So Many Places, So Little Time...

We visited our first potential reception site on Saturday, April 28th. The Cambridge Hyatt was absolutely beautiful. It has a lot of options for the ceremony, which can be held on the lawn near that 18th green or in the Breakwater Pavilion which is on the pier. The Cambridge Hyatt is basically a mini-destination wedding - it would be a mini-vacation for anyone. Click on the link to see pictures of our tour of the Hyatt.

On Saturday, May 5th, we went to see the Kent Manor Inn and Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. The Kent Manor Inn was gorgeous, and more intimate than the Cambridge Hyatt. Since they are not owned by a big corporation (like the Hyatt), it seems like they have the ability to be a little more flexible with the arrangements.

Like all the others we've looked at so far, the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club was wonderful. This place was a regular wedding factory. It overlooks the Bay and has a great view of the Bay Bridge. With up to 3 weddings going on at once, it could be a real party! I now understand why this place was chosen for the Today Show wedding! Unfortunately, this one might fall just above the budget, but it's always nice to dream. Click on the link below to see pictures of our tour.

We visited the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel on Monday, May 8th. While still near the water, this location definitely has a different atmosphere than the others. It was very nice though! See the link below for a couple pictures of our tour (the meeting was at 8am - too early for me to focus on taking pictures!).

Another Project Completed

This time it's a full-length mirror! I was not very good at taking pictures of the progress this time, but I have posted the pictures of the finished product below so everyone can see how well it turned out. I am quite impressed with Ryan's skills and am beginning to wonder if this was his true calling. For those of you reading this blog for wedding updates, I promise there will be more posts soon as we have started planning and are going to our first reception place this weekend!
