Bohemia Overlook

My husband and I got married at the Manor at Bohemia Overlook this past June (2021) and I could not recommend it more. When we were looking for venues we knew we wanted to get married on the water and finding the Manor at Bohemia Overlook felt like hitting the jackpot. The Manor House itself provided the perfect spot to get ready for all of my bridesmaids, have pre wedding champagne toasts with my family, and provided an elegant backdrop for our first look and bridal party/family photos. Our ceremony location was picturesque- right on the bluff overlooking an offshoot of the Chesapeake Bay (the Elk River). There is a beautiful fountain surrounded by rock that served as an idyllic spot to host our cocktail hour. And on top of all that, there is a large, beautiful tent that is a permanent structure from April-November (no need to rent or worry about set up/take down) that sits on a permanent slab (no need to rent a dance floor or worry about soggy grass after a rainstorm) and can fit up to 300 people! Not to mention, they offer ceremony chairs, reception tables and chairs, and 2 beautiful bars (one wooden, and one made from two barrels) included in the price. On top of all of this, the venue is literally on a vineyard, so we were able to use their golf cart to sneak out briefly and take photos in the vineyard for a completely different look and location. Also, the staff was helpful and accommodating- we had initially planned our wedding for June 2020, and ended up postponing it twice due to COVID. Finally, I’d mention that they don’t have a contract with one specific catering group so you have a lot of flexibility to bring in whoever you prefer (we used Eleven Courses- also recommend!) and they allow pets on site so we were able to incorporate our pup in the wedding (recommend Furever and Fur Always for pet care/support). The Manor at Bohemia Overlook is such a gem- highly recommend it to any couples looking for an outdoor venue!

Fantastic experience with Bohemia Overlook! Everything ran smoothly and we were able to get in contact very quickly with any questions we had. Would highly recommend this venue to any couple!

Absolutely unreal! We had the best night of our lives thanks to this place. Everything about bohemia overlook is perfect, from the views, the friendly staff, the accommodations. We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding night a night we will never forget. I cant tell you how many of our guest came up to us saying how beautiful this place was. You will not regret having your wedding here!!

Bohemia Overlook was not only a breathtaking venue, but it’s staff members made our day run smoothly and kept us stress free! Our initial venue contact left shortly after we booked, but we were quickly matched up with Sydney who was a fantastic point of contact and answered all of our questions quickly. On the day of, we were greeted with a goodie bag of coozies and other thoughtful extras that were so nice. Guests have continued to tell us that Bohemia is one of the most beautiful wedding venues they have ever been to, and we feel so lucky to have had our big day here!

We had the perfect wedding on 5/21/21 at Bohemia Overlook! It is an absolute gorgeous venue that all of our guests couldn't stop complimenting and taking pictures of the endless views! Everyone we met at Bohemia was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, including the owner who was so hands-on and communicative. The wedding day went so smoothly and everyone had a blast! Thank you for such a beautiful venue for our magical day that we get to remember forever!! Love, Melinda & Zach Miller :)

Total ROBBERY! They stole our money and provided no refund when COVID lockdown happened. They refused to give even a dime out of good faith. Don’t ever do business with them!

We married at Bohemia Overlook August 2020 and it was an amazing venue! The staff took care of us from the first time we met. Denise is a very hands on owner and she is extremely approachable and accommodating. We would highly recommend Bohemia Overlook!

I knew Bohemia was going to be our venue as soon as we saw it. The beach location had absolutely everything I dreamed of, an outdoor wedding, white tent, water & vinyard backdrop (seriously, who gets BOTH?!), a dock, and a place for me and my girls to get ready. It is such a beautiful place and perfect for our day. The staff was all SO nice, and made the date change (hello, covid) so easy. Not to mention, the wine tasting was such a fun and special experience for us to share with our wedding party while planning. 10/10 recommend Bohemia!

