Question

Will there be parking at the church?

Answer

Yes, there will be ample parking behind the church.

Question

Will there be parking at the reception?

Answer

Yes, there will be parking at the reception if you aren't planning on staying the night. We will also have a shuttle service from the Kent Island hotels and a return shuttle service to The Jetty and the hotels. Please check the shuttle schedule below.

Question

What should we do between the Ceremony and Reception?

Answer

There will be a three and a half hour gap between the Ceremony and the Reception to leave plenty of time for travel over the Bay Bridge. This is a great time to have lunch in Annapolis or travel to the Kent Narrows hotel area for lunch and check into your hotel. Most hotel check-in times are 3:00 PM. Travel Distances (Check for Traffic): St. Mary's Parish to Chesapeake Bay Beach Club - 30 - 45 minutes St. Mary's Parish to Kent Narrows Hotel Area - 35-50 minutes
