An October Wedding on the Water

When Erin and Ed began planning their wedding, they knew they wanted something relaxed, scenic, and full of character. Their dream came true on a cozy October weekend at The Oaks Waterfront Inn in Easton, Maryland—a hidden gem nestled on the Eastern Shore.

Erin and Ed exchanged vows at a nearby church before hopping in a private trolley headed for The Oaks. We arrived to a beautifully curated ballroom with elegant upgrades. Outside, guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the dock overlooking the Miles River.

One of the most special moments of the day was when Erin and Ed slipped away for a private sunset cruise on the Miles River. Just the two of them with champagne in hand, they watched the sky light up. It gave them a quiet moment to soak in the joy of the day.

Back at the Inn, the celebration continued in the ballroom. With candlelight, seasonal florals, and thoughtful details, the space was warm and inviting. Guests laughed, danced, and enjoyed a night full of love and great food before retreating to the charming waterfront cottages.

For Erin and Ed, their Oaks Waterfront wedding was more than just a reception space. It was a full weekend experience, beautifully curated by the attentive team at The Oaks. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s equal parts scenic and full of charm, Erin and Ed’s celebration shows just how perfect The Oaks Waterfront Inn can be.
