I cannot say enough amazing things about Samantha and the staff at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. From our very first Saturday tour, to our follow up email interaction to create a contract we knew that we were dealing with true professionals that were going to ensure we had the smoothest day possible. I work 50 hour work weeks, and I wasn’t sure initially how a DOC would stack up against a full wedding planner. Samantha and the team over at the beach club conducted frequent check-in’s with me throughout my entire planning process, and not only did they encourage that I reach out with any questions or concerns, but they were always timely with their communication back to me. I had the biggest weight lifted off of my shoulders after our wedding planning session with Samantha back in January. Every last detail of our special day had been accounted for! The beach club was very accommodating in allowing me to bring over all of my supplies and décor throughout the week of the wedding and they even allowed me to stage it all. Samantha was constantly checking in to make sure we were all squared away for Saturday. Our rehearsal was held the day prior - Samantha just has a way of engaging with others, commanding a room, and keeping everyone on task while also maintaining a fun energy and ensuring an enjoyable experience for everyone. Now on to the big day itself – people are still complementing the day and sharing that they have never seen a wedding flow so smoothly. From start to finish there were no questions about where to go or when, and there were none of those awkward moments between events that you sometimes see occur at weddings. We had a rather large bridal party, and a wild one at that, but Samantha ensured everyone knew their places and where to be. Samantha was the last person everyone saw before taking their places. She fixed my strap that popped off (twice) seconds before walking down the aisle, and I was flustered in the moment but she was so calm and corrected it with ease. She fluffed my dress, she fed me before photos, she helped bustle my dress, I could go on and on. Bottom line- she knows what the heck she is doing and you would be incredibly lucky to have her as a part of your special day. As previously mentioned, the rest of the staff is fantastic. From Erin and Teresa answering emails during the initial planning process and supporting Samantha throughout her time off, to the staff in the parking lot and the serving/bartending staff ensuring our guests knew where to go and that they were well fed and taken care of, to Jess ensuring Tyler and I had everything we needed the entire day and even wiping my feet down after sunset beach photos, to Tyra and Emily at the Inn ensuring that Tyler and I along with our guests felt welcomed and comfortable (they even handed out our goodie bags for us!) not to mention the Inn/Beach Club left a sweet note and flowers in our suite the night of the wedding. The beach club was actually hosting more than one event on my wedding day but you would never be able to tell, we never even crossed paths with another bridal party/group of guests. I’m sure that I am missing some recognition, however I am so very impressed with this Venue and their entire team, I can assure you that if you book with the CBBC, that you will have a beautiful and memorable wedding weekend that your guests will be talking about for months.

CBBC is a wedding dream come true!
The Chesapeak Bay Beach Club is the ultimate place to host your wedding or any event. They have so many different options and places to chose from, perfect for any occasion. The wedding team and staff is top notch! We had our wedding on 1/7/2023 which had to be changed last minute from our original day in June, and everything went flawlessly!!! Erin and her wedding team made the wedding planning process stressless. They are on top of everything leading up to the big day and on the big day itself. Communication throughout planning and up to the big day was constant and reassuring. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. It was worth every penny to have our wedding here. The food was also incredible and our guests kept raving about it.
We stayed at the Inn and loved our room. The decor, style and room itself truly felt like a home and high end resort. So many details of the room made our stay comfortable. We can’t wait to come back in the future when in town or for our anniversary.
The entire staff at the Chesapeak Bay Beach Club made us feel so special on our day and made us feel like family.

Excellent location and staff
Words cannot do justice for the high level of service from this venue. Samantha H. walked us through every step of the process and helped with my endless questions and changes. The wedding was absolutely magnificent. The staff worked effortlessly with all the other vendors. Our family was able to enjoy my daughter's wedding without worrying about a single thing! The money was well worth it!

Everything you could want in a wedding
I am so happy we chose CBBC for our wedding. We used the Tavern Ballroom for our reception and had just over 100 guests. Our ceremony was on the lawn and we didn't even need a ceremony arch or anything - having the bay as our backdrop was just perfect. The service was top notch all night, guests were able to get drinks at the bar quickly, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the tater tot bar and crab cake station for cocktail hour!
The entire planning process went very smoothly thanks to our coordinator, Samantha. She was always quick to respond to my emails with random questions and menu changes in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. She was also super helpful on the day of, even packing up our decor items at the end of the night! It was so convenient staying at The Inn, and I used their salon/spa for hair and make-up for myself, the moms, and bridesmaids. They came to our suite in the barn and they did an amazing job!
Just a fair warning that you will EASILY surpass the food & beverage minimum if you want multiple options at cocktail hour, desserts, late night snacks, etc. But it's totally worth it.

