Chesapeake Bay Beach Club

om the day I booked the venue to the day of the wedding everything was absolutely perfect, and it was due to the professionalism of the venue. The staff is amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure that we had the most perfect day. You can tell they love their jobs and want to be there. The venue and the views are so gorgeous. Sunset view is incredible. This venue is just the most magical place to have your dream wedding.

g run so smoothly. The venue and the views are so gorgeous and I feel like there is a doable price point for every sort of bride! Thank you CBBC staff for allowing us to have our wedding during these crazy times!

e sum of money I paid to use this venue. My wedding has a great number of details — and we were very specific with directions. We had a candy bar and popcorn bar ... both of which , I called in advance to request permission to have. My mother delivered all jars, all candy, individually wrapped and separated into large plastic bags, with labels, so all that would need to be done was dump candy into the jars & place on the table. When my mother went by to check on things, all the popcorn jars had been filled with candy ... and all the candy had been mixed together... it’s looked horrible & was not the directions they were given My mother mentioned this to Samantha & that this needed to be fixed. Her response was “You have a lot of stuff. You are lucky you are even having your reception here.” EXCUSE ME? 1) every item we brought had been cleared with Samantha prior to arrival. She should not have been surprised. If it was “too much” she should not have agreed to each request. 2) Unless the government of Maryland shut down the venue (which at that point, had not occurred), if they canceled my event, they would have been in violation of my contract. It’s not “lucky” they held my wedding — it was what was required per a legally binding contract. They weren’t doing me a favor. I paid them thousands and thousands of dollars for good and services. They simply executed a contract. My aunts fixed all the errors the beach club staff made (including sorting all the candy they had mixed together) ... they did a good portion of the decorating bc it was clear the beach club couldn’t be trusted. My reception was beautiful, despite the venue staff, not because of them. While the venue is pretty, I’d take my money elsewhere, If I had to do it again. Lack of communication during the entire planning process, rude staff & bad food is the price you pay for a beautiful view. Probably not worth it.

ed out to them multiple times that we received any answers to our questions despite the fact that they required a 60% deposit if we want to keep our date. At one point they told us we were 100% able to move forward with our wedding but 5 days later and 2 months before our wedding they cancelled on us only, one of the three weddings scheduled for our date. They sold us on something they knew could not make work in attempts to force us to reschedule or postpone. We felt manipulated by them and had they only been transparent with what was going on I would not have posted this review.

t answers for simple questions throughout the wedding planning process. I would send emails with a list of questions, maybe 2 of 5 would get answered and of those 2 answers, it would be the most vague answer. We booked the tavern and we were basically sworn that the 3 weddings never cross each other. I had random guests from other weddings, walking through our venue, waiting right next to me when I was about to walk down the aisle, walking through our ceremony area when we were taking pictures. When it came to do our first look, our coordinator was no where to be found and showed up late once found. Seating arrangements were a complete mess and all of our items we brought in ahead of time were thrown in boxes and passed off to our guests to take home at the end of the night. Not to mention they threw out/lost precious personal items as well. Lastly, didn't know this till it happened to us, but they threatened us if we didn't overnight the last check that they couldn't ensure that we would have the best day. To say the lease, the coordinators and staff made the planning process not enjoyable at all. I used to be an events coordinator and never would I treat our customers they way that they treated me.

e and I was more than a stressed-out Bride who planned to get married outside. Fast forward and the wind and rain didn't allow us to use The Tavern lawn but the CBBC team didn't miss a beat. We were graciously allowed to use the Sunset Ballroom Rooftop Deck and I almost started crying seeing how pretty the space was and knowing that they were going out of their way on our day to still make everything amazing despite the weather. Our guests wouldn't stop complimenting the food and the wide variety of drinks along with the level of service. I feel like we paid a reasonable price and got an exceptional outcome. CBBC is worth every penny knowing that this team executes and provides a dream wedding day.

such a wonderful venue! All of our other vendors work a lot with CBBC, which made everything so incredibly easy!!! The food was also amazing. All of our guests said that this was the best wedding they have been too. Could not recommend CBBC more!!!

