From the reviews
gorgeous venue! off the water. my husband and I attended a wedding here it was small, intimate and amazing for photos and a good time. The space inside was quite large! good for a cocktail hour and a reception with a gorgeous view overlooking the water!
I had my wedding at Anchor Inn and it was amazing; better than I could have ever imagined it! My Husband and I chose Anchor Inn as our venue because they provided so much!
We had our wedding at the Anchor Inn and it was an incredible experience. From start to finish, the team was communicative and extremely helpful. Due to the venue including a lot of the most crucial items, as a bride I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders!
My family and attended a wedding recently at Anchor Inn in Maryland. I was Amazon at the venue and the service we received. The outside wedding area was nice and the reception was great. The staff members was very attentive to everyone's needs.
Getting married at Anchor Inn
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