We had the best wedding weekend. The staff and the atmosphere at the beach club were outstanding! We wish we could relive the weekend over and over again. The food was incredible, the hair and make did an amazing job. We loved everything about our experience with the venue.

Amazing Wedding Venue and Staff
We couldn’t have picked a more perfect wedding venue! Everything was amazing! The venue, the staff, the FOOD, the Spa, the Inn all deserve 10 stars! Thank you so much for making our special day absolutely incredible! If we could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a single thing! Perfection!

Amazing wedding venue
CBBC is an amazing wedding venue. They are right on the Chesapeake Bay across from Annapolis facing the sunset. Samantha Rutherford was our coordinator and she couldn’t have been more helpful with planning and executing the wedding of our daughter’s dreams. The ceremony way outside. Everyone moved to the Tavern ballroom for the cocktail hour and then Sunset ballroom for dinner. The chef is talented and accommodating. We had several guests with dietary restrictions and everyone raved about their food. It was delicious. Samantha and her assistant, Josh, we’re there every step of the way to ensure a smooth flow of events. She helped us find our band, Millenium at Washington Talent, who provided music for the ceremony, dinner and dancing.
We stayed at the Inn at CBBC. The staff from the front desk to the shuttle drivers, to the restaurant staff and housekeeping were wonderful and did everything they could to anticipate and take care of our needs.
We would do it all over again and not change a thing.

Best day of my life!
Teresa and the CBBC were amazing to work with. They worked with our budget and were flexible when we needed to make changes! We could not have imagined a more beautiful day. It went so smoothly!
I will never forget when Teresa pretended to be the groom and danced with me to make I could with my train! She is amazing and even checked in to make sure I drank water throughout the night. THANK YOU!

The Perfect Day
Best venue ever!! We just had our wedding on the Tavern Ball Room lawn June 24 2022. My husband and I still have a permanent glow from such a wonderful day. Teresa Hunter and her staff are top notch. Teresa was with us from the start in the process as our personal wedding coordinator. She made all of our dreams come true. First off the venue itself is worth it, because it’s GORGEOUS. We knew we didn’t need many decorations because it speaks for itself in beauty. Once you secure your date, you will be scheduled for a group tasting with 100-200 people. We went In January and it was basically like attending a pre-wedding. They had open bar, happy hour, sit down dinner. Showing all the different options you can have for your wedding. We had the absolute BEST time. The food was AMAZING. We walked out of there so so excited to do it all over again but with our friends and family. The filet minion and crab cake was SOO good! We honestly were not positive how they could have medium rare steaks and crab cakes that taste good for all these people. The day of our wedding the food was even better!!! Many people came up to us saying that the cocktail hour food was amazing, they were so full that they weren’t sure how to eat dinner! Then after dinner we had a ton of guest tell us that they have been to 40+ weddings and ours had the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Around 8:15pm we were able to have sunset photos!! The venue knows how amazing the sunset is, so they paused our dinner so everyone could go out and take a bunch of photos. It was a huge highlight. They have a large strip of sand and beach so the photos come out sooo stunning. Once I came up from the beach photos, Teresa comes over with a towel to wipe my feet off. WHO does that?? CBBC If you are reading this, please give her a raise lol. During the ceremony, you can also hear the waves crashing on the shore. Absolutely peaceful and made it even more special. My husband and I walked away just in absolute awe. There was nothing I would have changed about the day. It was perfect. The venue has everything down to a science and really make you feel like a celebrity for a day. I have so much respect and happiness for this venue. Please don’t hesitate to book this venue. Also please don’t hesitate to invite me to your wedding, because I would Love to go back!!! 😃😃

