It can be challenging to find a venue on the Eastern Shore that feels unique and special–let me assure you that Brittingham Farms is one of those rare spots. I had the privilege of filming an event here and was so impressed with all the thoughtful details Laura and her team have thought of to make this space a dreamy spot for hosting guests. The private pond, fields upon fields of lavender, pergola cocktail area, wooded paths, and the adorable grazing sheep are just a few of the stunning backdrops for your special event and each is *chef's kiss* in creating that special, whimsical look any couple would love for their day. Highly recommend Laura Brittingham and this venue–book with them! ...Do it!!

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.

Since Willow Creek opened in 2013, I've always said this would be the most beautiful venue for a wedding. 6.3.23 I had my wedding at Willow Creek and it was more perfect then I could have imagined it all those years. The venue is obviously stunning, getting the entire grounds on the whole day to take pictures gave us time to take the most amazing pictures. From the beautiful vineyards, to the owners love for colorful landscaping, wood beams, leather couches, imported chandeliers, and pops of color throughout, this venue offers picture perfect scenery no matter where you are on the property. It is also a short drive to the beach, where we had our first looks and then had the rest of our pictures at the winery. We rented their Rose Room for an hour or two which was a great spot for the wedding party to hang and everyone to freshen up before the ceremony. We had our ceremony at the wine tasting building, which definitely makes you timeline a lot tighter, but Willow Creek has preferred vendors that are experts in working with the wineries timelines and will make sure that everything is ready to go by your start time. Hamilton is absolutely amazing. She is a quick responder to all questions and is so pleasant to work with. She made the stressful process of wedding planning a lot easier. Our guest raved about the food (the beef wellington hors d'oeuvre was a crowd favorite). And the party favors that come with your package are little wine bottles, which of course, none were left behind. Bonus: it's pet friendly through cocktail hour so we had our pup in the wedding! Willow Creek is a dream wedding venue and you wont be disappointed working with them for your big day.

This was a dream wedding venue and team. We held cocktail hour upstairs, dinner and dancing under the beautiful tent! Alyssa was an absolute pleasure to work with! She always had the calmest, positive and open delivery throughout each step of a stressful wedding process. She made the process much easier and really worked with us to address all of our questions and needs throughout the year of planning. During our last visit, Alyssa had the best ideas for design and layout. These ideas really made our photos stand out. The chef, Joey, was truly unbelievable. All of our guests said best food at a wedding and better yet, best food in general! Both Joey and Alyssa were so helpful coming up with interesting menu ideas. The staff- every single bartender and waiter was on it! No cup was empty, no one was waiting on their food, all allergies were correctly listened to. Not only was the service amazing, but they all were happy to be there, adding positive energy to our big day. I can't recommend Alyssa and her team enough! Thank you!!! XO

Awarded Best of Zola
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
