  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

If you’re visiting this page, chances are you’re planning the most important day of your life! First off, please accept a resounding congratulations from the entire team at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. For over two decades, we’ve been journeying alongside couples and their families as they plan for this joyous occasion, and we’d be bluffing if we said it wasn’t our absolute favorite thing in the world! A stunning, coastal Maryland backdrop ideal for your dream wedding, we cordially invite you to plan your very special day with us at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club! With four fantastic venue options to choose from (each of which brings its own unique distinction), the custom-curated, Chesapeake Bay wedding of your dreams is within reach like never before! Select from our array of remarkable spaces as you plan not only your wedding ceremony, but also your splendid rehearsal dinner, celebratory reception, cheery bridal luncheon, and more!

We had our wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club on 7/10/22 and it was a dream. We worked with Samantha who made our process seamless. You truly do not need a wedding planner or day of coordinator when you have the CBBC team who will take care of everything the day of - from communicating with our vendors, to making sure our day ran smoothly and on time - they were all wonderful. We got married in the Tavern Ballroom and had our wedding outside on the lawn - it was beautiful. The night before our wedding, we did a small (25 ppl) rehearsal dinner at a private room at Knoxie's Table at the Inn and then did welcome drinks at the bar with all of our guests. After the wedding, we all hung around the lit fire pits in the courtyard. It was so nice that our guests were staying at the Inn on the property and that all of our activities were there so no one needed to drive or leave to go anywhere. Many of our guests made a point to tell us how much they loved it and that it was the best wedding they've ever been too (I'm telling myself they don't say that to everyone! :)) I cannot recommend CBBC & their staff enough. My only regret is that the wedding didn't last near long enough 3

The Osprey's at Belmont Bay is a charming waterfront venue filled with natural beauty and a laid back luxury. With the picturesque Occoquan River providing a naturally breathtaking backdrop, the venue features a beautifully adorned ballroom and spacious accommodations for up to 146 guests. Our outdoor ceremonies are truly enchanting with a flagstone aisle leading to a pergola framed by a beautiful waterfront view.

The Osprey’s at Belmont Bay is the best venue! From the moment we walked in we loved working with Amy! She was so sweet and helpful and made the wedding planning process so much easier and less stressful. Unfortunately, Amy left while working with her, however Vanessa quickly stepped up and helped us with everything we needed. We loved working with Vanessa. Vanessa was super detail oriented and made sure our day was flawless. We received so many compliments from all our guests on how beautiful our venue and the scenery around it were. I also will admit that I was nervous with the ballroom and dance being split, however it worked perfectly and was not an issue at all. I knew right from the beginning that having a bridal suite where I felt comfortable in was really important. The Osprey’s has the most beautiful bridal suite! My bridal party and I had the best time getting ready in there. My hair and makeup artists said they had never seen such a beautiful space for the bridal and bridal party. I also loved that they had a decor closet! This saved me so much money and made our wedding so beautiful! Book your wedding at the Osprey’s at Belmont Bay, you won’t regret it!

It features 2,000 square feet of space and can hold up to 200 people. We have a complete sound system and welcome outside food and drink. Reach out today to start planning your dream event.

I found The Garden ALX here on Zola and was completely satisfied with our experience. We had a kid-friendly Sunday afternoon reception and the venue fit the bill perfectly. They had multiple packages to choose from and an hourly rate as well. We had a four hour reception and they threw in two hours of free setup and an hour to take down and clear up. They also have yard games and other add ons you can include. Mary was great to work with and helped with any questions along the way. The only advice I would give is to reach out to them directly instead of through Zola for a faster response initially. Given the high price tag if venues in the DC area The Garden is a great option if your wedding is under 100 guests and you are looking to have a more casual reception.

Our whole experience with our wedding at Walden Country Club was amazing. Ilene walked us through everything a year ahead. She was clear about payment and followed up with us along the way about all the details. She encouraged us to do what WE wanted! She kept everything very organized. On the wedding day, the staff was very attentive; Alice especially came to us with questions throughout the day. The setup and cleanup were well done. We also liked how often plates were cleared! The entire process beginning to end was painless and our day was perfect. THANK YOU ILENE & WALDEN STAFF!!
