    Absolutely Amazing Day

    This is the location my now husband and I met on our first blind date, so we only thought we should finish our circle and get married here! It had everything we both wanted. An outdoor garden for our ceremony which was also next to the water and an indoor (protected from the weather) backup option and reception location! When booking this location, it's the town you are booking-the venue, the small and quaint B&Bs, the cafes and restaurants. The wedding turned into a weekend of amazing memories. From our first meeting to the big day, Eddie was easy to work with, had an amazing calm yet humorous manner and was a great addition to planning our day (we also had him officiate). Each visit more and more fell into place and by our last visit we felt organized and prepared for our big day! The staff made sure everything was set up the way I envisioned it and I can honestly say I have no complaints or anything I would go back and change! I enjoyed every single minute of the day!
    The location is beautiful!
    The food was to die for!
    Eddie is hilarious!
    The staff was kind and attentive!
    You won't be let down having your wedding here!

    Such a pretty venue!

    My husband and I fell in love with Chesapeake Inn when we first went to visit it. The scenery is so pretty with the water and boats, and the ballroom looked gorgeous! Eddie was our wedding coordinator there, and he was amazing! He always was quick to respond to our emails. Our wedding was the best night of my life. Everything ran smoothly, and we have nothing but good things to say about Chesapeake Inn. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was so fun. The prices were very reasonable for all you get. Definitely check them out!

    Just Perfect

    I was a covid bride, so my husband and I celebrated our wedding reception this year! Let me tell you...I am a perfectionist and Chespeake Inn was PHENOMENAL!! Eddie was very easy to contact. Our guests loved the venue! The food was AMAZING. It was the best wedding food I have ever tasted. The staff were so pleasant and down-to-earth! My husband and I already decided to book a baby shower with them when the time comes!!

    Jaszmine & Devon's Wedding

    I fell in love with this venue the moment I stepped into the ballroom. Eddie was extremely helpful. I'm so grateful for him. The staff were awesome. They brought us our plates and continuously checked to make sure we didnt need anything. We were treated like royalty. The lights in the ballroom matched our wedding colors perfectly. We got married at the moon property by the water. I strongly recommend getting the house right there overnight to make the transition smoother. Anyone who books this venue will not be disappointed. I couldnt have asked for a better venue. Thank you Eddie for everything.

    Above and Beyond

    My husband and I got married at Chesapeake Inn in August. I really don’t have the words for how wonderful the people here are or how beautiful our wedding was. Planning a wedding during COVID was less than ideal, but Eddie and crew made the whole process an incredible, easy experience.

    Eddie was accessible, responded quickly, and anticipated our needs before we did! He was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend the Inn!

    We also had several guests attend our wedding by boat. Clem, is easily the best dock master on the bay. He’s hard working, organized, and incredibly helpful - routinely visiting guests throughout the weekend to see if they needed anything.

    Overall, the day went seamlessly, the staff was amazing, the food was delicious and talked about for weeks after. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they’d been to.

    Thank you Eddie, Clem, and staff for an unforgettable weekend!

    Eddie and Mike went above and beyond to accommodate us on our special day. They were both very flexible and responsive. We are so happy with how everything turned out. The food was also delicious! The balcony room off of the ballroom was beautiful.

    Perfect Venue!

    I had a Beauty and the Beast themed wedding here and the Ballroom complimented it so well. Eddie did an amazing job making sure my wedding was executed flawlessly. He is very involved and responsive. He is always there to help and answer any questions or concerns that may arise. He is the best! My guests loved the venue and the food! Highly recommend Eddie & his team to anyone looking for quality service all around.

    Beautiful, amazing, & professional!

    The Chesapeake Inn sure outdid themselves for our big day! The staff was extremely professional, the food was amazing, and the views around the ballroom are beautiful! Eddie, was present the whole entire time and made sure everything ran so smoothly. Our wedding day was full of laughter and positive energy. The guest were raving about the location and food. All around it was just beautiful! I would highly recommend the Veranda for the cocktail hour, our guest loved being outside enjoying the views and boats! I’m still getting told weeks later on how amazing the feel of the wedding was. I am so happy we chose the Chesapeake Inn as our venue for our special day. It was beautiful.