your wedding. There are outdoor ceremony options, but the backup indoor options are just as beautiful, which is one of the main reasons why we booked this place. The staff at CBBC is simply amazing. They have been doing this for a long time, and their professionalism and execution speaks volume towards that. I can’t thank our wedding coordinator, Erin, enough. She is INCREDIBLE. She was always available to speak and helped us organize our vision into the perfect wedding day. We had a large wedding, and she had plenty ideas on how to best organize the flow and our vendors. The food was delicious. Our guests can’t stop talking about it! Stop thinking about it and book CBBC for your wedding, you won’t regret it!

ent smoothly and right on time without making you feel rushed. I definitely would recommend them for sure!

work!

ly after we got engaged. We were paired with Samantha (who ended up being our coordinator) who gave us a tour of the options. Based on our wedding party size (62), we ended up choosing the Inn Ballroom. It was perfect - the grounds were clean and felt private even though parts of the grounds were public, the cocktail tented area was perfect for our evening spring reception, and the dining hall was just the right size where people had enough room to dance and move around but it was still an intimate setting. The food was out of this world. The service was unmatched. And when we walked into our suite, we felt like we had stepped into a magazine where everything was so carefully designed and thought out. It was a treat to stay there. And we have to give a HUGE shout out to Samantha, Marta, and Ben. Their creativity, attentiveness, and down-to-earthness made our wedding weekend perfect. The day of our wedding, we did not need to worry about anything. We had a great time and our guests had a great time, and it was all due in part to the outstanding professionals of the CBBC. Everyone should have their wedding ceremony and/or reception here. It is an incredible experience from start to finish - you will not regret it!! Book early!!

ere was Marta. She made me feel special and that she really cared. That day our wedding wasn’t just another job for her. I will always be thankful she was there. Thank you Marta.

e able to use the Sunset Ballroom for the ceremony and it was BEAUTIFUL! I was so happy how it turned out. I was SO SAD because I wanted to have my ceremony outside and the cocktail hour on the rooftop bar, however due to the rain and cold, that did not happen. The staff were amazing. We had a head waitress that made sure our night went smoothly.. she stayed with us till the end of the night. Our Day of Coordinator, Teresa Hunter, was amazing as well. Due to the weather, there were a lot of accidents happening on the bay bridge causing a lot of guests to be late. We had to push back the ceremony about 20 minutes but she made sure that we got all our pictures done so that the reception could begin on time. She was very responsive with e-mails and answered all my anxious bride questions. The food was amazing! I was so happy with our selections. All of our guests had a blast! I would totally hire them again if needed.

venues on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Delaware, and even on the western shore of Maryland. From our first tour of the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club, we immediately knew that had to be the place where we would get married. Our Special Events Manager was Samantha. We can honestly say our wedding day was made perfect by her. She was incredible professional, knowledgeable, and approachable throughout the entire process. The entire staff at CBBC was courteous and friendly. The general consensus of our guest was it was the best wedding they have ever been to and we believe that due the product and service the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club can provide. We strongly urge you to please consider CBBC hosting your special day, we have zero regrets and they set the benchmark for how weddings should be.

find the exact tablecloths I wanted, finally she made sure that my 5 boxes of decorations were perfectly presented! The venue is absolutely beautiful, my pictures came out amazing my photographer won an award for one of them! Finally, the food was cooked to perfection everyone was pleased with their dinner and the ice cream bar was a nice touch.

re the dancing was. The food was delicious. Everyone there was so helpful! I am so happy I chose the beach club for our wedding! It was perfect and I highly recommend this place

ig to the teeny tiny. She made putting together the day of schedule so easy as well as recommending a menu that was perfect for the day. The event staff take all of the hassle out of setting up - just bring your decorations that week! I spilled wine and some jelly from the fantastic Lamb Lollipops on my dress and they were there in an instant to help get the spots out. We had our own private waitstaff to make sure that we as the bride and groom ate. No matter what you pick for food, it will be delicious. They are very flexible with bringing in your own cake and with the officiant. The amount of stars and words cannot express how seamless and stress free the staff at CBBC made our big day. Thanks again guys!

erfectly day of. It ended up raining so cocktail hour needed to be inside, it seemed like it was the plan all along! Seamless evening timeline. Stacey was the staff member during the reception that made sure everything was on time and that I had everything I needed. Bartenders were prompt and remembered people’s drink orders. The worker with the band, florist and other vendors to make sure our event went well, making it super easy for me to just enjoy! Everyone said how amazing the food was too! 100% recommend. Thank you so much Teresa, Stacey and staff for all your hard work and effort. Truly the most beautiful, fun and special day of our lives!