Our daughter’s Tiny Wedding on Halloween 2020 was perfect. Held in the beach tent, we had plenty of room for our 25 guests to safely visit. Denise provided an arch and the bride, groom and friends decorated with fall flowers and gourds just before the ceremony. All vendors provided by Bohemia Overlook were professional and easy to work with. Denise really helped us celebrate a beautiful wedding with less than 3 weeks planning. Two hints: 1. If it’s going to be cold, ask Denise to rent a heater! 2. Buy their wines - they are delicious and were appreciated by our guests! Note: A Tiny Wedding is held in a beautiful riverfront tent that could hold 300 people! Included are hors de oeuvres, cake, bouquet, table setups, soft drinks, DJ, and ceremony area. Twenty- four guests, 2.5 hours - perfect for 💕 in the time of COVID.

My husband & I decided to have a tiny wedding since Covid messed up our big wedding plans at a different venue. The whole entire process was easy and so enjoyable. The venue itself is so beautiful and the staff was so awesome! Denise was a pleasure to work with and I don’t regret one thing about my wedding day.

Bohemia Overlook was absolutely amazing. The owner, Denise, was very attentive and accommodating to all of our requests. The staff were very helpful the day of the wedding and did everything they could to make it PERFECT. We are still receving compliments about how beautiful the venue is months after our wedding! I highly recommend Bohemia Overlook !

Very Professional Staff that will work with you and resolve any issues in a timely manner. Awesome Venue

We rented the barn venue at Bohemia Overlook for our daughter's sweet 16 and it was perfect. The room is beautiful which made decorating easy. The barn is spacious and we had plenty of room for buffet tables, photo booth, and dancing. Having the farm tables and chairs included in the venue package was so convenient. The tables are large and no one felt crowded and everything was set up and ready for us to use when we arrived. The staff was great and offered suggestions for decorating, photos, and a schedule of events. They were readily available the day of the event to help make sure things went smoothly. Ample time is provided for setup and cleanup.

Our daughter’s wedding was amazingly beautiful. The views, the tents, the vineyard, being on the water, and the perfectly manicured grounds all made for a perfect day. And the staff! What can I say about such an awesome staff! They were professional, so very helpful, and went above and beyond to make the day so special. And the bridal party was given a gorgeous beach house for the day to get ready, take pictures, and just relax. Another great bonus was the groom and his groomsmen also had a lovely house to relax, play games, and of course, get ready for the big moment. I couldn’t have imagined it could have been as beautiful as it turn out to be. I can’t recommend Bohemia Overlook enough!

Stunning venue with the most attentive and kind owner and staff! Bohemia Overlook gives you a little taste of everything...water views, winery, beach, rustic barn, historic mansion and elegant tent! You can not go wrong getting married at this one of a kind venue. We had the most amazing experience start to finish! Do not look any further once you have seen this property. Simply phenomenal experience all around.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!!!! Can’t say enough about the owners and staff! They went way beyond and made a most memorable event for 2020! And the venue is absolutely stunning!

Cost: $8,500 Our daughter's wedding and reception was held at Bohemia Overlook, at the Manor. They have 3 beautiful venues there, barn, beach or the Manor. When you pick this venue you have the entire day to get ready in one of the beautiful houses on the property, depending on what time and which venue you choose, we had the Manor which is a beautiful large white house, that looks like a mansion. They have a beautiful tent, for your reception that is a must see to understand how nice it is. The staff at Bohemia Overlook were so helpful with anything you needed the day of the wedding ,I highly recommend going to visit and see for yourself how beautiful this place is!

Could not have asked for a better day! We were married at the Manor venue in September and our guests could not stop raving about the beautiful views. My husband loved the Barracks and I loved having the manor house to get ready in with all my girls. The water views, manor house, fountain, and elegant tent made our wedding truly unique. We also loved being able to go into the vineyard and get photos. Bohemia's staff is responsive, helpful and wonderful to work with. We were so happy to have found Bohemia Overlook and couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue or day!

