Bohemia Overlook—your event destination
Part of our commitment to you is making your day go as smoothly as possible; in doing, we have included some of our most frequently asked questions to ensure that you understand what to expect.
While we have office hours, we keep a flexible schedule to accommodate our guests. Please contact us to schedule an appointment to visit the property to ensure we can devote our full attention to you.
Your tour is the perfect opportunity to see all of your options and all we have to offer here at Bohemia Overlook in a relaxed environment. We don’t believe in high pressuring such a huge decision here!
When you arrive at Bohemia Overlook for your scheduled tour, please follow the signs to the Office and park in the roundabout out front. We will meet you inside—but be sure to dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes! Most of our time will be spent outside touring the grounds and exploring the wealth of options Bohemia Overlook’s three venues provide.
Availability depends on which venue you love the most, which day of the week you prefer, and what season you book for. While Saturdays during peak season usually book one year or more in advance, if your date is flexible we always have wonderful options and even awesome promotions still available for the current year too!
Absolutely! Most couples here at Bohemia Overlook enjoy the convenience and beauty of an onsite ceremony. Included in your venue package for no extra fee, we provide ceremony chairs, choice of one of our custom built ceremony arches, plus ceremony set up and take down by our staff.
You have the freedom to select any vendors to bring your wedding vision to life—except for catering, which must be chosen from our carefully curated list of approved caterers. Our list features trusted professionals, offering a variety of styles, budgets, and cuisines. Each caterer has been thoroughly vetted to ensure exceptional taste, service, and reliability, so your wedding day is as seamless and delicious as possible. We’re happy to assist you in selecting the caterer that best fits your needs.
Additionally, a Day-Of Coordinator is required for all events and must be approved by our team. This ensures your celebration runs smoothly and every detail is flawlessly executed.
You are provided access to the grounds for a one-hour Rehearsal before your event. Rehearsals are scheduled Monday through Thursday (with limited Friday availability) and must end by 5pm. There are no extra fees—your rehearsal time is already included!
If you are looking for a full-service restaurant for your rehearsal dinner, we are happy to recommend several local favorites. In North East, consider Steak & Main, Woody’s, Wellwood, or Unwined. In Chesapeake City, options include The Chesapeake Inn and Schafer’s Canal House.
Your walkthrough takes place about one month before your event and is an essential step in bringing your wedding vision to life. During this meeting, you, your planner or Day-Of Coordinator, and your caterer will join our team on-site to review the floor plan, finalize your guest count, and discuss all the important details for your big day.
Because coordinating schedules with vendors can sometimes be challenging, we recommend scheduling your walkthrough as early as possible—typically 2–3 months before your wedding—to ensure a smooth and thorough planning experience.
You can access our property at the start of your contracted event time only.
You are given one hour after your event for clean up, décor take down, and vendor load out. You must complete clean up before your contracted time expires. What goes up, must come down and you are responsible for your own items and décor.
Of course! We encourage all our guests to celebrate responsibly. All cars must be removed from the property next day, at the agreed upon time discussed during your walkthrough.

Yes! Your furbaby is welcome to take part in your special day. We can recommend excellent wedding day dog care services as well– we want to ensure all guests have fun, especially the cute furry ones!
