Planning Your Wedding Menu

The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club offers an exceptional culinary experience for our waterfront weddings. Our catering team, led by Executive Chef Charles Keck, offers formal and informal menu selections to reflect each couple’s individual preferences. After booking a venue, couples receive a packet of menu items including beverage services, butler passed and action station hors d’oeuvres, plated appetizers, plated entrees, desserts and “Happily Ever After” late night snacks.

The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club requires couples to spend a minimum per person which varies based on season, day of the week and package style. This minimum is designed to ensure there will be enough food and beverage selections to satisfy all guests throughout the entire event. We strongly encourage couples to choose 6 to 9 hors d’oeuvres per guest, a plated entrée and a bar package as the starting point for creating their wedding menu. The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club understands that some guests may have dietary restrictions and that specialty meals may be required. We always offer a vegan or vegetarian meal option at no additional cost for guests that require them. Children’s meals are also available.

Our wedding menu options allow couples to make their wedding menu unique and personal. They can offer guests refreshing welcome drinks, including Refreshing Flavor-Infused Waters, Lemonade and Infused Lemonades, and Fresh Brewed Iced Tea. Couples can personalize their bar options with a signature cocktail, or offer guests special bar services, including a bourbon bar, coffee and tea bar, and table side wine service. To enhance the dining experience, couples can add plated individual appetizers to be served before dinner, and dessert options, such as truffles, parfaits and ice cream, to be served alongside wedding cake. The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club also offers a “Happily Ever After” menu to give couples the option to serve late night snacks, such as cheeseburger sliders and boardwalk fries, at the end of the evening. This is the perfect way to send guests off after a night of fun and dancing.

Our extensive wedding packet can be overwhelming. To assist our couples with selecting their menu options, we invite all couples to a tasting event. The tasting event is held in all three waterfront ballrooms and serves a variety of appetizers, cocktails, wine, entrees and desserts to give couples the opportunity to sample our menu offerings and interact with our banquet staff. Note: CBBC may change this format due to Covid-19 to ensure the safety of our guests.

The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club is renowned for our excellent cuisine. Couples can rest assured that no menu option is the wrong option. Our wedding coordinators always offer assistance in helping couples easily choose the perfect wedding menu to ensure a variety of cuisine, personalization and enough food and beverages to satisfy the guests. We are always ecstatic to help our couples plan their weddings and choose a menu guests will be talking about for years to come.
