With tranquil waterfront settings overlooking the beautiful Miles River and beyond, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is a place unlike any other. Make memories at one of our picturesque venues, perfect for ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, receptions, cocktail parties, and more.

Nationally recognized for preserving the heritage of the Chesapeake, the Museum brings the warm and casually elegant hospitality of the Eastern Shore of Maryland to each special occasion. Set on a private 18-acre campus with over 2,000 feet of pristine waterflont in the historic village of St. Michaels, the Museum offers spectacular views of the water.

The Museum offers stunning backdrops for wedding portraits, providing an exquisite array of Chesapeake scenery and textures, ranging from the rustic Small Boat Shed to panoramic views of the water on Navy Point, from the very top of the 1879 Hooper Strait Lighthouse to the authentic Waterman's Wharf on Fogg's Landing. Give your guests a true Chesapeake experience with a one-of-a-kind wedding, in which they not only celebrate your special day, but take away a piece of history. From a large tented affair for 250 people, to a small intimate gathering, the Museum is an ideal spot to create lifelong memories.
