Zoe was great during the actual process to ensure we stayed on track and helping our vision come to life. Alma was amazing coordinating our wedding the day of.

The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the team was incredibly responsive and dedicated to providing us with the correct information to make the best decisions for our special day, and we had tons. Their Commodore package allowed us access to the entirety of the stunning Sunset Ballroom, which was elegant at its foundation, spacious for our guests, well-maintained, and boasted gorgeous views of the Chesapeake Bay. The levels of care and attention to detail they showed us from the moment we signed our contract to the day-of were truly impeccable - they went above and beyond to make us feel like the most special couple in the world. It’s truly a testament to how well they execute everything when you know they are doing this for several couples a weekend.

People appreciate Westminster's prime location at the corner of Fayette and Greene Streets in downtown Baltimore.

Venue considerations

Overall, we loved our wedding here! We picked this venue in part because it’s so beautiful that the decor we would need to do would be minimal. We were right about that, and there was even some decor provided by the venue in the form of trees with lights. The organ is absolutely beautiful. There is an inside area with a table that’s perfect for cards, seating charts, and a guest book. The layout with upper areas around the organ makes a nice configuration for guest seating. The biggest downside was the bridal getting ready suite is very small and there isn’t a separate area for the groom, so we got ready and took pictures at a nearby hotel. The grounds are also lovely and were great for first look pictures in the graveyard (which is permissible if done tastefully). You can pay an extra 100/hour for the guests to tour the catacombs under the church, which was a nice touch. My other complaint was the technical difficulties — we couldn’t get the microphone at the podium to work so we had to project, and the bass in the music using their auxiliary system kept going in and out. The grounds keeper kept an eye on things for us in terms of crowd control and lighting.

The MCHC was the greatest place to have a wedding. We got married outside in the courtyard and had the reception in France Hall, which was a great multi-purpose/event room that was easy to use and adapt to our purposes. The staff was extremely friendly and they had an on-site coordinator/assistant there for the rehearsal and day of. When it looked like it might rain and we wouldn’t be able to use the courtyard, they offered to open up another part of the museum to our guests to compensate. They also had a decent amount of parking available to our guests, rare in the middle of Baltimore. Overall I loved having my wedding in such a special place

We want to express our deepest gratitude to our wedding coordinator Olivia at The Belvedere and the whole team for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Everything came together so beautifully and it was truly the most special, magical night! Our ceremony space was absolutely stunning, and the cocktail hour and reception ran so smoothly.
