“I don't have enough good things to say about KD and the Team at Wylder Hotel Tilghman Island! Everything from our first visit to The Wylder, to the morning after our wedding and beyond was amazing! My husbands family has owned a home just outside of Tilghman Island for years, it was my dream to get married in the area and The Wylder was the perfect place! We visited every time we came to St. Michaels and each time I found something more to love about The Wylder! The venue is a perfect space to have all of your favorite people together for your entire wedding weekend and the location is stunning! All of our guests were raving about how gorgeous The Wylder was and how much fun our entire wedding weekend was because of all that The Wylder has to offer! We got married on November 1st, which meant out welcome party fell on Halloween! The kids from our wedding were able to trick or treat with our family and friends at the bungalows and the groom and his friends were able to spend the morning enjoying Splash City Golf, which was a HUGE HIT! As a bride, KD was a DREAM to work with! She answered every email and phone calls so quickly and was so patient with all of my questions and last minute needs!! She made absolutely everything run so smoothly for us!! On our wedding day she made sure everything I needed was done! We truly cannot recommend The Wylder enough!”

As a type B, but easily overwhelmed bride, Amy was always so sweet, accommodating, quick & responsive with any & every question I sent her. Brice was beyond helpful with assisting & making sure our day ran smooth & beautifully. I will never have enough words to thank them for making our wedding day the most magical day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, the lavender field, the homemade arch, the beautiful barn made for such an amazing backdrop for our amazing day. The barn had everything we could have needed & more. Space, bathrooms, bridal suite, storage room, bar & more. 5 stars is not a big enough rating for such an amazing place.

“While there were many aspects of our wedding day that we will love and be thankful for, when people ask us what was our favorite part of the day, we instantly knew that it was simply "just having our wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation." We only looked at CBF as the venue for our wedding because after seeing it, we knew it checked all the boxes and that we didn't need to look anywhere else! The venue is perfect for a couple that wants an intimate location that also highlights the beauty of nature. We loved that CBF allowed our guests the opportunity to either dance away on the deck or wander on the sand and dip their toes in the Bay. It brought us a lot of joy that before the wedding we saw our younger guests playing with a football while they waiting for the ceremony to begin and then later in the night playing yard games! We also learned that being at CBF was the first time one of our wedding guests had seen a large body of water before- so the day was magical for so many reasons thanks to CBF!”

“We got married at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club on May 17, 2025, and had the most stellar experience we could have hoped for. From the very beginning, we were blown away. We attended one of their Saturday open houses for our initial tour and were immediately impressed - not just by the stunning waterfront venue and all the flexible, thoughtfully designed event spaces, but also by how knowledgeable, professional, and confident the entire team was. We left that tour knowing we’d be in the best hands and we were absolutely right. Every step of the planning process was seamless - from the delicious food and drink tasting, to room blocks at their on-site inn, to spa services, to vendor coordination and final timeline planning. Everything was organized, stress-free, and incredibly well executed. Samantha, our coordinator, was truly a rockstar. She answered every one of my many (many!) questions with patience and clarity, and always helped ease any nerves I had in the weeks leading up to our wedding day. Her responsiveness and calm presence made all the difference. The wedding day went absolutely flawlessly. Everything ran like clockwork. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing—every vendor knew where to go and when to be there, and all the details we’d planned came together perfectly. I truly got to just show up and have the best day of my life. The team at CBBC knows what they’re doing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're looking for a venue that combines stunning views with expert-level coordination and service, look no further.”

“Getting married at the Royal Sonesta Capitol Hill was the best decision we made in our planning process, and it completely redefined what a hotel wedding can look like. From a logistics and execution standpoint, the staff operated at a level of 5-star professionalism that is hard to find. From our first inquiry onward they treated my wife and I as well as each guest with genuine care and attentiveness. Working with Anais was a truly collaborative process, we felt she was part of our team and she helped us so much throughout our planning and execution. Anais and her staff anticipated our needs and helped execute a perfect event that never felt rushed, and maintained a calm, gracious demeanor through the entire process, especially the wedding weekend itself. The venue itself delivers on every front. The guest rooms and public spaces are immaculate, the reception and ceremony room picture perfect, and the rooftop views of the monuments, breathtaking. Additionally, I’d like to Shout out the staff at the hotel’s restaurant, Bistro Du Jour. In the months leading up the wedding we shared many special moments thanks to Oliver and the team. As for the food options were varied and all exceptional. Multiple guests went out of their way to tell us it was the best wedding meal they'd ever had, and the kitchen executed the entire menu with absolute consistency. The packages for wedding offered are extremely fair, diverse and really remove so much guesswork from the planning. We wish we could get married all over again. We would recommend the Royal Sonesta Capitol Hill to anyone.”

“What initially made us go with the National Press Club was that much of the most complicated aspects of putting a wedding together are available in-house. You deal with one person who asks the right questions up front, assesses your wants and needs and manages every detail from that point forward. If you’re planning your first wedding (like we were), it’s likely you’re already getting overwhelmed by the realization of how many critical details go into a successful wedding. However, at The Press Club: Reception Catering: Check. Cocktail hour catering: Check. Bar: Check. Tables / chairs / linens / etc. Check. Dance floor: Check. Audio Visual technician: Check. Alphabetizing your table place cards. Check. And so on and so on. All we needed to do was hire a deejay, a wedding photographer, a bakery for the wedding cake and the florist. And on the day of the wedding, the NPC staff took care of getting our vendors in and out and dealing with unexpected logistical issues, which there always are with any large events. The pricing was transparent and the estimate on the banquet order was what we paid. Ok, those are the practical reasons the NPC was a great choice. Now for the aesthetics. The Press Club is quintessential Washington, DC classy. They have multiple rooms that one can rent to customize your wedding experience. Our ceremony took place in the Holeman Lounge which flowed into the First Amendment Lounge, where we had our cocktail hour. The First Amendment Lounge offers stunning views of DC, including the Washington Monument and the east wing of the White House. Our reception took place in The Ballroom. We also had a room for our vendors to stage and a private space for us and the wedding party, which was such a nice touch. Many of our wedding guests were in awe of the NPC. It feels very exclusive and so many of them took the opportunity to take pictures of themselves at the Press Club podium and selfies with the luminaries and historical figures adorning the walls throughout. The service: This is where the National Press Club really stands out. We were blessed to have Renee managing the process from beginning to end. We can’t stress enough the amazing service she provided. She went through every detail with us. Twice just to make sure she captured everything correctly down to how we wanted the napkins folded. Two months before the wedding she put together the most beautiful food tasting experience for us. Before locking in our menu, we tasted a number of appetizers that would be served during cocktail hour as well as the dinner options and desserts. We also tasted a variety of wines. All in all, it was a preview of how fantastic our reception would be, with both the food and the service. The day of, Renee and David took fabulous care of us and our guests. Both really went above and beyond of what we could possibly imagine. During our rehearsal the day before, Renee noticed the wedding party was struggling a little to get the timing of the processional right and she jumped in and helped with our timing and ended up cueing us as to when to start walking the actual day. All of this combined to make our wedding a fabulous experience with zero stress. As positive as this review is, it falls hopelessly short of conveying just how wonderful our experience was.”
