    Beautiful venue

    Location, location. Such a beautiful setting, particularly for the ceremony. The gazebo is nice and the background is beautiful, requiring minimal additional decor.

    We had a great experiment with every staff and club member we met. Everyone seemed genuinely invested in making sure we had the best day.

    Chantelle, the events manager, was patient, kind, and very hard working. She even pulled through on some details I missed.

    The reception space comes with some decor: white chair covers, ceiling drapery, ceiling fairy lights, etc.

    One caveat: the event planning management changed after we booked. They were great about it, honoring our original agreement. But I do believe the venue cost has increased.

    Wonderful Experience

    We were looking for a place on the water to have a very small wedding and reception. Bill and his staff made us feel as important as a large wedding party. They accommodated all of our needs and exceeded our expectations. The staff was so attentive and the food was delicious! We had a beautiful ceremony under their new gazebo followed by a fun reception in the hall. Highly recommend this venue.

    My wife and I were married here on 9/22/18. It was a fantastic wedding! All our guests just raved about the views and how beautiful the Yacht club is. Bill and his staff were nothing but accommodating. The food was awesome and a good deal. I gave my wife the wedding she has always wanted. Definitely consider this venue for your wedding. It will be a smooth process.

    My husband and I chose the Maryland Yacht Club for our May 2, 2015 wedding because we wanted a waterfront, "beachy" type venue that was close to home (Northern VA) as well as close to an airport (BWI) for our out-of-town guests. We got that and so much more at the MYC.

    We worked closely with Joe, the manager, as well as Felicia, the event coordinator, throughout the planning process. Both were very responsive to phone calls and emails, and were willing to meet with us in person at any time to answer any and all of our questions (we had a lot!). Joe and Felicia offered their advice and opinions based on their experience and expertise, but always wanted to make sure we were happy and getting what we wanted.

    The yacht club itself is gorgeous. The ceremony was at a waterfront gazebo overlooking two bodies of water and quaint little houses across the way. We took pictures at a little sandy spot down by the water (our "beach") and bridal party pictures and first look were on a dock surrounded by boats. Many guests commented on how beautiful our venue was, and we could not agree more!

    On our big day, Joe and Felicia were there to make sure that everything went as planned and on schedule. The only thing we had to do was be present! Everything else was taken care of - communicating with vendors, assisting the Reverend with the ceremony, making sure there was enough food at the buffet tables, even shuffling me off the dance floor because it was time to cut the cake! They made sure everything was in order so that my husband and I could have the best night of our lives - and we did! We would highly recommend the MYC for any special event.

    *If you have an afternoon/evening wedding, make sure to get the photographer to take pictures by the water during the sunset. We got some of our best shots there!*

    Let me just say, that Carole and her team have got your back!

    It rained the day of my wedding, and she had her team outside wiping down all the chairs and even sweeping water off the walkways and such.

    The food and beverages were amazing and delicious! Carole really outdid herself and I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator!

    Thank you Carole and MDYC, you made my wedding perfect!!!!

    The Maryland Yacht Club was a wonderful place and nice people that you work with during the whole planning process. Carole made the whole planning so much easier for me. The day of the wedding I couldn't picture it any better. I wish i could give the Maryland Yacht Club 10 stars it was amazing!!!

    I am not one to take the time to place a review but this one is well worth it. We had such a wonderful experience with Maryland Yacht club. From the beginning, Carole helped us to plan our event by being so quick to respond to all the questions we had, whether silly ones or really important ones. She was always willing to be flexible with special requests which made the event even that much more special. One the day of the wedding we were treated with patience and respect. As my daughter in law stated, "it was a magical day" and that was in part to the Maryland Yacht club and of course the other part was she was marrying my son :)

    Carole really went out of her way to make sure our wedding day was exactly how we wanted it. She even made it possible for me to give my groom a "Make Your Own Sundae" table! The prices were VERY affordable here, and the staff was excellent! Everything from the planning to discussions to our actual wedding was made simple because of the flexibility and willingness of Carole and the Yacht Club. The food was incredible as well. I HIGHLY recommend this venue for any get together or party! Thank you for making our wedding such a success!

    Thanks to Carole and the entire staff at the Maryland Yacht Club for making our wedding a dream come true! From the beautiful views, to the food and beautifully dressed club house, not one thing was overlooked. Every detail was perfect and Carole was amazing to work with. Carole and her staff made our wedding day magical and memorable and I truly thank them for all their hard work!
    I sincerely recommend this venue for all brides and grooms to be who are planning their wedding. If you want a romantic venue, with beautifully painted skies, and gorgeous views, this is the place!

    The moment we saw the MYC we knew this was where we wanted to get married, then we met Carole, the coordinator, she sealed the deal! Not only does it sit beautifully on the water, it has a quiet soft way about it. Ten when you go inside, the yacht club is just the right size where you feel like you really get to enjoy our guests and yourself. It's got a great layout, an awesome length bar, which to me is important so your guests aren't fighting for space while trying to get drinks, a cozy fireplace with lounging area for those who don't want to dance but still are a part of the party, and two outdoor patios. The food is outstanding, the service is great and the price for it all is awesome! Carole is such a huge asset to have as a bride, i can't believe all that she does to keep organized and set up. Her help and services alone are priceless. This place is a gem!