Incredible views and service at CBBC!
If money is no object, then CBBC is the absolute perfect wedding venue. Beautiful scenic views from all vistas, food was incredible, and the behind the scenes coordination was top notch. All of our pre wedding questions were answered quickly. Guests commented that it was the best wedding food that they had ever experienced. Nothing during the wedding ceremony and reception fell through the cracks. Servers, bartenders, parking staff were all attentive and did a great job. Erin and Marte, our coordinators, did an outstanding job running the show in the background.
On the negative side, 6 months before the wedding, we were informed of a price hike for the food. I was taken back since we obviously had a contract. In a very small phrase, it did mention that they could hike the prices, but I still felt that they should not have changed all of the previously booked contracts going forward. Also, in order to offer 2 menu choices, you to add an extra $5 per meal. That adds up considering the prices are already very high. On the flip side, the food was outstanding. Also, if you choose a champagne toast, they add $7 per person, minors or not, even though you already have an unlimited bar. Lastly, like many other venues, they add an automatic 21% gratuity/service charge to the bill. Since we also received a tipping guide, which included the option of tipping CBBC personnel, I was a bit taken back considering the amount of the gratuity/service charge that we had just paid.
Together with the Inn, CBBC did an outstanding job with the coordination and execution of the wedding. It was a marvelous day and we would highly recommend them.

Incredible experience and best onsite team!
Having my wedding reception at CBBC was one of the best decisions I've ever made. From the moment we began communicating with them, Samantha and her teammates were responsive, efficient, and attentive to every small detail. They were extremely accommodating of some unconventional aspects of our party, and even helped us with last minute changes on account of cold weather. Tyra (hotel block manager) and the entire food/beverage team exceeded our expectations with their collaboration and ability to run the event so smoothly. We felt so well taken care of from start to finish. Guests were raving about the food/beverage, onsite lodging, and overall experience; one guest (in her 60s) stated that it was the best food she'd ever had at a wedding, and best crab cake she'd ever had. Highly, highly recommend for any size party/gathering!

The most stunning venue! Every single one of our guests has raved about the amazing views, the amazing food, and the excellent service saying “best wedding ever attended.” Most importantly, every staff member at CBBC was extremely helpful & caring making sure our day was flawless. Special thank you to our wedding coordinator Erin- from our planning meeting to helping me bustle my dress the day of! Erin was extremely patient with my endless questions, able to quickly fix any issue, & attentive to all the details making my dream wedding come to life. Thank you! We couldn’t have done it without you! I wish we could do it all over again and relive our favorite day ever.

Beyond the obvious beauty of the reception site, it is the professionalism that sets the CBBC apart from other wedding venues and vendors. First, the CBBC staff was incredibly accommodating when we had last minute changes due to family illnesses. Erin, our day-of-coordinator, was a calming force and helped make adjustments literally up until 4 days from our wedding day. The entire staff was equally wonderful on the day of our wedding making sure are guests had everything that they needed, our vendors were situated where they needed to be, and that we, and our bridal party were fed and cared for. No detail was lost on the CBBC staff-they had everything down to an exact science! In addition to the incredible service, the food was out of this world. People are still approaching me weeks later to let me know how delicious the food was. The crab cakes are a must, the berry salad was amazing, and the late-night snacks of sliders and boardwalk fries did not disappoint! Overall, the club provides you an incredible value. Although initially it may strike you as slightly more expensive, the add-ons and extra service you experience is more than worth the cost. In fact, I found most venues in the Annapolis area at least as expensive as the CBBC and far less accommodating. Thank you to the entire CBBC staff for making our wedding dreams come true!

Incredible Venue!
The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club is such a beautiful waterfront venue, and was absolutely perfect for our wedding! We were in the Sunset Ballroom, which also included an adjacent room for dancing, and two incredible spaces to choose from for our ceremony-- their enclosed rooftop or outdoor lawn, which ended up working out perfectly with the beautiful weather we had. The entire team was extremely attentive, helpful, and flexible on all our questions and customizations, and made the day completely stress-free and perfect!

Beautiful Venue with AMAZING Staff
Teresa and Marta were the most amazing day planners and coordinators who helped to make our day run flawlessly. Teresa took care of everything from working with décor and lighting rentals to providing a schedule and running the rehearsal and wedding itself. Marta was right there with us the whole night, bringing us appetizers during photos after the ceremony to make sure we ate and grabbing bobby pins when we had a hair malfunction. I could not be more grateful for their expertise and attention to detail.
The venue itself is beyond gorgeous, luckily we had a nice day that we could take photos outside, but I knew that the inside was just as pretty if weather didn't cooperate and we had to keep everything inside (great for peace of mind).
The food was INCREDIBLE. Everything from the apps to the dinners to the late night snacks were so, so good. You will not be disappointed with anything you order from CBBC.