    We LOVE Eddie & The Chesapeake Inn!

    The Chesapeake City area is a hidden gem. It's a quaint and magical place where we had our wedding, and it turned out so much more amazing than we expected. Eddie (whom we affectionately named our "Wedding Santa") did a seriously fantastic job helping us coordinate our big day and leading his awesome team to ensure that everything went smoothly for us and our guests. We had our ceremony on The Moon Property, which overlooked the water and the bridge. And we had our cocktail hour and reception at the veranda and ballroom. Our guests enjoyed the intimate and comfortable atmosphere, and we've never seen so many smiling faces :D Moreover, all the staff were so sweet and helpful all the way till 2AM when the party ended! A huge thank you to Eddie and the Chesapeake Inn staff!!! You guys are seriously awesome!!! :D

    Wedding Ceremony and Reception

    If you're looking to have an intimate ceremony and or reception with an amazing view, exceptional food, and fantastic service then Chesapeake Inn Ballroom is the place for you! My husband and I just had our wedding ceremony and reception there and we could not be happier with how our special day went! Eddie, the banquet manager, is amazing! He was with us throughout the entire planning process, just an email or phone call away. He organized and coordinated our entire wedding and reception, not missing a single detail. The food was out of this world, our guests still talk about how wonderful everything was. The staff was professional and on top of everything. Eddie even went table to table to check on guests and of course made sure my husband I were well taken care of. We could not be happier with our experience.

    Married 7.13.2019

    I am more then happy we chose the Chesapeake Inn. We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom. It looked better then I ever imagined it could. Eddie was the best! He made my day! He is so nice. He answered my emails so quickly and was only a phone call away. He did everything I asked. He made my wedding experience so easy. I wasn't stressed about the venue at all because Eddie had everything taken care of. He never got upset with me or frustrated he was always so patient and in good spirits. I can not put into words how happy i am with the way everything went. His staff was also then best. The bartender and waiters and waitresses were so polite and served me and my fiance with whatever we needed. If I could do it all over again I wouldnt change a thing. Thank you Eddie and the Chesapeake Inn for making my day the best! Oh and the views and pictures on the water turned out so good. The ballroom is filled with windows and mirrors it just makes it so beautiful. There is a light that goes around the top of the room that you can make any color you want. Everything is just awesome.

    Everyone says that planning a wedding is stressful. It is. However; working with Eddie and his staff for our September 7, 2018 wedding was AMAZING! Eddie responded to every email I sent within a few hours and answered any questions or concerns. We had a slight issue with an RSVP we didn't receive, and were able to add three to the guest list the day of our wedding without any issue. The venue was beautiful, even with the rain! We had an amazing day and night, and our guests loved the ballroom and had nothing but compliments on Eddie when they saw him around during the reception. As much as I state that the stress is too much and I will never do it again, I would gladly go through it all again as long as I can book the Chesapeake Inn Ballroom and Eddie as our contact. Eddie and his staff were friendly, attentive, and just went above anything we could have ever imagined! I will gladly recommend this venue to any friends and family that are getting married. Beyond amazing!

    It was my dream wedding. Eddie was always responsive and helpful with the planning process. He also made sure that everything went smoothly on the day of my wedding! I choose a daytime wedding to make it affordable. The views were so gorgeous during the day out the large windows and balconies.

    AMAZING! Everyone at the Inn did an awesome job achieving what we were looking for at our reception. There were no complaints about the food at all everyone loved it! Décor was spot on from what I had given them to go with. Also,they re-did the wall that had the mural, it's now a classy tiled wall instead (good job! that made us so happy LOL) I would recommend this vendor anytime! Also, their cake vendor Liberty Lane cakes is amazing. Best wedding cake we've ever ate :)

    My husband and I were just married at the Chesapeake Inn Ballroom and we can't say enough good things about it! Days later and we are still glowing and gushing over the entire experience. Eddie (Greer) and his staff are top-notch and made the entire evening magical. The planning process over the past year has been a dream because of Eddie's consistent communication with us (we never seemed to bother him, no matter how many emails or changes we made!).