ur go to girl! She would always make sure we had a drink in our hands, always telling us how to execute things (like parent dances and cutting the cake), and when I wanted to put my hair up even gave me her OWN hair tie.

manager! The Inn Ballroom and grounds are absolutely beautiful, and Samantha was the biggest help with providing recommendations on local vendors, guiding the menu, timeline, and all the intricate day of wedding details. The service, food, and attention to detail truly made our special day unforgettable! Mahalo!!

ur wedding was the best we’ve ever attended!” And it really was! Thank you CBBC for hosting our “best day ever”!

smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a single detail so I was able to enjoy the best day of my life! My mom and I were talking later that it was worth every penny just to have that peace of mind and be able to live in the moment. The food was amazing - everyone was raving about it. The rooftop deck was the most perfect place for the cocktail hour where I saw all my friends for the first time after the ceremony. Weeks later my family and friends are still talking about how beautiful and well taken care of this venue was. Also so many great spots for pictures with my groom!!

sited. The views were stunning and the food exceeded our expectations. We instantly knew CBBC was the venue for us. We had our reception in the Sunset Ballroom and it was absolutely gorgeous. Theresa was our day of coordinator and she was so great to work with throughout the wedding planning process. In fact, the entire staff was incredible. On our wedding day, our guests felt welcomed, the food was delicious and the views were breathtaking. Many of our guests traveled from out of town and CBBC made our guests feel like they were on vacation rather than just another ordinary wedding. It has been approximately four months since our wedding and our friends and family are still talking about our wedding, especially the food! The food at CBBC is unlike any other wedding food I’ve ever had. My now husband and I have attended multiple weddings since our big day at a variety of other venues and no other venue has compared to the service, food and experience that we had at CBBC. Booking CBBC was the best decision we made and I would do it all over again if I had the chance! If you want an unforgettable wedding, book the beach club and you will not be disappointed!

r. You won't need to hire a separate day of wedding coordinator. She was professional, knowledgeable, calm, friendly, and responsive. You can tell she knows her stuff during your meeting with her. You are in good hands! The Beach Club venue was incredible. Our guests are still talking about it. The best part about the Beach Club is that your guests are not confined to one area during the wedding. You are essentially renting out a mini wing/estate. Your guest can socialize on the lawn, the tavern, the outdoor spaces (with chairs/tables), foyer, and ballroom. The wedding was amazing. It was so organized and smooth. This is all due to the amazing team at the Beach Club. They really know how to throw a great wedding. The bride will also be assigned someone to take care of her throughout the wedding day. I think it was the captain but literally this lady was so great (I forgot her name because it's been 4 weeks). She made sure my glass was always full, made sure I ate, retrieved my shoes, even wiped my feet for me (after it got dirty from the sand), packed up all the decorations in the car, etc. Everybody needs a helper like this lady. Also, the food is amazing!! Our guests were obsessed with the food. We went with the filet and crab cake, asparagus, and potato au gratin. The Beach Club is more expensive than the average venue but totally worth it. For ease of mind, gorgeous scenery, spacious venue, and a well-organized team. Also, book at least a year in advance if you want a Saturday. We were 11 months out and all Saturdays were booked. We had to settle for a Friday.

king about how this was the best wedding weekend they had ever been too. The venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious and the service was incredible. You definitely get your money's worth and get a stress-free, gorgeous wedding here. Teresa is an amazing planner as well and allowed me to enjoy the weekend without thinking about a thing. Would highly recommend this!