They are incredibly unorganized, rude, and do nothing to help you on your wedding day. From day one, there were issues. 1. Lost of deposit check: Okay, we loved the place, the walk-through was wonderful; I mail a check of the deposit (before COVID-19) with tracking and “It never arrived.” I told them the tracking says it was delivered. Nope, they do not have it. I have to drive up in person (take off work) and drop another check off the next day or lose our wedding day. Because they terrified me, I drove up and drop off the check. 2. Communication Terrible: I think over the nine months we planned our wedding, we emailed upward of five different people that often wanted the same documentation we sent to another person. “Oh, we did not get your DJ contract” we emailed it to Sandy on this date, “Oh well, email it to me to again". Then COVID hits, and their office is closed, so we again email the women that we had mainly been in contact with to see COVID planning and what their thoughts were. We hear nothing for about a month, then finally someone else emails us and says, “They let her go,” but there was no return emails or any forwarding when we had been emailing her over the past month! I understand times are hard but at least forward her emails to another person. 3. Walk-through: Met with Britney was wonderful; we asked for the ceremony chairs to be distanced, which they said was no problem. It was a lot of yes we can do that, of course, blah blah blah 4. DAY OF: This is where the story really turns. We were allowed to come to the Beach House at 10 am well; we get there, and it is locked. No one in the office, the number goes to voicemail. My mom in her car is driving around to try to track down someone to let us in. She finally finds a groundskeeper who let us in at 10:30, so now hair and makeup are running late. Then we look at the ceremony chairs, not distanced and soaking wet. The groundkeeper tells us they put them out Friday, and it had rained Friday night, but tells us the office staff will be in at noon to help us. In the house, we notice the windows and mirrors are dirty and various other concerns that point to the house NOT being cleaned. My photographers ended up cleaning the mirrors so we could take ‘getting ready pictures’ without fingerprints all over the mirrors. Noon rolls around; a staff member comes down and rudely tells me, “We are understaffed and have three weddings going on.” When asked about wiping down the chairs and social distancing of the chairs. She then tells me, “You need to accept it will rain on your wedding day.” When I asked her about our rain plan of moving the chairs, so they are not in pictures and also the volumes of water under the tent and around the ceremony site. Extremely rude and unnecessary to have that tone and conversation with the bride on her wedding day. Anyway, we ask for the golf cart to transport the wedding party to the ceremony site (under the tent), which she agreed. Well, ceremony time is about to start, and no golf cart, we had to call three times to get ahold of someone who finally came down to help the bridal party get to the ceremony site. 5. Additional comments: after the wedding, I found out that the caterer was the one to mop the floor under the tent, and my day of coordinator was wiping down the tent and chairs while Bohemia Overlook watched. I also found out that they were bad-mouthing me outside of the house, which my hair and makeup heard as they were leaving.

My daughter had the perfect wedding at The Bohemia Overlook! It was hard to decide between the 2 waterfront sites that the Bohemia Overlook has to offer but she had her reception at the Manor House. Originally, my daughter was going to get married in a church, but with the magnificent view from the bluff at the Manor House it was impossible not to have the ceremony there at the venue. The staff at the Bohemia Overlook was very detail oriented and demonstrated experience and expertise in every step in planning the perfect reception. All of our wedding guests were amazed and just "blown away" by the venue and the reception. I highly recommend the Bohemia Overlook!

Our experience at Bohemia was nothing short of amazing! My now husband and I got married on Sept 21 at the beach venue (because how can you pass up that view of the water?!). I arrived with my girls at 9am to enter the beach house, which I had the entire day. From the classy nautical decor, comfy atmosphere, and the beautiful view of the entire wedding venue, it was the perfect spot for my bridesmaids and I to get ready. My fiancé stayed in the Barracks house with his guys where they were welcomed with yard games, a ping pong table, and rustic “manly-man” decor. (Better yet, they were all able to shower in their industrial-looking bathrooms after playing yard games!). The ceremony was absolutely perfect, as well as the reception. The venue made for the most breathtaking photos (even our photographer was having fun with the shoot!). The owners of Bohemia even recommended most of our vendors to us, making for smooth, easy wedding planning. From start to finish, our wedding was a DREAM! Thank you Bohemia!!

We absolutely loved using Bohemia Overlook as our ceremony and reception venue! We used the Beach Venue because how can you beat a beach, vineyard and a beautiful white tent with twinkle lights all in one place?! The girls and I arrived a little before 8 am on site where the chairs for the receptions and ceremony were ready to be placed. They even had an arbor you can use as well as some grass games for your guests to play during cocktail hour (corn hole etc.). My husband and I were able to go in the vineyard and out on the pier for some of the most beautiful photos! The house on the property has everything you need to get ready in and is a great place to hang out. The team at Bohemia is very accommodating and friendly, I would recommend this venue in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a picturesque wedding!

