    The team at BWPI enabled us to have the wedding of a lifetime!

    From the first meeting and recommendations of vendors to the last day of our weekend we were 100% happy with the BWPI. Beautiful location, great team at the point and awesome vendors gave my daughter the wedding she always dreamed of.

    Absolutely magical!

    We had our wedding at Black Walnut Point Inn in June 2023, and it was absolutely perfect! The setting at BWPI provides such a serene and magical setting for a wedding. Being surrounded by water on 3 sides makes you feel like you’re in a beautiful dream and provides so many different backdrops for wedding related events and photographs. Though the weather was iffy, we lucked out with 2 days of insanely gorgeous sunsets that we got to enjoy with our friends and family. Bob and Tracey are so wonderful!! They’re fun and easy to be around, and they went above and beyond in helping with wedding related tasks. They were always on site and available to manage vendors and communicate with our families who stayed on site. During the planning process, they were always happy to answer questions, provide suggestions, and help us work with our vendors. During the whole wedding weekend, they worked tremendously hard to get everything set up and ready, and by the end of the wedding weekend they felt like family. Our wedding weekend with Bob and Tracy at Black Walnut Point Inn was something we will treasure forever, and we would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone (for a wedding or just a visit)!

    Best venue ever!

    Black Walnut Point Inn was the wedding venue of our dreams! Bob and Tracy, the owners, made our planning process so simple from beginning to end. They even coordinated a “Planning Day” for us to meet several local vendors in one day and begin the planning process. We absolutely loved that we were able to rent out the inn for the whole weekend, instead of just our wedding day. We had a very small wedding with 14 guests so our whole party was able to stay at the inn comfortably. Bob and Tracy helped us rehearse our ceremony and ensured we had everything we needed all weekend. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we’re so glad we booked Black Walnut Point Inn!

    Black Walnut Point Inn's reply:

    Thanks Erin! It was a delight to host your wedding, and the duo of guitars was perfect for your event! We hope to see you sometime soon!

    Obsessed is an understatement

    We had so so much fun with Bob & Tracy on our wedding weekend! The BWP Inn is so charming and the outdoor space is S T U N N I N G. All of our friends have the pics they took at sunset at our wedding as their profile pictures ha! Having easy to select vendors through them made our lives so much easier, they were present and helpful with whatever we needed throughout the day, taking care of everything before we even thought of things, and then they danced the night away with us! We just love them so much. You will not regret having your wedding weekend at BWPI!

    Absolutely AMAZING location and venue

    There is no better place to get married than Black Walnut Point Inn. Not only is the location itself magical and scenic, as you are surrounded by water with beautiful sunsets, but Bob and Tracy are incredible people who will help you craft the best day possible and who you will genuinely enjoy having at your wedding. Tracy officiated our wedding and brought the perfect amount of sentiment and humor to the ceremony. They truly make you feel like family while staying at Black Walnut and do everything in their power to make sure your weekend is amazing. Having the entire inn for the weekend was also wonderful. We loved being able to spend that time with the bridal party and family, and not have to rush to pack up and leave the venue after the wedding was over. This is a beautiful place to get married, made better by the wonderful people who run it! Can’t recommend it enough and can’t wait to visit again.

    Excellent customer service

    My fiance and I were looking at this as out venue for our wedding. The customer service and responsiveness to our questions was quick and friendly. This venue would have been a great choice if my fiance and I hadn't chosen to go with a destination wedding.

    Incredible Venue for Wedding Weekend

    We got married in April of 2022 at Black Walnut and could not have had a more wonderful time. Bob and Tracey, and their preferred vendors, made the entire experience stress free to allow us time to spend with our friends and family. The inn itself was perfect for our wedding party for the weekend and we couldn’t have asked for more. 100% recommend your wedding at BWPI

    Awesome Wedding Experience

    We held our wedding at the Black Walnut Point Inn in September 2019. Bob and Tracy were outstanding to work with and all of the vendors they recommended were excellent. Their help with wedding planning and on the wedding day made the experience low stress and perfect. All of our guests commented on the beauty of the surroundings and our family that stayed at the Inn had an awesome time. Thanks to Bob and Tracy for helping making our wedding day PERFECT! Rob & Cesar

    Black Walnut Point Inn's reply:

    Thank you Rob & Cesar! We loved having your wedding here! You and your guests were wonderful, and your story is one we won't forget. It was a beautiful weekend, and we were honored to have you and your families here on the point.

    Beyond Anything I Ever Imagined!

