We had our wedding in the ballroom. Very scenic and beautiful venue! Overall a pretty good venue that includes food, tables, chairs, linens, etc. The ballroom house itself is beautiful with lots of light indoors due to the large windows, and a nice deck for an outside ceremony. Zoe communicated with us and answered all our questions and did our tasting and planning, until a week before the actual day where we were assigned a day of coordinator. I found this system to be not great, since the day of coordinator was essentially a stranger that you've never talked to at all, and you basically have to re explain everything you want. Even though they have an online planning tool (which is old and outdated), I found that they got our aisle directions wrong, the reception layout wrong, and our dinner meals were wrong. Thankfully, we had a separate planner that was able to correct these things, so I recommend getting an outside coordinator that works directly with you if you have room in the budget. Another thing was our limited setup time of 1.5 hours meaning the florist and other vendors couldn't set up earlier with more elaborate decorations and had to do something simple. I found out that this is because they had another wedding at the same place before ours (literally ending at 4) and so they rush to get the place cleaned for the evening wedding. The main room and the suit was renovated, but the bathrooms were all still dingy and not the best/cleanest to use. The food was good though, better than we had at our tasting and they got it out fast. Our vendors were fed the same food, and our guests thought it was pretty good wedding food. Apart from the couple hiccups we had, we thought the venue was great overall and really beautiful and we don't regret having our wedding there at all. It could be a little bit better in the small details for the price though.

We have been working with [and for] Castle Farm since the beginning. We did the first wedding ever there! Every year they add something new and there are tons of places for pictures! The owners are great people and are extremely accommodating to everyone! You can have a beer pony, horses in your portraits and the guests truly love the interaction!

Ocean Pines Yacht Club 

5.0

Ocean Pines, MD

Situated on the Isle of Wight Bay, the Ocean Pines Yacht Club features a spacious second-story ballroom with hardwood floors, separate groom and bridal suites, a private bar, and stunning view of the Ocean City skyline. The large outdoor patio is perfect for waterfront ceremonies.

The Ocean Pines Yacht Club made my dream wedding come true. Lia was a true rockstar! The staff was professional and attentive. The food and drink was great. The bridal suite was perfect for my girls and I to get ready. The only nit-picking thing I would say was that the filet mignon temperatures were very uneven. Yet, one person told me that the crabcake was the best they ever had.
