Annapolis Venue? (Paca Garden, Calvert House, Overlook Pavilion)

blondeintgeragrl

Hey girls - I am just starting to look at some venues online and was wondering if any one had more information and PICTURES of any of the following set up for a wedding - William Paca House? Calvert House? Overlook Pavilion at Port Annapolis Marina?The websites didn't have a whole lot so I just wnated to see them in more of a wedding spirit to see if it could be something I am interested in. Also, any other Annapolis reccomendations are welcome (probably not Chesapeake Bay Beach Club or Celebrations as every wedding I have atteneded in my circle of friends and fam has been at these locations)I was going to post this on the Annapolis board but it seems so slow there.

No pics but I have a friend who was married at Historic London Town Gardens in Edgewater and she loved it!

I just ran across Matapeake clubhouse over the bridge, looks like it would have to be a tent rental place but it has views of the bridge.  I found it on parks and recreation for Queen Anne's Co. I also went to a weeding at a marina in edgewater off of Bembe Beach Rd. had a beach, I can't remember the name of it though, the view was incredible, it was also a tented event.Good Luck

Thanks for the replies so far - I may post over in the Annapolis board - I know there has to be more people that have information.Anyone also do the Annapolis Marriott? I think the one on Bembe is Port Annapolis.

Here are my random thoughts on some of these venues--My photographer used to have pictures from the Paca House but he changed his website...so I'm sorry I can't show you them! I played a wedding there by the orangerie. It was beautiful but I didn't consider the site for my own wedding because a) the bridal party has a looong walk from the house to the garden (seriously, the bride was sweating) and b) it's not wheelchair accessible. Lots of gravel--that was fun moving a harp through; I can't even imagine a walker or a wheelchair, c) there are odd noise restrictions and it's a small space unless you want to put up a tent.I've seen weddings at Londontowne that were also gorgeous. I can't remember why we didn't end up looking there...maybe too many memories of field trips in elementary school.If Calvert House is what I think it is--on State Circle?--then it's pretty much totally indoors and not much different from any other hotel. We had a family function there and I wasn't very impressed. The Historic Annapolis venues also seemed very pricey.If you're looking in Annapolis and hotels are an option, the Westin is brand new and beautiful. We watched a reception being set up when it first opened and my grandma was very impressed.
