The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club was fantastic. The staff was helpful, responsive, organized and professional. They anticipated every need of our guests, the bridal party and our families. The setting is beautiful, the food was great, and our guests had a great time.

We investigated a lot of locations for my daughter's wedding but we chose CBCC in large part because we got the feeling that the staff had the experience and skills to put together a fabulous event. We had very high expectations and they did not disappoint. From the very beginning of the process until the last guest left, they made us feel like our wedding was their only focus. When we pulled up in the limosine on the day of the wedding and saw all of the staff standing there with headsets on awaiting our arrival, we felt like royalty. We had a lot of things to pack into a six hour time span and they did a fantastic job ensuring that things ran like clockwork despite dealing with things out of their control. Almost every detail was as we had specified which is truly remarkable considering how many details they needed to get right. All of our guests just raved about the food and we were so impressed with the quality and presentation of everything. The rockfish was some of the best I have had anywhere. Some of our guests who have dined all around the world are still raving about the excellent food. Even the drinks were beautifully presented. The grounds we lovely, the restrooms were sparkling, the temperature inside the ballrooms was perfect, the bartenders were friendly, and the organization of the event was impeccable. I am sure I am forgetting to mention so much else that went right because it all seemed so seamless and beautiful. My daughter and her husband were thrilled and our guests were completely delighted and impressed. Fair warning, though, that everyone will RSVP in the affirmative because no one wants to miss a CBCC wedding!

The CBBC Is such a beautiful venue. The constant communication and individual attention with Erin made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the planning process of the entire wedding. The staff is very friendly and professional and they ran the wedding timeline perfectly. The food is delicious and excellent in presentation. I'm so glad to have had such a perfect wedding at the perfect venue site.

The folks at the Bay Beach Club were such a breeze to work with. It was so worth it to book them and feel like I didn't have to worry about ANY detail. I was planning everything from across the country and they didn't miss a beat. The food was AMAZING...we wished we could have taken some plates home!!! There were two other weddings going on the night we had our reception and we would not have even noticed except for the three bride/grooms taking photos at sunset on the beach at the same time! Haha.

We absolutely loved the CBBC. We worked with Teresa and she was so helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and fun! Every detail and dream I had for our wedding was executed perfectly, and the wedding and reception were just beautiful. It was always my dream to have my wedding at the CBBC and it was just as perfect as I imagined it would be. My only word of caution would be that if you have your wedding on a rooftop deck to make sure to have a runner put down. My dress got quite dirty, which you expect it to during the wedding, but had I had a runner put down, it wouldn't have gotten quite as bad.

This venue was beautiful! The weather was perfect for our outdoor ceremony looking over the bay and bay bridge. The food was outstanding, and everything was set up and run very nicely!

If you're considering this venue, go for it! We couldn't have asked for a better location for our ceremony and reception, or for better people to work with. Teresa was our coordinator and handled everything perfectly. I of course had tons of questions and she was very quick to get back to me and always had answers and suggestions for everything. They take care of everything down to the very last detail without blinking an eye. We chose not to have a rehearsal and showed up that day and everything went very smoothly. They had everything in order and I wasn't getting bombarded with questions so I was able to relax and have a great time. It is pricey but it's totally worth every penny. I have no regrets and we have already talked about having an anniversary party at the Beach Club! I hope we get invited to a wedding there so we can enjoy it even more!

I'm so blessed to have been married in such a beautiful and unique venue. The staff is unbelievable and extremely knowledgeable on all planning details. I mostly worked with Erin Janes. Erin was truly a pleasure...she listened to me and made everything happen just the way I imagined. I had little to worry about and that's all a bride can hope for. I'm sad it's all over!!!CBBC is fantastic...I highly recommend getting married here. They are professional, organized and patient. My dreams came true a few weeks ago, and it's all thanks to them.Mary Christy

If you want kind, experienced, and truly decent people in charge of your wedding, than please have your wedding here. The CBBC has the beautiful views, the wonderful staff, and the knowledge from being in business for over 10 years to make your wedding day truly special. They have tours every Saturday morning which makes viewing the venue so simple, and the owner himself, John Wilson, often provides the guided tours. The food, service, and attention to detail made our wedding day completely flawless. Even the weather was beautiful! This is the premiere wedding site for the quintessential Maryland wedding�the Chesapeake Bay, the Bay Bridge, and Crab Cakes � what more could you ask for? Erin Janes and the entire CBBC staff created an absolutely perfect wedding. They even offer to clean the sand off your feet after taking pictures on the beach ;) Now that is going above and beyond! I would also highly recommend a Sunday wedding - we rented two houses on the eastern shore for our families and bridal party, so we were able to spend an entire weekend together (he with his guys and me with my girls). Rehearsals are on Friday, so you can have the weekend to relax, get manicures/pedicures (or take out the boat as the guys did!), and enjoy an entire wedding weekend. I have so many wonderful memories with my bridesmaids now, that I never would of had if we were married on a Saturday.

CBBC was the first place we walked into when looking for our wedding/reception location- it was also our last. We fell in love with it from the start. Yes, CBBC is on the expensive side. With that in mind however, everything was first class. We had several bar packages and food choices to pick from and when it came to the alcohol, we were told we could have anything... if they did not have it, they would order it. Our guests still talk about the perfectly prepared Filet and amazing appetizers. Our wedding coordinator was amazing. There is no other word for Erin Janes. She made me feel like the most important person in the world throughout the entire process. I had planned an outdoor wedding- it was my dream. Of course, it rained the day of and Erin supported me 100% in whatever decided to do. And so, we were married outside in the rain- Erin did not try to talk me out of it and the staff had EVERY single chair dried for my guests- they dried them as each guest sat down and even provided the bridal party with extra umbrellas. I did not have to think of a single thing on my wedding day and hey took care of anything and everything for us. I cannot say enough about CBBC and their staff- simply amazing people. I would recommend CBBC to anyone who is looking for perfection and who wants to actually sleep the night before their wedding instead of worry.

