Washington DC Wedding Venues
Looking for someplace special for your wedding? Something with much more than the usual Washington DC wedding venues can offer? Take a closer look at the Silver Swan Bayside, where you can create the perfect celebration on the shores of the sparkling Chesapeake Bay. We’re minutes from Baltimore, Washington D.C. and Annapolis, yet a world away from Beltway crowds.
Our spectacular beach-side location makes ours one of the most sought-after outdoor wedding venues in Maryland and a fresh alternative to conventional Washington DC wedding locations. We’re located at the Queen Anne Marina on beautiful Kent Island in Maryland. We can accommodate up to 230 guests for a cocktail-themed event or up to 200 for a seated wedding reception.
Here, both indoor and outdoor weddings offer stunning panoramic views. Our elegant gardens, grassy lawns and boardwalk overlooking the beach are all perfect for a scenic and memorable outdoor celebration. Our elegant dining room opens through French doors to beautiful tented patios that keep things shady in warm weather and dry during light rain. Indoors, a cozy fireplace make even a wintertime ceremony comfortable and intimate as your guests look out over the Bay.
If your vision of an Eastern Shore wedding includes outdoor recreation before and after the celebration, Kent Island offers everything you and your guests could want, away from the crowds and traffic of DC or Annapolis. Some of the East Coast’s best sailing, leisurely kayaking, bird watching and hiking, and superb fishing are all close at hand for you, your family and guests to enjoy. Kent Island is the perfect place to begin your life together and return year after year to revisit happy memories.
With our professional team handling the details on-site, everything about your Eastern Shore wedding can be stress-free – from the food and beverages to the linens and décor, we can take care of every detail.
And while Washington DC wedding venues can mean extra headaches from parking to traffic to exorbitant pricing, the Silver Swan Bayside lets you and your guests relax and enjoy every minute of your special day or weekend. We’re surrounded by a vibrant historic community with an enduring relationship to the waters. With bay breezes in summer, warm sunshine in spring, and brilliant autumn colors – Kent Island is a place where the outdoors shine all year around and where wedding memories are as beautiful as the Bay itself.
If you’ve looked at other reception halls in Maryland, overpriced Washington DC wedding locations, and the usual Annapolis wedding venues, you won’t find any place to compare with the Silver Swan for the celebration of a lifetime.
And weddings are just the beginning. Silver Swan Bayside hosts a full range of gatherings, meetings and receptions, including corporate events Washington DC, Annapolis and Baltimore businesses rave about.