    As a bride who never thought she’d never get married, I had no idea what I wanted in a wedding. Bob and Tracey along with my hard-working mom, did an amazing job what the little I gave them. It doesn’t take much to make Black Walnut an incredible wedding site. From the flowers to the 360 degree water views, you cannot go wrong. It gives you a home away from home feel with the ability to put your own style wherever you choose. Bob and Tracey have created such a special getaway and take care of their guests like family.

    Small beautiful wedding

    Over the summer my now husband and I got married at the BWI. We had a beautiful weekend with the ability to have our closest family and friends staying with us. We had crabs Friday night in good Maryland fashion and then had wonderful day Saturday that began with Bob and Tracy making us a wonderful breakfast, we then relaxed in the hammocks and by the pool. As wedding time approached I was able to get ready with my closest friends upstairs in the house while my husband got ready in a cottage. The evening went off without a single problem, Bob and Tracy both made us feel at home and ever detail was covered. I am naturally very anxious but the weekend was coordinated so well that I was able to relax and just enjoy getting married. The scenery at the BWI is epic, water on 3 sides of the point and no other people in site. It truly was magical and I couldn't be more grateful for all of my venders for the work they put in!

    Best wedding venue ever!

    I can’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Black walnut point is on the most gorgeous property. Bob and Tracey are the best hosts and super helpful setting things up and giving vendor recommendations. If you are wanting to get married on the eastern shore this is the place to be

    Wonderful place and well worth it!

    Our wedding was near perfect. The monsoons that hit Maryland in summer 2018 did not dampen the spirits of our guests. In fact, we got lucky with the weather. Bob and Tracy were great. We'll always appreciate their abilities to help pull off a great event and we look forward to going back to visit.

    Black Walnut Point Inn's reply:

    Thank you David. You and PJ were great, and what wonderful fall weather! Thanks for creating such a unique day, and we look forward to your return.

    Perfect for Small Wedding

    We had an amazing wedding at Black Walnut Point Inn! Bob and Tracey made the process easy, supporting us each step along the way. The venue was rustic and gorgeous! Our pictures turned out amazing. We wouldn’t change a thing and plan to go back for our first anniversary.

    Perfect venue especially for sunsets.

    Black Walnut Point Inn is a dream wedding venue. Despite the week long heavy rain up until the day of our outdoor wedding it was absolutely perfect. We can't say enough great things about Bob and Tracy. From ALWAYS being there to help with planning, setting everything up from decorations to vendors and calming a worried bride down.
    As for the property and views for an outdoor wedding...WOW! Your surrounded by water. beautiful flowers, birds and trees. If your looking for a sunset wedding this is the place!
    Our guests were blown away. I had so many compliments and people had a BLAST.
    We love Black Walnut Point Inn for our wedding or anytime just to get away to visit, what feels like a little piece of heaven on earth. I would recommend to anyone.
    Thanks for an amazing experience, BWPI, Bob & Tracy!

    Black Walnut Point Inn's reply:

    Thanks for you kind words Julie! We miss you, so it's time for a winter visit. Say hi to Mike and the kids.

    The Black Walnut Point Inn was an absolutely amazing venue. I am an out-of-town bride, and I was only able to visit the venue (and MD period) once in person before the week of the wedding! It is pretty stressful planning a wedding from across the country, and Bob and Tracy were super helpful in the planning process, vendor selection, and in answering all of my questions, no matter how random. The venue itself is beautiful, we had an amazing ceremony out on the lawn, and enjoyed a lovely sunset during our dinner reception. But Bob and Tracy are what make this place 5 stars; they are warm, welcoming, helpful, and treated us and all of our guests like family. They took photos of the whole weekend, which I did not at all expect and was amazing of them, and presented us with a DVD of them all when we left. I highly recommend the BWPI for an outdoor wedding venue, or even for just a weekend getaway!

    Black Walnut Point Inn's reply:

    Thanks Sarah!
    It was a joy to have you here, and so glad to have you as part of the BWPI family. Come back whenever you make it back to this coast!

    We absolutely loved our wedding at Black Walnut Point Inn! We were married in October 2017 and everything was beautiful. Bob and Tracy are such wonderful people and were a joy to work with throughout the planning process and the weekend of the wedding. They truly did everything in their power to make the day so incredibly special for us-I wouldn't have changed a thing! We loved the venue so much that we decided to have the rehearsal dinner and a welcome s'more bonfire for guests the night before the wedding, which was a really fun way to get the party started. This location is a beautiful and romantic spot to host a low-key wedding weekend and a perfect way to get that secluded destination wedding vibe, for a fraction of the cost and wonderful hospitality!

