The Lewes Room at Irish Eyes was a fantastic choice for our wedding venue.

On the day of, their customer service was top-notch, and they were very accommodating when we ended up running behind due to traffic. The space itself was perfect for our 110 guest wedding, with a beautiful sunset view that made for amazing photos. The dance floor is on the smaller end, but we made it work!

The Clubhouse at Baywood was the perfect place to have my company's annual retreat. The views and landscaping surrounding the golf course are spectacular. The Ballroom was the perfect size for our large group of 100 guests, with room to spare a huge parking lot. We loved that they had state of the art a/v with multiple drop down screens and ceiling mounted projectors. The team was fantastic and super easy to work with. When we met there for a walk through it was set up for a wedding the next day. It's a super versatile space for both corporate events and lavish wedding receptions!

The Anchorage was amazing! My wife and I got married here last June, and to say everything was perfect would be an understatement. It's hard to put into words explaining how great Woody and Michelle were helping us make our special day go exactly as planned. The property is beautiful, spacious, and well kept. The waterfront view was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony (Woody even went out of his way to make an aisle of sand for us to walk down). The cigar shack was awesome and the barn was also set up for me and my groomsmen to get ready and hang out until the big moment (they especially enjoyed the darts, ring and hook, and bar with a kegerator). My family and I were very happy with the rooms which were spotless, comfortable, and included refrigerators/kitchenettes. My wife was very happy with her space to get ready, especially with Michelle doing everything she could ensuring the girls had what they needed and making sure everyone was stress free! Woody and Michelle were more than accommodating. Breakfast was always delicious (the smoothies and Woodys Waffles were my favorites). They were also life savers dealing with our vendors dropping stuff off (at times earlier than expected), even using their golf cart to help move stuff down to the beach to help set up. The golf cart also came in handy taxing people up and down the hill when needed! I HIGHLY recommend this venue! Woody and Michelle are two of the most kind, accommodating (and hilarious) people I've ever met, and I can't begin to thank them enough for everything they did to make sure our special day went off without a hitch. We fully intend on coming back to enjoy their beautiful BnB again!

I made a list of all of the things that were most important to us about the ceremony (toes in the sand), the reception look and feel (outdoors and laid back) and what it would be like to work with the venue and the coordinators and the other vendors (easy and detailed). We searched thoroughly because we wanted a place that would deliver a nearby location for a whole weekend. The Deauville Inn was ideal and working with Judy was perfect. Judy guided me through all of the details, was responsive and in touch all the way -- giving me the tools that I needed to make decisions, including great vendor recommendations. Our day was perfect -- and I remember every moment including the entire ceremony (thank you to Judy for telling me to breathe before you sent me on my way!) The Deauville Inn has a great set up -- the food is terrific, the setting is beautiful and the whole staff was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for giving us the most beautiful memories!!

The Winding Woods Venue was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication style was friendly, informative, and made the entire planning process a breeze. The venue itself is worth far more than the reasonable price they charge - the space has such an amazing homey and cozy atmosphere that all of our guests commented on. The team was incredibly helpful, coordinating the day-of timeline seamlessly and even lending a hand with setting up and breaking down our decor. Their professionalism and attention to detail really shone through during the rehearsal as well.

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

Hy husband and I were married at Lighthouse Sound on September 8th. To say that our day was perfect would be an understatement. Here is our review… The Space: We continue to have our guests tell us that this was the most beautiful wedding venue they have ever seen even months after our wedding. Our ceremony took place in the gazebo, cocktail hour on the patio, and reception in the tent (rented from Coastal Tented Events). All with incredible water views, cooling breezes, and great light. We were blessed with amazing weather, but also loved the indoor backup plan. The Staff: During the planning process, we worked with incredible coordinators. Shellie and Rose were THE BEST to work with. They were willing and excited to answer my one million questions the months leading up to the wedding. Shellie communicated with our other vendors and gave recommendations every step of the way. Their day-of coordination was SPOT ON. They made sure every decoration, floral arrangement, sign, etc. was perfect and that the entire schedule of the day ran smoothly. The wonderful bartenders and servers provided outstanding service for my husband and I and all of our guests. The drinks were great and the food was incredible. Which brings me to the food… The Food: We loved how many options were available when selecting our menu… dinner tiers, plated or buffet style, hors d’oeuvres, and desserts. Having the catering done in house was so helpful and made our planning process easier. The Golf: My husband loves to golf! He enjoyed playing the course on the morning of our wedding (he got one foursome for free). The pro shop was happy to help with scheduling tee times for his groomsmen and our other family members that played as well. He said this is one of his favorite courses he has ever played! We cannot recommend Lighthouse Sound more. We had the most incredible wedding and credit so much of that to the wonderful people and experience Lighthouse Sound. We can’t wait to come back for more meals and golf next time we are in town.
