Silver Swan Bayside

We had our daughters wedding here and it is a beautiful venue. Staff was professional, courteous and friendly. They went overboard to accommodate our requests. THe chef was outstanding and most of all the bride and groom were thrilled. We would choose it again.

I had my wedding reception here in April and it was amazing! The staff is great, the location is perfect, and I still have guests raving about the food! The did so much work so that my wife and I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. We told them what we wanted and they did exactly as we asked, it was perfect. They even included any kind of cake we wanted. We did the traditional top two tiers for the cake, then the rest was a mix of different flavors of cupcakes. We were told later that not many cupcakes were left because people just kept grabbing them, they were that good. The food was plentiful and they created the menu just for us. The location on the Chesapeake was great for outdoor games and such. We brought our own cornhole and bocce ball sets, and people really enjoyed it. The only reason that we are not giving it 5 stars, was because there was a couple of times the people that we were working with changed. It was a little frustrating having to go over again what we had already discussed with others and correcting things that had previously been worked out, but in the end, they wanted to make sure they had all the information correct. Overall, a great experience. I’m not sure what it is like to do a wedding here, but I highly recommend doing a reception at this location.

I attended a friend’s wedding here this August and I must say I was incredibly impressed with the venue. The location is so beautiful, very romantic and peaceful. The food and setting was really good, staff was professional and attentive. We had an amazing time at the wedding and are already considering this location for a birthday party next year, if we can gather enough people for the event. Awesome water front venue!!!

I came here with my fiancé to get information for a wedding ceremony. We meet with Katie Marrow so far he been great with emails and when we met everything was great. I will update my review later on but so far everything seen going good.

From the time I signed our contract, to the wedding date, I had nothing but trouble to deal with.
They went through three different chefs, three different wedding coordinators in about a year.
Two months out, I hadn’t heard from anyone, so I emailed my coordinator only to find she’d been fired, and her replacement (the owner) never bothered to reach out to me.
They tried to make changes to my contract, rushed us out after the reception and we didn’t get to take all of our decorations.
A rental truck was delivering linens 20 minutes before my ceremony, completely blocking the small parking area, leaving no direction for my arriving guests to go.
There weren’t enough tables, and when a bridesmaid pointed out that it didn’t match the seating chart, they threw a hissy fit when they had to change it.
Decorations that were dropped off the day before were not hung, despite it being written in my contract.
We were charged for two bartenders and only received one, as well as eight waiter, and only had four.
To top it off, the coordinator didn’t start our ceremony on time, let cocktail hour go to nearly two hours, and showed the venue to prospective clients during my ceremony and reception.
The coordinator called to yell, yes yell at me because of the pricing the chef gave me for our menu. I repeatedly told her this was an issue and conversation that she should be having with her staff, not the client. She just kept yelling that it was too cheap, despite her being at the tasting, and being well aware of my exact budget.
The icing on the cake… I spent three weeks requesting a final balance due. At 4:00pm on the Friday of Labor Day weekend, they gave me the balance with the option of paying cash, money order, or certified check. Did I mention I’m from California, and have an out of state bank?
Yes, my wedding was beautiful, but only due planning on my part, as well as my awesome bridesmaids noting issues and correcting them before they got out of hand. Run brides. There are plenty of superior water front venues out there.

I had the pleasure of getting married here exactly one year ago. We drove by today, on our anniversary, to check it out and it made me think to look them up on Unilocal.It saddens me that the only review is from someone who wasn’t a customer… and from the sounds of it, hasn’t even seen it in person.
In my experience the food was amazing… The view was spectacular… Overall, the evening was perfect.
At times, the wedding planner seemed frazzled and stretched thin, but this got better over time, as she hired assistants.
Regardless, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful waterfront venue.