    We had a wonderful experience with Bob and Tracy at the Black Walnut Point Inn. We had our wedding weekend there, with about 150 people and two events, one on Friday night and one on Saturday night. Bob and Tracy were amazing to work with from the beginning, responding quickly to my relentless emails and helping me troubleshoot things with vendors. Their advice was priceless and we had some much fun visiting the inn with our parents to do tastings and choosings, we knew we had made the right decision. The Friday night event had a few issues which did not affect our guests, but which I noticed, and Bob and Tracy took care of EVERYTHING before the wedding on Saturday, which was PERFECT in every way. They calmed me down and took care of our demanding families who were staying at the inn as well, which allowed us to kick back and enjoy ourselves. Our guests also enjoyed interacting with them and commented on how fun and helpful they were. There were a few items we wanted from our wedding that got misplaced, but they searched for them again and again during clean up and found a few of them, which was really above and beyond. The inn is truly a one of a kind venue and our guests were amazed by the natural beauty of the weddings backdrop.

    Using Black Walnut Point Inn as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions that we made! Bob and Tracy were great throughout the planning process and the weekend of our wedding. The grounds are beautiful, and so many guests said it was the most beautiful setting for a wedding that they've ever seen. I'd highly recommend using this venue!

    When we came to Black Walnut I already had another venue in mind, and then after looking over the grounds and speaking with Bob and Tracy I knew that we had fallen into a complete gem. From that moment of deciding to have our wedding at Black Walnut until the day of the wedding the least of my concerns were what most brides are worried about - all the vendors, issues with the venue, issues with food - I had none of those concerns. Bob and Tracy helped me with all my questions and we were able to put together an incredible day based on their experience and my unique requests. Also, the sight itself is pretty much as close to heaven as I can imagine on earth. Between the beautiful Inn, surrounding land, Pier and incredible flowers that Debbie from Swan Cove provided - it was just heavenly! My guests were raving about the site, how I found it, and how beautiful the wedding and rehearsal dinner. Also, in terms of costs we were able to buy our own liquor and work with Henry to find a fantastic bar tender. Further the food from Henry for both the wedding and rehearsal dinner was just incredible. My uncle from Boston was raving about the fish! That says alot. Overall, I felt better than I could have ever imagined the day of my wedding and the day after we were just sad it was over. We will miss working with Bob and Tracy and will definitely be back to stay at the Inn now as husband and wife and reminisce about our incredible life experience and more to come at Black Walnut Point Inn!

    This was the perfect place for my small family wedding. We had a total of 15 people for our wedding. We wanted to spend the weekend with the people who mean the most to us and bring our families together. BWPI was awesome for this. We stayed from Thursday through Sunday and our guests loved it! Pool party, BBQ and then the wedding itself. Bob and Tracy are awesome and were so helpful when the weather got questionable. This location made for perfect pictures and lasting memories. I was so sad to leave! Can't wait to go back for another weekend!

    Bob and Tracy at the Black Walnut Point Inn (BWPI) was an absolute blessing. When I started looking at different venues for my wedding, I was crushed at how expensive it was just to book a location so I considered the possibility of renting a house. Which ended up being a terrible idea since I would be looking at peak summer prices and it was going to cost an arm and a leg just just for the location. We ended up finding the BWPI by accident; my obsessive Google searches recommended it randomly and the rest was history.

    We had our rehearsal dinner (which really was just a bbq) and ceremony/reception at the inn. Believe me when I say that it was everything we could have wanted and more. The location is gorgeous; the inn sits at literally the end of Tilghman Island, about 30 mins past St Michaels.

    Bob and Tracy. We really can't say enough about them. They were so helpful and so welcoming from the very beginning. Without their help, we wouldn't have been as stress free and we couldn't have enjoyed our rehearsal dinner, let alone our wedding day.

    If you're looking for a place, don't look anywhere else. You've found it.

    From the first time we reached out to Bob and Tracy until we packed up our car following an incredible weekend, they have been nothing but incredible to work with. We visited them several times during our planning process and they were always super helpful. We are convinced there is no other place that would have hosted us as successfully as they did. The Blackwalnut Point Inn is a beautiful venue (flowers, beautiful views, hammocks, fire pit, etc). We had the place for the weekend so we could spend more time with our international guests and everyone commented on how amazing the property was. We love the privacy of the venue and the ability to have a long, loud, and fun party until whatever time. You have so much flexibility to do whatever you can think of when working with Bob and Tracy. On top of their amazing service, they will quickly become family. You will spend your meetings and time with them laughing so hard and eating delicious breakfasts. It is hard to say enough good things about them and the venue. 5/5 isn't high enough of rating!
