chesapeake conference center

Words can not describe our wedding at the Chesapeake Conference Center. With a tight budget and a small wedding Linda put together a package for us that literally saves us thousands. The staff was very kind and professional, the food was exquisite, and the location was beautiful. My recommendation - if you choose the Chesapeake Conference Center try to get married around the Christmas Holiday. The decorations are gorgeous and it will save you additional money so you don't have to decorate yourself.

The conference center was really nice. The room was set up well and all the linens/china/etc was as per contract. One drawback was they did not allow outside food except for the cake and the chocolate fountain. I really wanted sushi and they best they could do was make it the day before. I wanted a person there making it and they said they couldn't do that, so we went without sushi. They were able to substitute the menu for me; however, to add traditional dishes like pirogies.

I was shocked to find three days before my wedding, the coordinator "quit" out of the blue. I do not believe this to be 100% true. She was very professional and loved her job. She was hard to get in touch with sometimes because she was so busy, but she would always call me back. Anyway, the person who called was discussing the contract with me, from the first contract! A, at least, three month old contract. To say the least, it was very stressful.

We were in the grand room in front of the rotunda. It was very grand and beautiful. The food was good, not exceptional. Service was great.

I would, however, highly recommend the conference center.

I liked the fact they they didn't nickel and dime me like a lot of other venues were going to do. Really the only thing we had to pay for were the dinners and everything else was included.
