Thank you so much Linda!! Your family became part of our family during the planning of your daughter's wedding and for that we are grateful. Congratulations again and I'm sure we'll be seeing you soon! -