If I could give 10 stars, I would!
This was the perfect venue for our wedding. Our guests raved about how amazing the food was, how perfect the views/locations was, how great the wait/bar staff was (no one ever had to wait for a drink). The shuttles to and from the hotel were perfect, especially on our snowy March wedding day. Everyone we encountered was extremely respectful, and made our wedding day perfect.

The venue really speaks for itself in beauty but the staff were the ones that really sold us on this venue.

Dream Wedding!
I could not say enough good things about the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and all of their staff! No other venue that I visited seemed to take such great care of the property and to ensure that all the details are executed so flawlessly. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and we captured so many gorgeous photos of the sunset and the water in the background. From day one, my planner Erin Janes worked tirelessly to address any questions that I had and to let me know of any changes due to COVID. Marta was there for me and my husband every second of our wedding day taking care of our every need, bringing us drinks, and even saving us a plate of all our appetizers in case we didn't get to have any. Our guests could literally not stop raving about how great the food was and that it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten. Having the Inn on site for all of family to stay at made it so convenient for our guests and created many more opportunities over the weekend to spend time with family and friends. This was not the most affordable choice for us, but it was worth every single penny. Thank you CBBC for the most perfect wedding and all the hard work you all did to make it happen. I wish I could repeat that day all over again it was so wonderful!

Wedding at the CBBC
Choosing the CBBC was the best decision we made through out this wedding planning process. We visited 10+ venues, and none of them compare to food, landscape, beauty, staff, coordinators, the inn, etc. We were blown away. I worked with Samantha as my day of coordinator, but she played such a key role in helping make my day a success. I didn't have a wedding planner so I emailed her 10 times a day, and she always answered my questions so quickly even when her away message was up. I expected to be a little nervous, but as soon as my girls and I pulled up to the venue and I saw Samantha I relaxed and trusted everything would go smoothly. She was truly phenomenal. My guests are still raving about the food, beach access, tavern lawn, and sunset. We couldn't have been happier with choosing the CBBC.

Absolutely Breathtaking!
CBBC was simply amazing for our 09/04/21 wedding. From the hotel staff at the Inn to Samantha at the venue, everyone made the process extremely smooth, stress-free, and easy. We received many compliments about the food (especially the chicken) and atmosphere. You simply can not get this view anywhere else on the bay. The sunset is unlike anywhere else!

The absolute best of the best. If you want a flawless event choose CBBC!
We had the absolute best day at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and it was no happy accident. We truly had a very challenging weather day but the team at CBBC was so unbelievable I never had to think about a thing and I felt so calm through the entire process because I knew they had it all under control. Basically, we not only had a scorcher (100+ degrees and humid) but all of a sudden it started to storm (it was not in the weather forecast until the day of) and the team at CBBC had it all completely perfectly orchestrated I didn't have to fret about a thing. Samantha our venue contact and day of coordinator was the best of the best. She is incredible and everything you could want in someone handling your wedding. She responds so quickly (which as a millennial; I appreciate so much!) but she is also so knowledgeable and has a way to put you at total ease. I loved working with her and she is truly someone who is so positive and perfect on your wedding day! Everyone in our bridal party was so impressed by her and our flawless ceremony rehearsal and the logistics during photos and the actual wedding day; it was all thanks to Samantha. It was flawless! We can't thank her enough!
At this point in the review, I have to mention that I am actually a wedding planner and I deal with a ton of venues and vendors; CBBC exceeded every expectation and experience I have had thus far with a venue. They truly know their stuff, which is actually very rare in this industry. Venues are a dime a dozen in this area but it is so hard to find a venue that has the logistics down. CBBC knows the logistics and executes a wedding beyond your wildest expectations. Their staff is incredibly well trained which is something that is hard to put a dollar amount on. As a planner, having a venue that knows exactly what they are doing is not a norm and usually the reason a couple decides to hire a planner is because their venue is all over the place and they are so stressed trying to decipher what the venue is telling them from day to day. Throughout the entire process, we had a clear understanding of what was expected from us and how the process worked. The entire set-up, meal service, reception service, cake cutting, dancing, breakdown, etc. was perfect and planned to the T. I never had to worry about a thing and as a planner I definitely had my eye on everything "behind the scenes" and everything even from a trained eye was perfection.
When my fiance and I were looking for a venue, logistics and the overall management of the venue was soooooo important to me because I had seen so many venues really struggle with true service and the ability to manage and execute a wedding. Choosing a venue is so much more than just the views, the food, what is included, etc. It is the people and the management of the property. CBBC has a staff that has been with the venue for years. To someone in the industry, this speaks volumes. Most venues have extremely high turnover rate which results in a less than perfect experience for couples who are planning a wedding there. Usually, throughout planning a wedding with one of my couples we get passed off to 2-3 different "coordinators" within a year (because of staff leaving). CBBC knows how to retain a staff and everyone tells you the exact same thing. They actually have a process and a method to the madness which is so unbelievably refreshing to see (I can't tell you how many crazy things I have seen and endured!). Yes, it definitely isn't a property where you can totally go off the grid and do your own thing, but trust me, what you will get will be incredible and sometimes not having to sweat the small stuff is worth not having the totally unique experience. Guests will forget your flowers, they will forget the unique favors, but they won't forget (or really understand until they are at a poorly managed wedding) how seamless your event was or how great the food was, or how well timed and managed everything was. Logistics, staffing, timing, and overall management are everything.
I should mention the venue is beautiful. They really maintain the property and reinvest a ton of money in their venues. It always looks incredible no matter the time of year. We had our wedding in the Tavern Ballroom which my fiance and I loved for its intimate feel and beautiful aesthetic. We loved that the dance floor and bar shared a space as this helped to keep people on the dance floor. We loved the grounds and the hotel included in the property which aided in a stress free wedding weekend.
I really cannot recommend CBBC enough. I have never seen a venue go this far above and beyond and the service was impeccable. Every service member was smiling and so helpful. It was the best experience and I am so thankful we chose this venue!
If you are comparing venues, don't forget to compare the actual logistical element and who will actually be there on your wedding day. Are you working with a new venue working out the kinks? Or are you working with a venue with years of proven experience? Not all venues can be compared by price, you must look beyond the dollars to understand the true value and CBBC is worth every penny.

