Beyond the Day: Securing Your Exclusive Maryland Waterfront Wedding Venue Buyout

The Ultimate Chesapeake Bay Wedding

When planning a Maryland waterfront wedding, many couples dream of more than just a ceremony—they dream of an entire weekend celebration. At Sandaway Suites & Beach in historic Oxford, MD, we offer the ultimate in luxury, privacy, and intimacy with our Full Property Buyout option. This is your chance to transform our boutique estate into your private, exclusive resort for an unforgettable multi-day event on the Eastern Shore.

Forget sharing your special moments with strangers. With a Full Property Buyout, the entire venue—from the private beach to all eighteen luxury suites—is yours alone, guaranteeing a truly personalized celebration and zero wedding crashers.

What is a Full Property Buyout?

The Full Property Buyout is designed for larger celebrations (up to 150 guests) and those who require overnight accommodations for their wedding party and closest family. When you book a buyout, you secure exclusive use of the entire Sandaway property for your chosen duration (two-night minimum required).

This option is perfect for couples seeking:

• Complete Privacy: The entire 2.5-acre property is closed to the public and outside guests.

• Multi-Day Celebration: Host a rehearsal dinner, welcome party, wedding ceremony, reception, and farewell brunch all in one spectacular location.

• Traditional Receptions: The flexibility to host catered meals, elegant tented events, and dancing under the stars.

Exclusive Spaces for Your Wedding Weekend

The Full Property Buyout unlocks access to all three of our premier waterfront event spaces, giving you total flexibility for every part of your celebration:

• The Upper Waterfront Lawn: Ideal for a spectacular tented reception or elegant cocktail hour with endless views.

• The Private Beach & Lower Waterfront Lawn: The ultimate setting for a breathtaking ceremony with toes in the sand, offering an unobstructed backdrop of the Chesapeake Bay sunset.

• The Waterfront Garden Terrace: Perfect for a welcome party, rehearsal dinner, or a relaxed post-wedding brunch.

Overnight Luxury: All 18 Suites Are Yours

A key feature of the Buyout is the inclusion of all 18 beautifully appointed suites and cottages (accommodating up to 38 overnight guests). This allows your wedding party and family to stay on-site, turning your wedding day into a seamless destination weekend.

Your guests wake up to water views, enjoy the charm of Oxford, and are only steps away from the ceremony and reception. The convenience and shared memory-making elevate the entire wedding experience far beyond a single-day event.

Logistics and Flexibility for Your Large Celebration

Because the Full Property Buyout is designed for traditional, large-scale events, it offers the ultimate flexibility:

• Guest Capacity: The base package includes up to 100 guests. Larger celebrations of up to 150 guests are permitted with a small per-person venue fee.

• Music & Dancing: Receptions are permitted with music concluding at 9:00 PM, ensuring a lively yet respectful end to your evening.

• Vendor Freedom: We welcome your own licensed and insured vendors, though we are always happy to provide our curated list of Eastern Shore wedding professionals who know our property best.

• Inclement Weather Plan: We require all reception events on the Waterfront Lawn to include a tent rental, guaranteeing a beautiful ceremony and reception, rain or shine.
