With its tranquil waterfront setting on Navy Point—overlooking the beautiful Miles River and beyond—the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is a setting unlike any other.

A nationally recognized institution dedicated to preserving the heritage of the Chesapeake, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum brings the warm and casually elegant hospitality of the Eastern Shore of Maryland to each special occasion. Set on a private eighteen-acre campus with over 2,000 feet of waterfront in the village of St. Michaels, the Museum offers spectacular sunset views of the Bay, unique venues, and first-class event co-ordination to complement every occasion.

For a perfect summer's eve party, the newly renovated Steamboat Building provides indoor and outdoor facilities, including a deck overlooking Foggs Landing. It is ideal for weddings and receptions for up to 100 guests. This venue includes a private entrance and close proximity to parking for your guests.

For an outdoor event, the upper and lower outdoor decks of the new At Play on the Bay exhibit building at the end of Navy Point offers the best panoramic views of the Miles River. These elegant outdoor waterfront venues are perfect for cocktail receptions with a guest list of 150. The number of guests can be considerably expanded to 400 by erecting a tent adjacent to the exhibit building for dining and dancing. Several of the Museum's historic sailing vessels, skipjacks and bugeyes, are moored nearby and add to the romantic ambiance of this setting.

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is ready to host your wedding rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and/or reception with only the finest of Chesapeake Bay traditions and in a spectacular setting overlooking one of America's most beautiful estuaries.