    We had a perfect wedding thanks to this venue. Carole was more than fantastic! She always made me feel like we were her number one. She is on top of it and so warm-hearted. Such a kind person, so wanting for your special day to be perfect. Also- the food- AWESOME!!! All of my guests commented on how delicious the food was. Carole was more than accommodating throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding (although it was VERY rainy) she was so calm, happy and gave us the wedding of our dreams. Thank you Carole. We had the time of our lives :-)

    I had really wanted to get married by the water, but couldn't find anywhere that was nice and reasonably priced. As soon as I saw the Maryland Yacht Club I knew that I wanted to have our wedding there and once I saw that packages that they offered, I knew that it was workable. It is beautiful inside and out. We were married out by the water and had the reception inside. The views are gorgeous! Carol is so kind and was extremely helpful! She was always available to answer our questions and had so many great suggestions. I never felt like our wedding was a big sale that she was trying to land like some of the other venues we had visited. Carol really just cared that we had a great wedding. And we did have a GREAT wedding! Everything was perfect and the food was delicious! My only complaint would be that it got quite hot during the reception, but it was July and a lot of people were up and dancing. Carol did assure me that the air was running full blast. I would HIGHLY recommend the Maryland Yacht Club to brides. It is an amazing place.!

    Carole Suser and the staff at the Maryland Yacht Club provided outstanding service and made the day of the event very relaxing and enjoyable. During the time of the wedding planning to the actual event, Carole kept in touch to find out if the original plans were still okay or if any changes were going to be needed. From menu selection to interior and exterior decoration and event setup, the staff was very accommodating.
    Correspondence via e-mail or telephone was timely and very adequate. The timeframe established for the event preparation was very reasonable and worked out extremely well.
    The Maryland Yacht Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. From their location and service provided, friendly and professional staff and cost, without a doubt a very good choice.

    Wonderful to work with this vendor. Kind, responsive and the added bonus of having the rehearsal dinner at the same venue. Made it so easy. Very flexible with our unique ideas.

    My bride and I had a fantastic experience with Carole Suser, the manager of the Maryland Yacht Club. We ended up meeting with Carole on about five or six different occasions before the wedding day, including sitting down with both sets of parents. She was very quick to respond to each of our phone calls or emails, even on days when she wasn't in the office. Carole was tremendously flexible with us even up to a few days before the event, including adding a menu item and making a few last-minute changes to the seating chart. Throughout the entire process, her warm smile made us feel like we were working with a family friend as opposed to a wedding vendor.

    Not only was Carole fantastic, but the Yacht Club itself is wonderful. Seated between two bodies of water, the club's wide windows provide for gorgeous picturesque views which were an incredible value for the price to rent the room. To top that off, a waterside gazebo served as a great setting to take bridal party and wedding couple photos. The Club more than adequately accommodated our 140 guests, with plenty of room to spare. While it is a yacht club, it had much more of a casual, fun feel to the ambiance than the uppity, pretentious air sometimes associated with such establishments. The large dance floor ensured that our guests enjoyed every moment of the festivities.

    While some places with such a great setting would skimp on the food, this was not the case at Maryland Yacht Club. Our selection of four appetizers, three buffet-style entrees and three sides were all expertly prepared to perfection. We sat down with Carole three months before the event to ensure that each item was cooked to our tastes, but no corrections were needed because the flavors blew us away. We would highly, highly recommend the crab cakes; some of the best in the state!

    Our wedding ceremony was originally suppose to take place outside, but due to rain the location had to be changed at the last minute. The Event Manager (Carol) was able to adapt to the situation and the Ceremony set-up was absolutely beautiful. The food was great and we were able to have a wide variety of options for a buffet with the amount of money that we paid. Carol was also extremely helpful during the entire planning process when it came to linen selection, menu choices, fluctuating guests counts, and table set-up. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody getting married in the area.....good pricing, great service, and a gorgeous view of the ocean!

    We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Maryland Yacht Club. Carole, the event coordinator, is amazing and really made our day run as smooth as possible. Throughout the year planning process, Carole was quick to answer emails and answer all my questions. A few days before the wedding, we had a final meeting and she took extensive notes as to how I wanted every detail to look, and the day of the wedding everything was in place and looked lovely!
    The only complaint/disappointment was that the room the bridal party was given to stay in before and after the ceremony was extremely hot. It seemed as if no air conditioning was on. This was, unfortunately, the room where my flowers were waiting for my arrival, and they were half dead and starting to brown by the time I arrive before the ceremony.

    Carole was wonderful to work with. She answered our calls and emails promptly. WE had more guests than expected and her staff quickly prepared extra tables, including table decorations. Our family was just remarking that we would like to do the day all over again. We had a great time! The only suggestion I would make is to have two servers at the pasta station to make the line move quicker. Thanks Carole for a great event.

    Carole Suser was very nice and helpful, which was not always easy as we weren't the most conventional of couples. The ceremony and reception couldn't have gone smoother.
