Your wedding, your way.

Casual? Totally.
Elevated? You bet.

Picture this: your ceremony by the water, surrounded by your closest people, with a view that makes everything feel just right.
Then, relax and celebrate the night with a laid back & delicious dinner, laughing and dancing as the sun sets.

The best of both worlds - because why choose?

What if your wedding felt like you - not a production?

No rigid rules. No pressure to perform.

Just your dogs by your side, a motorcycle grand entrance (because that’s all he asked for), and vows with a view.

They didn’t settle for a one size fits all day. They made it theirs ♥️

This is where beautiful meets laid back. Where elegance doesn’t mean uptight.

Your wedding, your way? We’re here for it. 🫶🏼

Planning a Baltimore wedding is like putting together a puzzle—each piece plays a role in creating the big picture.

As the venue manager at Island View Waterfront, I’ve worked with all kinds of couples, from the ultra-organized planners to those who just want to show up and enjoy the day.

One of the biggest questions I get is: What vendors do I actually need for my wedding?

When you book your wedding at Island View, you’ll have instant access to extensive Resource & Vendor Guides. We’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to!

Read the blog to find out list of vendors you will hire for your wedding - https://www.islandviewwaterfrontevents.net/post/the-ultimate-guide-to-baltimore-wedding-vendors-who-you-really-need

💫STORY.
Every great business starts with one. Ours began in 1968 when Grandpop Laing decided he wanted to retire and run a bar & marina on the Chesapeake Bay.

🌟WHY
For decades, we’ve welcomed families, friends, and adventurers to celebrate life’s best moments on the Chesapeake Bay.

♥️PURPOSE
To create a space where love, laughter, and memories come alive — just like they have for three generations (and counting).

🌊Built on history. Rooted in family. Inspired by you.

From dance hall in the 1920s to tavern and marina in the 60s-90s, and a waterfront destination now, Island View has always been about people, connection, and joy.

Our family story sets the stage for your love story - and we can’t wait to celebrate you 💕

What’s your story? Let’s make it unforgettable ♥️