CBBC was a joy to work with from start to finish! Erin Janes was our wedding coordinator and she was just so sweet and so refreshing to work with! She handles EVERYTHING and honestly, the only thing we had to do was pick the food for the reception and drop off all the decorations with a list of directions for where I wanted everything to go and the folks at CBBC did the rest!The food tasting was so fun-a morning of eating and drinking and tasting EVERYTHING CBBC has to offer from their menu!The view was breathtaking on our beautiful September wedding day and the food and details of the ballroom was PERFECT! Although it's a bit pricey to hold a wedding here I don't regret ANYTHING as you surely get what you pay for! I wish I could do it all over again!Thanks Erin and CBBC for making my wedding a dream come true!!! xoxox

Where do I start!! This place is amazing, they really cater to your every need, I am so pleased with the way our Wedding at CBBC turned out. I have had so many compliments and people telling me how attentive the staff were and how beautiful everything was. The location is wonderful, having the Chesapeake Bay and the infamous Bay Bridge as your back drop is the epitome of Maryland. Of course there famous Crab Cakes help too!! Before I chose the CBBC I looked at many places and nothing compared to the detail and nature beauty of this place. They take pride in making your Wedding Day turn out perfectly! I also want to mention Teresa, she was so accommodating and ready and willing to help me with everything and all the million questions that I had.It would not have been the same with out her!

Chesapeake Bay Beach Club was THE perfect wedding venue. The day-of and pre-event planning services were best-in-class. They accomodated all of our wishes, and were so attentive to detail. I didn't have to worry about one thing the day of the wedding - the staff took care of everything for us. The site itself offers the most beautiful pictures you could ask for. The lawns are perfect for ceremonies. Our guests commented that they've never been to a better wedding venue (our local guests even wished that they had heard of the Beach Club for their own weddings!). I HIGHLY recommend the Beach Club!!!

The staff at the CBBC really helped to make our wedding amazing!!! Our "captain" for the night kept us on track so that everything was on time. The weather was not the best but that did not matter because the staff were very helpful and flexible to allow for us to have a beautiful day.

The CBBC is amazing! It was the first and only venue I visited. When I saw the grounds and facilities, I made up my mind on the spot. Erin Janes was our coordinator and she was fantastic. I planned my wedding from Texas and from Virigina. She was so helpful and responsive with any questions I had. Even though it is a bit pricey; it is so worth it. My wedding was fabulous! The food was so amazingly delicious. The menu is so diverse and the chefs will even try and create something to add your own personal touch. We had little grilled cheese sandies with a "shot" of tomato basil soup as an appetizer. So basic...yet so delicious. All of our guests kept telling us how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was (something every bride and groom would love to hear). Also, we did not have to worry about a thing; everything was taken care of. This allowed us to really focus on ourselves, our guests and really have a great time. The night was perfect and ran so smoothly thanks to Erin and the staff at the CBBC. I could not have been luckier with how amazing and perfect my wedding was. I would definitely recommend the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club for any special event. They go above and beyond!

My fiance and I wanted a waterfront wedding and we had heard great things about CBBC. It was the first and only place we visited. Once we saw it, we knew that we had to have our wedding at this gorgeous venue. The staff was friendly, helpful, courteous and professional from the open house through the entire planning process, and was exceptional on the day of our wedding. They truly went above and beyond our expectations in helping our wedding day run smoothly. Not only do you get a gorgeous venue, but the catering, tables/chairs, linens and china are handled by them as well.Our guests raved about how beautiful the grounds and facilities are and were very impressed by the staff.I highly recommend this venue. It is worth every penny!

When I was searching online for a wedding venue, CBBC kept showing up but I wasn't paying attention to it. After visitng some places and not liking many of them (hotels, mansions, wineries) I decided to take my fiance and parents to CBBC. As soon as we arrived, we said "this is it"!!I LOVED my wedding at the CBBC. I worked with Teresa and she was fabulous from Day 1 all the way through the event. I had a Persian wedding ceremony which is quite elaborate and perhaps difficult for Americans to understand - but she did everything she could to make it perfect! She worked closely with my day-of coorindator (from Wedding Savvy - also wonderful!!). My parents also loved Teresa and we all looked forward to every meeting with her. My wedding was in the Beach House Ballroom on a Saturday night. While it was a little pricey, on the day of the event, all I could say was that it was ALL worth it - every penny! They got every single detail right - and "hosted" the best evening. So many of my guests could not believe how beautiful the venue was and how professional the staff was. My pictures are amazing because of the backdrop (the ocean and the manicured lawns). The food was outstanding and that is even an understatement!!! We had filet and crabcakes and so many people told me those were the best they'd ever eaten. Also we had the chocolate fountain which was a site in itself. I cannot say enough great things - during the entire year of planning, I saw how accommodating Teresa was to make my every vision happen and am so thankful that she made my wedding process so easy for me. And lastly, they hosted a couple of events to introduce us to their preferred vendors which was also really helpful. And their food tasting event was absolutely wonderful - I don't think I tried anything I didn't like. I am so thankful for the CBBC - it was the wedding of our dreams!

We worked with Erin, got married on the deck and used the sunset/garden rooms for our reception. It is a pricey venue but all I can say is that our day was absolutely perfect and worth every dollar. I wouldn't change a thing. the beach club went above and beyond. and you would never know there are other weddings going on at the same time because you feel like the star. the only thing that went wrong, which really can't be controlled, was my bustle broke before the first dance, and Erin fixed that in a flash!!!!