    We had the ceremony in the Ballroom, then the cocktail hour on the Veranda and Terrace while the staff flipped the ballroom for the reception. The entire event went so smoothly that we were able to take a few minutes for ourselves while the team changed things around us and we didn't even notice. They set up all of the decorations we provided beautifully with minimal direction from us a few nights before the event.

    The food was amazing. From the hors d'oeuvres through to the dessert tables, there wasn't a dish or item that wasn't a hit. Everyone raved about the food - and are still raving about it! The team was great about making sure that we (the bride and groom) had food at our table, as well. They brought in hors d'oeuvres to us while we were in between the ceremony and reception, they made sure our dinner plates were covered with warmers when we didn't make it back to our sweetheart table as dinner was brought out, and they made sure to swing through the dessert room for us and plated up several desserts so that we didn't miss out on those while we were socializing.

    There is just not enough good that I can say about the entire experience! The staff at Chesapeake Inn Ballroom made our wedding seamless, easy, and magical!

    I could not express how grateful I am for the staff at the cheaspeake inn, my wedding was perfect and I could not have done it without them. They were waiting on us and continuously checked on us to make sure we were okay. Our guests felt very welcomed and was provided great service. I would recommend this venue big time!

    We had the most beautiful wedding on 10.21.17 at the Chesapeake Inn. We worked with Eddie Greer the year leading up to our big day & he was always easy to get in touch with and made the entire process run seamlessly! We fell in love with the Chesapeake Inn for its stunning ballroom and waterfront views, but we chose it as our wedding venue for the expertise and value that the entire staff provided. Food was excellent and guests are still raving about what an amazing time they had almost a year later. Put Chesapeake inn on your list of venues to go see. You won’t be disappointed!

    We looked at about 6 other venues before visiting the Chesapeake Inn Ballroom, and once we met their event manager, Eddie, we knew we wanted to hold our wedding there. Eddie is straightforward, responsive, reliable, helpful, kind, and fun! Planning a wedding was a daunting undertaking for us, and I believe that he and the venue made the process much easier than it would have been elsewhere. The whole staff was extremely friendly from our visits during planning to the end of the wedding - tasting the food was delightful! Both Eddie and another manager named Craig oversaw the big day to make sure everything went smoothly. We received a large number of compliments on the food and the ballroom's lighting and decor. If you book there, I recommend attending the vendor expo that they hold. Overall, we were very happy with our decision to use the Chesapeake Ballroom!

    We used Chesapeake Inn to cater our wedding at Thousand Acre Farm on 10/20/17 and it was amazing. The guests all raved about the food and the staff. We started off working with Shannon and then she left so we started working with Nick, who was incredible. We had a lot of last minute changes and Nick was very accommodating and responded to emails very quickly. The night of the wedding he checked in a couple times and everything went perfectly. The wait staff and bartenders were awesome! Everyone said the bartenders remembered what they were drinking and they were very fast at making drinks so there was never a line at the bar. Highly recommend Chesapeake Inn!! And i also love that the cake is included in the price of the catering

    I couldn't be happier with how they handled my ceremony and reception. All of our guest keep gushing over how we found an unbelievably beautiful location and how the wedding was so magical. The food is outstanding and so well priced considering you get seafood options on the basic menu. Eddie is awesome to work with and is there to help you. I HIGHLY recommend this venue.

    We used the Chesapeake Inn for our off site wedding and had Shannon as our wedding coordinator and it was absolutely perfect! Shannon was so attentive and made me feel so much ease as a bride! The food was amazing and all our guests were so impressed by how nice and efficient their staff was! Nick, who worked with Shannon, was also amazing! I can not say enough about them both and how much they went above and beyond for me! They fixed glitches, served with excellence, and truly made this experience so special for me and my husband! They are amazing! I HIGHLY recommend them! And the mushroom ravioli!

    Our day could not have been more perfect! Everything went smoothly. Eddie was awesome! He kept everything rolling and we never once doubted his suggestions. We were amazed at how everything turned out and how the Chesapeake Inn exceeded our expectations, for sure!