My husband and I got married here on November 2nd and we can't say enough good things about this venue and the team that helps out! We LOVED working with Mrs. Denise, Eileen Keegan and Roy. They made our experience so enjoyable and made sure that we were well taken care of throughout the planning process as well as on the day of the wedding. The venue is absolutely stunning. We chose to get married in the barn because it fits our style and the photos from both ceremony and reception are incredible. They also have a charming little house for the ladies to get ready in during the day, and "The Barracks" for the gentlemen to hang out, play games, and get ready as well. Both houses were amazing, but the Barracks was really enjoyed by my husband and the men in the bridal party! If you're looking for a venue that is reasonably priced, BEAUTIFUL, and has great staff to help make your wedding day special - look no further!

Location, Location, Location!!! Wow, such beautiful venues there for weddings, family reunions, company events, etc. Can't wait to taste the wines from the vineyard in their wine tasting barn! We just had a wedding there for our daughter Melanie. Highly recommend it!

There could not be a more beautiful venue for a wedding. The manor house, the vineyard, and the views are simply breathtaking. I got married here in October and everything was just like we dreamed it would be. Everyone there is so accommodating and does everything they can to help make everything perfect. Highly recommend!❤️

This venue is an absolute dream. A year before our wedding we pulled up to Bohemia Overlook and before I even got out of the car I thought “This is what I’m talking about!”. We booked The Manor house that same day and couldnt have been more thankful we did. The staff was easy to work with, and the venue is just so gosh darn beautiful. Also- bonus points for having access to the venue for the whole day. I got to relax with my bridesmaids and get ready there while watching all the vendors arrive and make our wedding day come to life. Thanks Bohemia Overlook- wish I could relive that day a million times over!

We loved our experience with Bohemia Overlook. From our first tour with Eileen. Through our wedding working closely with Denise, Brittany, and Eileen to make our day beautiful and special. There are 3 distinctly different venues on this 152 acre property. We ultimately chose the "Manor House". It is a gorgeous home perfectly situated above the Bohemia River. It's generous size and natural lighting made it a perfect place for our large wedding party to prepare for the day. Our ceremony was held on the Bluff with stunning views of the Upper Chesapeake bay tributaries. A naturally beautiful and intimate space to begin our lives together. Our cocktail hour was situated around the fountains with a spectacular view. Easily accessible from the ceremony and reception tent. Our reception was held in the generously sized purpose built tent. Included in the rental a superior lighting package including chandelier, Chiavari and ceremony chairs, large round tables, rectangular tables for vendors and gift/cake displays and 2 bars. Another, very important feature, for us, was the level concrete floor pad making it a safe and accessible space for all our guests. We were even able to offer a wine tasting before the ceremony at the tasting rooms of the Blue Elk Winery. graciously hosted by Brittany and Eileen. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend Bohemia Overlook for your wedding.

If I could give Bohemia 10 stars I would! This venue was unbelievably, take your breath away beautiful! Everyone who works there are also amazing! They made everything so easy for me. The grounds were beautiful with lush trees and flowers everywhere. During the ceremony butterflies and bald eagle were flying around. It was truly spectacular! The tent, the fountain, the historical house were all so beautiful. Great places for pictures on the porch, by the swing, in front of the fountain, and by the water. This place truly made my wedding day extra special! I HIGHLY recommend getting married here.

We got married here just over two weeks ago in August at “The Manor” and we could not have asked for a more perfect day! This place is simply amazing. I cannot recommend Brittany & Denise highly enough. The communication was exceptional, everything was organized and planned to the very fine details. We had nothing to worry about. I could go on and on but for anyone who reads this feel free to message me and I will reassure you this place is everything you would want in a wedding venue.

I recently attended the Grand Opening of Bohemia River Overlook, and it was simply spectacular. I immediately knew this is where I was going to hold my wedding. I cannot wait until next September! ROUGE also did an amazing job with creating our menu and helping us every step of the way!!