Teresa made our experience!
Like most we postponed and replanned due to covid. Teresa made our experience because she was extremely responsive and made sure any request were met. The staff during the wedding were so attentive and made sure all guest were taken care of. All guest raved about the food! Especially the crab cakes! The location and sunset were perfect.

Incredible Wedding with the Help of CBBC
From the moment 2.5 years ago that we decided to get married at CBBC to our COVID related postponement to finally our wedding day this past August, CBBC couldn't have been better at helping us along the way. They are absolute pros at what they do and made us feel at ease about our big day throughout the entire process. I truly cannot say enough nice things about our coordinator, Samantha, who answered all of our emails and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of. Multiple family members and friends raved about her professionalism and skill. Also, the food was amazing and the staff were friendly and caring during the entire event. Our day was made extra special by a venue that cares.

Absolutely Incredible
I genuinely cannot say enough good things about The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. The coordinators made the planning process so easy, and the day of the wedding was truly a dream come true. The staff was so kind, efficient, and so hardworking. I wish I could relive our wedding day over and over again. If you're looking for the perfect venue. This is your sign.

Best day ever. Thank you cbbc
Our wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club was an absolute dream. We knew the CCBC was “the one” the second we stepped onto the campus. The word “venue” really doesn’t do justice to the whole operation of the CBBC. With over 25 years of experience hosting weddings, the CBBC is the complete package that will help ensure every aspect of your day goes smoothly. Located right on the water, the beauty and coastal charm of every single space is breathtaking.
After having to delay our wedding for nearly a year, Samantha Rutherford (our assigned wedding coordinator) kept our spirits high and helped navigate us through the uncertainty of the pandemic with incredible kindness, understanding, and responsiveness. The lead up to the wedding is such a huge part of the experience and Samantha played a major role in making it as enjoyable and special as possible. She talked us through every question big and small and helped lay out different options to work within our budget. Her years of experience with a wide range of couples and attention to detail gave us the comfort and clarity needed so that we felt confident with every decision made. She directed the set-up, made sure we had an orderly, cohesive timeline, and was always on the same page with our vision of the space. Throughout our wedding night, ALL the wedding reception staff were incredible and so attentive. We felt so cared for and couldn’t have asked for better service. They facilitated the party of our lives and provided DELICIOUS food for our guests (the crab cakes were some of the best we’ve ever had – coming from two lifelong Marylanders). We are so grateful for the level of professionalism and warmth given to us and will never forget the memories created that day.