we were somewhat disappointed by the service we received leading up to the big day and were frustrated by some last minute confusion on the day itself. After attending an open house, my husband and I were awestruck by CBBC's gorgeous views and grounds. We asked for a pricing proposal and soon realized that the venue was was way out of budget. CBBC was persistent and helped to fine tune the proposal to make us more comfortable with the bottom line. It was still a stretch, but since we were promised top notch service and planning assistance... we decided to go for it. After signing the contract, we received virtually zero outreach from CBBC, which was a surprise given our experience with contract negotiations. I contacted them several times for help with planning, and was told that we wouldn't receive our assigned wedding coordinator until 3 months before the event. So eventually, I hired an outside wedding planner to help me with choosing vendors and coordinating the event details. I am very happy I wound up using her, but wanted to note that when we initially signed the contract with CBBC, I didn't think I would need to spend additional money on another planning resource. We felt somewhat misled. Communication with CBBC continued to be challenging... We never received an invite to our tasting. Instead, I received a vague voicemail 1 week before the event was going to take place. When our 60% deposit came due, my husband and I were sent multiple incorrect versions of our contract which listed higher guest minimums and did not include any of the notes that the General Manager included in our original proposal. When we were planning transportation for our wedding party and guests, we received different answers from the Inn and CBBC regarding their shuttle service. Finally, we had to fight to have our rehearsal at 5 PM-- CBBC insisted that 3:30 was the absolute latest time that they could accommodate the rehearsal... which not only sounded bogus, but also made it clear that CBBC is most concerned with their own convenience and were unwilling to compromise. That was the last straw so I emailed a list of our concerns to our planner and she reluctantly agreed to a 5 PM rehearsal time. At the end of the day, we got what we wanted. But I feel that the level of service we experienced did not align with the cost of the venue. The wedding day itself ran smoothly, except for the shuttle service from the Inn where the bridal party and groomsmen got ready. We were told that it would be ready to take us to the venue at 3:45 but when we called the front desk at 3:30, we were told that "no one is at the venue." They were totally unaware of the plans we had made, which our planner sent to us in writing weeks prior. To their credit, the Inn rose the occasion and quickly got the shuttle ready. But it should not have happened, especially when CBBC had given us an itinerary in writing for the wedding day. As I said at the beginning of my review, our wedding turned out to be beautiful and I don't regret choosing CBBC. The day was picture perfect, the food was delicious, and all of our friends and family had a great time. I just wanted to share a candid review so people know what to expect.

garden room and reception in the Tavern Ballroom at CBBC and it was gorgeous. Gorgeous light fixtures, beautiful bar, modern colors, perfectly separate dining area from dancefloor-- exceptional view of the bay. We had minimal things that we needed to bring in for the event because they already had a beautiful backdrop, tables, linens and so on. Our event coordinator, Samantha Rutherford, was amazing. She is organized, she is personable and she had the whole thing down to a science which made it go so smoothly. Communication with Samantha easy and clear. Our food selections were excellent. We stayed right at the Inn which made everything so convenient, and also for our guests. We truly had the best day of our life and I don't think we would have felt the same way if we had had the wedding any place else.

a complete makeover and was re-painted and had new light fixtures installed before our wedding date. This venue has 3 ballrooms (so 3 weddings could be going on at the same time). The only time I realized another wedding was going on was during the ceremony, the wedding next to us had cocktail music a bit loud. It wasn't a big deal, I was just glad the staff made sure i didn't see another bride walking around like on the beach during photos. This venue has a gorgeous water view overlooking the bay bridge. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunset. I booked the venue mainly because of the outdoor ceremony space with separate cocktail tavern, but it's nice they had a separate room for the ceremony just in case it rained. The venue came with a day of coordinator. Ours was Teresa. She was professional and experienced. You could tell this isn't anything new for her, she's done this a lot. The staff know how to run a smooth wedding. Everything is organized and on a timeline. Although I did wish at times Teresa had communicated more during the planning process, she really did take care of everything the day of. We had one meeting with her months before the wedding where we decided on the food and timeline, and then we saw her again for the rehearsal the day before the wedding. I had brought some boxes to the rehearsal with my 'memory table stuff', candles, 'chalkboard signs' etc. and Teresa literally told me to put it on a table and she would take care of the rest. I left it up to her and had absolutely no stress the day of. The staff was amazing. The food was top notch for a wedding. Guests commented on the delicious cocktail food like the scallops, barbecue shrimp in bacon, and lamb lollipops. Even though we couldn't go to cocktail hr because we were taking pics, the staff had a plate of all of it at our sweetheart table. My grandma told me she's never been to a wedding where the kitchen doors opened and staff flooded out to serve all my guests within 5 mins. For the meal, the filet mignon and crab cake were perfectly cooked. We walked around and saw people's plates wiped clean, they ate every bite. In all honesty we could have done without some things, like for dessert we already had cupcakes, so buying the ice cream sundae station, chocolate covered strawberries, and 'Boardwalk French fries' station as our favor when people left was too much food. Problem was the venue makes sure you pay a minimum price so we had more food towards the end of the night than we needed. The venue is extremely expensive; however, considering the service and quality we got, I don't regret it. I've heard horror stories from other less expensive venues that don't do a good job and create stress for the bride. If you can afford this venue and want a place that completely takes care of everything, this is it! I highly recommend it. Just go into it knowing your budget. Our wedding was a beautiful day!

