I honestly can not say enough good things about the Tidewater Inn. It is the IDEAL wedding venue. Melanie, the wedding coordinator is simply wonderful - responsive, knowledgeable, helpful, easy-going, and fun. She made everything run so smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a single thing the entire weekend. The hotel is beautiful. They have great spaces for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The hotel staff were always responsive and willing to help. The staff during the wedding were amazing. Always there when you needed them. And the food. OH THE FOOD WAS SOOOOOO GOOD! We had stations for dinner, and my guests are raving about how good all of the food was. Our wedding day was perfect, and most of that is due to the amazing Tidewater Inn. I can't recommend it enough!

My husband and I just had our wedding at the beautiful Tidewater Inn and we are more than thrilled with our experience. Everything from the food, to the space, to the services provided are exceptional. What makes The Tidewater Inn so unique though is its coordinators. Melanie, Brandy, and Sara, as well as the entire staff there were perfect. They were super responsive the entire planning process and made me feel like my wedding was in great hands on the day of! If you are looking for an elegant and romantic wedding look no further than the Tidewater!

We have selected Tidewater as our rehearsal dinner location for our wedding next September. Almost everyone is coming in from out of town, and there are not a ton of places in Easton/St Michaels that can accommodate a large group. Tidewater Inn has several options for larger groups, and I'm so thrilled they do! The team there has been very helpful with providing information on venue, pricing, and menu options, and they have responded promptly to all of my detailed questions. They have great indoor/outdoor space combos, and you can also secure room blocks as part of booking a rehearsal dinner there. So far the team has been very easy to work with!
