If you want to do your wedding you own way this is the place to do it. It's a stunning facility with a lovely beach back drop and amazing views of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The fee to rent is a little high, but from what I've seen at other places, they don't have as many options for catering as this one does. We were able to pick and choose everything from our equipment rentals to the decor and saved $$ by providing our own alcohol. It takes more work planning at a site like this where nothing is included but two rectangular tables and the empty facility, but it was totally worth it! We had the time of our lives.

Note: Our biggest concern was potential mosquitoes during an evening ceremony, but the winds kicked up minutes before our ceremony and it was a great breeze. Chris said that it's usually breezy right on the shore like that, so no worries about bugs. Also, our wedding was on a Sunday and we didn't know until after we signed the contract that music must be shut off NLT 10pm. Keep in mind that when you rent your 8-hour block that you must reserve 1 hr after the festivities for clean-up too.

They are terrific. They helped me design the perfect menu and were accommodating to our specific requests for special meals. We provided our own alcohol, they provided a bartender. We provided some of our own hors d'oeuvres, they heated them up and served them with their food. It all blended perfectly and the staff was extremely diligent to provide proper services to all of our guests. They were terrific and I would definitely use them again!

We interviewed a few photographers and Garrett was the last one we talked to. We cancelled the rest of our appointments because he was the perfect person for the job. He listens and asks the right questions to get to know what type of couple you are, and he wants to know about your guests too. It seems to help him capture the events in a way that reflects the personalities of everyone at your wedding. He's very social and everyone felt like he was a member of the family and his pictures turned out great.

This is the most creative florist I interviewed! Cynthia had so many wonderful ideas, and her cool relaxed attitude was really calming during the whole planning process. She asked for a few single word descriptors of the theme we were going for at our wedding that she used for inspiration and her proposal was dead on. We didn't really know what we wanted until she tossed a few ideas out and how perfect it all came together! She was great at helping us stay within our budget, and was extremely flexible as I had changing ideas throughout. The bouquets were so beautiful and fragrant, the centerpieces were eye-opening and intriguing, and our ceremony decor was stunning. She had it all taken care of and we couldn't have asked for more. THANKS!

We had our cake with a very simple design and focused on the variety of flavors that this confectioner has to offer. They did a great job on our cake and helped us to stay within our budget. The cake they delivered was fantastic and everyone loved it. It was moist, full of flavor, and beautiful. Thanks!

Matt was terrific and came fully prepared to set up at three different sites for us. He was on time and took care of everything exactly as we had discussed. We asked that he not honor our guests requests for music and he handled it perfectly. Thanks for everything, it was a wonderful event.

I normally don't always give 5 stars for each category, but these girls were great! Megan and Jamie were very professional, and did exactly what they said they would do. They showed up on-time, prepared 4 of us with hair and make-up with time to spare. Megan is very sanitary when applying make-up so you don't have to worry. She even came prepared with double-sided tape when we couldn't find ours! Jamie was creative and my hair and make-up stayed put through a very windy and humid ceremony and reception. Thanks ladies!