ssional and a pleasure to work with. Matt and I had the pleasure of working with Samantha from Day 1 all the way through to our big day. She made the entire process so easy! She had everything under control, right down to all the details. She helped provide several recommendations for other vendors in the area as well as good advice along the way (since she's done this a time or two before lol) Her advice was always spot on! We really are grateful for all the support Samantha gave us through this process. The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club is an absolutely gorgeous venue, the sunsets are incredible and the grounds are so well kept - it was just perfect! Thanks for making our wedding day such a memorable one! All the best, Liz & Matt

s 10/10. Thank you guys!!

esome about accommodating them and making recommendations to impress our guests within our budget. You get what you pay for; this place isn't cheap, but the food and drink are top-notch amongst an incredible backdrop. Our wedding was equal parts visually beautiful and delicious! The service was amazing and everyone had a blast. I got to visit the venue, but my husband was deployed, so he didn't see it in person. When he finally saw our room, he was blown away. It takes a lot to impress guys with wedding stuff, so take that as proof that this place is pretty incredible. They are truly the best in the business for a reason, and even if someone gave us an unlimited budget to do it all over again, we wouldn't do it any other way. Thank you, CBBC!!!!

rhaps more importantly, the entire staff at CBBC made our reception perfect. You drop everything off with them the week before and they set up everything (literally). They made everything so amazing and easy, and took such good care of us! We had planned on dancing outside, but the day was simply too hot, and they quickly rearranged things to move the dance floor inside; it was so easy, drama free, and really made the day. Other than our fabulous coordinator Erin, we were assigned Amanda who took care of us all night. Any time we needed anything she was right there making sure we had it - several times I was thirsty and too busy to grab a glass of water and she brought one to me - she was consistently thoughtful and had perfect timing with everything. The entire night went off perfectly because of the CBBC staff. Finally, as you can see from the pictures online or if you visit in person, there is not a more beautiful location to have your reception. It's gorgeous.

anywhere else. Erin Janes was so wonderful to work with; she understood our vision and made us feel at ease when it came to all the final details and decisions. Furthermore, Jodie and the wait staff were so polite, friendly, and extremely helpful. Everyone at CBBC made sure that the entire day went flawlessly and that any LAST minute changes were made without anyone noticing. All of our guests raved about the vaenue and we had many friends say that they now what to get married at CBBC! CBBC seriously has it down to a science and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

so amazing we did not have to worry about a thing! They made everything run so smoothly and perfectly! The venue and the grounds are beautiful, the food and bar was wonderful, and the service was impeccable! We were so happy to be there on our wedding day and the weather and sunset could not have been more beautiful for a picture perfect day! Thank you Teresa and Chesapeake Bay Beach Club for helping to make our wedding day absolutely unforgettable! We look forward to seeing you in two weeks for a cousin’s wedding! - Stutzman/Durkin wedding 12/5/15

vably picturesque, and the food was absolutely delicious—our guests could not stop raving about everything, from the Strawberry Basil Lemonade before the ceremony, to the ice cream soda floats to finish the evening. Teresa was our day of coordinator, and was super prompt and helpful every time we had questions or needed a recommendation for vendors. She and the whole staff were amazing and made everything go better than I could have ever imagined, and we didn’t have to worry about anything the day of the wedding other than being there and fully enjoying the experience!

e scenery was beautiful for our outdoor ceremony, the food was delicious, and the beach house ballroom was the perfect setting for our reception.

at the time and it was my only way of contact). And our rehearsal was a bit sporadic; we were unsure of what to do and if there were things to be worked on, and the person helping us was no help with direction. But everything was flawless day of and I couldn't be happier.

