The Signature
Weekend Wedding

​Time to be present. Space to celebrate.

You’re planning one of the biggest, most meaningful decisions of your life—so let’s not squeeze it into just one day.

A weekend wedding at Island View gives you the space to breathe, connect, and really enjoy your time with the people who matter most. You're not just planning a wedding day—you’re gathering your people for a once-in-a-lifetime weekend.

Here’s how some couples spend a Signature Weekend on the waterfront:

Friday 

Roll in, settle down, soak it up.

 

You arrive with your crew, the Chesapeake breeze in the air, and your checklist in hand (don’t worry—it’s short). The afternoon is for hugs, unloading décor, checking off those last-minute details—and watching sailboats float past your rehearsal dinner like it was written into the script. Maybe there’s pizza on the porch, maybe a low-key dinner under the trees. Either way, it’s all starting to feel real.

Saturday

Your day, your way.

Morning light on the water, coffee in hand, and a few deep breaths before the buzz begins. Whether you're barefoot in the grove or dancing in heels under the lights, today is about celebrating your love—and actually enjoying it. From your first look to your last dance, the whole day is yours. No rushing. No flipping spaces. Just celebration.

Sunday

Goodbyes that don’t feel rushed.

 

One last gathering—maybe coffee and pastries, maybe a slow moment by the water. You laugh, rehash the dance floor, and finally finish the conversations you started two days ago. It’s the soft landing every great party deserves.

Why a Weekend Wedding?

Because rushing isn’t the vibe.
Because the moments before and after the ceremony matter too.
Because you deserve a weekend that feels like home and adventure all at once.

This is the time you didn’t know you needed.
A weekend wedding isn’t just convenient—it’s transformational.
It gives you the freedom to focus on what really matters: being present, feeling every moment, and making memories that feel like you.

My daughter and her husband had their wedding ceremony at Island View and it not only was a beautiful ceremony, with the bay in the background, but the service was excellent! Everyone bent over backwards to make the wedding special and a memorable event!
