What people are saying
“The CBF Philip Merrill Environmental Center was our dream venue with stunning views of the Chesapeake, an expansive tented deck reception, and an honorable commitment to sustainable practices. We could not be more impressed with the staff as well as the venue itself. The preferred vendors were amazing and helped make our wedding day run smoothly, the use of the 31 acres of grounds resulted in some incredible pictures, and the use of both the indoor/outdoor components of the venue made our late October wedding day an all-around success. I would highly recommend the CBF venue to anyone looking to have an incredible wedding day on the Chesapeake Bay!”

“I loved this space from the moment I walked up the ramp and saw the waves through the glass doors and windows. The building is beautiful and it's eco-friendly designation was a big selling point for us. While looking for a venue I knew I wanted to be near water and there a lots of very pretty locations in Annapolis to get that but not of them really stood out to me. However, at CBF, there's something about walking through the tall open foyer and onto the spacious wooden deck to see the beautiful sparkling bay waters that just hits you differently. The venue is truly special because you're not just experiencing a life milestone there, you get to support an amazing organization that works to save those very waters and local natural areas.”