ing from Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC! Number two, is the staff, everyone is very professional and friendly! From the moment you stop into their Saturday morning open house to tour the venue to the decision to book the date, the professionals at the beach club are very responsive and easy to reach if you have a question! Number three is they offer everything you could want in one place! You can have the ceremony there, and you can use their wonderful list of approved vendors for the things they do not provide! Number four is the value, this venue offers a terrific value for the quality of the product! Number five is the experience, we still are hearing from family and guests about how much they loved being at our daughter's wedding!!! We felt like we were guests ourselves! You do not need a wedding planner, the beach club assigns you a wonderful person, ours was Erin Janes, who is truly amazing to work with! They also provide a captain for the day, ours was Samantha Rutherford she is a terrific person who is on top of the entire timeline during the ceremony and reception for your big day! The beach club also offers a bridal show which starts the entire experience off on the right foot! Then they assign you a tasting which allows you to taste and see how things work on a large scale! It gives you a chance to decide what you want for your event. Then there is a personal meeting with your wedding planner, in our case, Erin. She runs through a timeline for the day and asks you to make choices about food, decor, cake cutting, first dance, and other important parts of the day! She also makes helpful suggestions. And after that meeting she is available to talk on the phone or can be reached by email for questions. She sets up a rehearsal time if you would like one, and skillfully handles the running of the rehearsal! All the time using good humor and paying attention to the time needed to answer questions. I would highly recommend the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club, we used The Tavern Room, but all three rooms are all beautiful in their own way!!! This place is special on many levels!

Although it can be on the pricier side, it is totally worth it. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Not only did my husband and I have our own "Captain" assigned to wait on us, both sets of our parents were also well looked after and made them feel just as special. Both Erin and Teresa were extremely helpful. Erin ensured things operated smoothly even though there were slight hiccups and we didn't even notice. If your budget can allow you to have your reception at CBBC, I highly recommend it. Just reach out asking for a pricing list and they will get back to you ASAP.

y question my mom and I had throughout the process. We chose the venue for the views and beauty of the space and it did not disappoint. Our guests watched the sunset in the tavern during cocktail hour then entered the breathtaking Beach House ballroom. I also received so many compliments that night on the delicious food, from cocktail hour to the filet/crab cake meals. The staff on our wedding day was incredible. Kris and the bartenders made sure we had a drink at all times and were taken care of throughout our entire reception. Yes, this is a pricey venue - but if you have the budget for this venue, they are 100% worth every penny. Book them early!!

eally makes your guests feel like they are at a beach club. We had perfect weather for the outdoor ceremony space and cocktail hour. The Tavern Bayside cocktail space is really fun and was my favorite area of the venue. We loved the variety of food for cocktail hour (our favorite part of the wedding). We were very excited about the beer pairings but the crab cake station was definitely a guest favorite. For dinner, we had guests raving about the filet. It is very hard to have that many steaks cooked a perfect medium rare and they did it flawlessly. The team at CBBC is definitely a well-oiled machine. They are available to answer questions prior to the event and were extremely organized and attentive for day-of coordination. Cons: The pricing of CBBC is difficult because it is very a la carte. Things like table wine service, champagne toast and coffee are not included in the basic package, which was different than previous venues we'd visited. I'd definitely say that the quality of everything makes up for it, but it is just important to note for someone planning a wedding there. You have to be on your game because there are many moving parts and it is easy to go overboard when there are fewer packaged parts of the venue.

with Erin Janes on planning was a breeze. My wedding dreams not only came true, the CBBC exceeded anything I could have imagined!

ught of everything, every little detail. Whenever we asked questions she always responded quickly and with a lot of details. For our May 30th wedding, everything was perfect, the staff, the food, and the beautiful setting. I highly recommend CBBC for the wedding of your dreams. Shannon and Brendan Brandt

d always assured us that it was ok to ask anything that came to mind. The day of was so smooth - I didn't have to worry about a thing because their staff knew exactly what needed to be done and took care of everything. They assign someone to basically shadow the bride and groom the day of, and they make sure that they get food and drink or anything else they could possibly think of. The long and short of it is, is that the venue is expensive, but they are worth every cent you spend. I HIGHLY recommend them, and you will definitely not regret it.

rganized. On the day of the wedding, everything went seamlessly. Teresa worked with our vendors to make sure everyone knew where to set up. We felt like the staff were all of the same timeline, making sure people were where they needed to be, and making sure our guests comfortably transitioned from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour and reception. The CBBC was able to accommodate our special food requests with a delicious menu that kept all of our guests happy. They made our wedding day memorable for all of the right reasons!

