Real Wedding Inspiration: Nautical Details

The DMV is home to countless gorgeous venues to host your wedding on the water. Whether you choose Maryland's Eastern Shore on the Chesapeake Bay or a spot along the banks of the Potomac River, the views will be stunning and a treat for your guests. A few of our favorite venues on the water: The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club, The Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and Brittland Manor.
