Your Wedding Should Feel Like
a Weekend With
Your Favorite People.
Not a day spent watching the clock.
Not a whirlwind of hellos, photos, and goodbyes.
A whole weekend to celebrate, reconnect, laugh a little louder, and make the kind of memories you wish you could bottle up.
That's the Island View experience.
A Waterfront Setting That's Entirely Yours.
Tucked at the end of a private peninsula on the Chesapeake Bay, Island View is a place to bring everyone together without feeling like you're sharing the experience with the rest of the world.
From waterfront ceremonies and tented celebrations to cocktails on the deck and quiet moments by the shoreline, the property gives your wedding room to take shape.
And for the weekend, it's all yours.