eater DC area, we realized that nothing compared. We decided to call CBBC to see if they still had any available slots for 2014, and when we heard that they had availability in August, we decided to push our wedding up to the summer. Since then, we have never looked back. In the lead up to the wedding, we enjoyed the tasting and meetings with Erin Janes. She was helpful and responded to each of our questions. If she was out, another individual from CBBC was able to assist. While we felt that the customer service in the lead up was terrific, I cannot say enough about the customer service the day before and the day of the wedding. For our rehearsal, some of our bridal party got stuck in traffic on the bridge. Erin was patient with us and stayed late to get the full rehearsal in, even though people were late. On the day of, we were greeted by our "captain" for the day (I think her name was Jess). She was terrific. Whatever we needed prior to the ceremony, she helped us with. Then, our ceremony went off without a hitch. Post-wedding, Erin helped me bustle my dress, gathered my family for pictures and even got my husband and I drinks and food when she saw that we had not had a chance to get to the food/beverages. The food was terrific. Our guests were raving about it all night and since. The staff were friendly to our guests and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. The day was seamless, and I cannot say enough about the folks at CBBC. On top of the staff and food, the location is perfect. We had our ceremony on the rooftop of the Sunset Ballroom and the reception in the Sunset Ballroom. The sunset and the Bay Bridge at night were stunning. I can't say enough about CBBC. Thanks for making our wedding day one we'll never forget!

de sure the vendors stayed a little late so we didn't lose time. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone.

orted, and on the day of, she made everything run smoothly AND completely relaxed me. Our outdoor ceremony was scheduled to start at 6pm, and it started down pouring at 2pm. I was so disappointed/stressed that we would not be able to get married outside. When it started to peter out around 530pm, Erin got everything set up and we were still able to get married outside. The food was outstanding. Best wedding food I have ever had. We went to the tasting (which is held with a large group of people getting married in the same time frame, so 200 people) and couldn't believe the flavors, and were happy so see that they could serve large groups of people and keep up the quality. Day of, it was just as good. So many guests said it was the best wedding food ever - particularly the braised kalbi short rib appetizer, the poached pear/almond/brie filo pastry appetizer, and the crab cake and filet mains. Everyone was raving about the food. And the servers made sure to bring appetizers to us while we took pictures, and even put a plate of appetizers on our sweetheart table so we could enjoy them during dinner as well. My only slight negative - it is a pricey venue, and you have a minimum to hit. We ended up with much smaller numbers than we expected - 80 guests instead of about 95. We felt like we were just adding things to the food list to hit the minimum, and we had a lot of leftovers. Just something to be aware of it you have a smaller wedding.

my opinion for you and your guests not to have a great time here. Staff: Very helpful and accommodating. The wedding can feel like it is specifically centered on you and your day. Everyone was friendly and on top of things. I did not feel at all frazzled because they were so accommodating in terms of set up and catering to us and guests. Even when there was unexpected traffic on the bridge from Annapolis, they met us off the bus and told us without us even asking (which we would have) that we would have an extra half hour since most guests would arrive late. No additional charge. Ceremony/Reception: My husband and I just had the reception although they do ceremonies as well. It was amazing. Food & Bar: The food was very good - several guests have told me it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. I'd suggest the buffet as opposed to the seated meals - the food at the buffet tasted better but you'll figure out at the tasting. Minimum bar is well stocked. Packing Up: They even helped my family tote belonging back to the cars. There were no surprise charges. Though you pay a fair amount, you'll get an exceptional location, food, and service. I highly suggest this venue. You won't regret it!

re perfect day. I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting a completely full service team and amazing food & service.

ons! After we chose this venue and before our wedding day, my husband and I moved to Florida. The initial thought of having to plan our wedding from so far away was stressful, but Teresa made everything a breeze!! Special thanks is owed to Jody for helping out with last-minute tasks just a few days prior to our big day!! Our wedding was almost a month ago and our guests, family, and friends are still RAVING about how beautiful and perfect our day was!! I only wish I could go back in time and live it again!! Simple a PERFECT wedding!! Thank you so much to the CBBC and Teresa!!!!!!

had been able to go over details with our captain before the day as there were a few things that didn't go as we had discussed with the coordinator. But none of these details affected the overall enjoyment of the night!
