Wedding Party

Our wedding will be semi-formal, and we kindly ask that guests dress in attire that feels polished and celebratory. For women, we suggest longer dresses, elegant midi styles, or a chic jumpsuit. For men, a suit or dress pants with a jacket and button-down shirt is perfect (ties are welcome but not required).Since we’ll be celebrating in June, lighter fabrics and summer-inspired colors are encouraged. Pastels, soft florals, or vibrant seasonal hues will look beautiful against the backdrop of a Maryland summer. We kindly ask that guests avoid wearing white to ensure the bride stands out on her special day.

Q + A

Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is the closest major airport for guests traveling in for the wedding, offering numerous domestic and international flight options. Located about 45–50 miles from Chesapeake Bay Beach Club on Kent Island, the drive typically takes around 40–45 minutes, depending on traffic. It’s an easy and convenient option for out-of-town guests joining us on the Eastern Shore.

Travel

Wander the charming, walkable streets of Annapolis filled with waterfront views, sailboats cruising through “Ego Alley,” cute boutiques, and amazing seafood spots. Explore history at the Maryland State House or stroll the grounds of the U.S. Naval Academy — and be sure to stop by The Cottage, a sweet local shop where the Bride worked for many years. Finish with a drink by the harbor and soak up the coastal vibes!

Downtown Annapolis

Escape to this 340-acre waterfront park for shady trails, scenic Chesapeake Bay views, and perfect picnic spots. Rent a kayak, stroll the art-lined paths, or just relax under the trees — it’s an easy, breezy summer reset during the wedding weekend.

Quiet Waters Park

Catch a lively outdoor show under the stars at this charming open-air theater in the heart of downtown. Bring a drink, enjoy the summer breeze, and soak up a little Broadway magic — Annapolis style!

Hop aboard for a harbor cruise or sunset sail and see Annapolis the best way possible — from the water! Feel the breeze, snap pics of the sailboats in “Ego Alley,” and toast to wedding weekend with Chesapeake Bay views all around.
