If I could give 10 starts I would!!! I can't recommend using catering by uptown enough. From the first visit and meeting with Anne, to the end of our wedding, CBU was top notch! We had to reschedule and replan through the COVID pandemic. I heard horror stories about other venues who were not working with couples, and really leaving them in the dark. This was the exact oppostie of what we experienced. They took time to answer all of my questions, worked with me on the guest list and changes and found a new date that worked for us. When I say it was perfect- our day truly was perfect. Cassidy was the absolute best planner, and day of coordinator EVER... seriously EVER!!! She and the whole staff were so helpful supportive and they ran the show! Look no further- you have found your perfect wedding venue- I can't thank the whole team at Catering by Uptown enough, especially Anne and Cassidy (who I worked with the most). You made our day the best ever! Love you all- thank you for EVERYTHING!!!! -

My daughters wedding
This place did a fantastic job with my daughter’s wedding. Everyone was so accommodating. It’s such a beautiful venue and the value you get is much more than any other venue. It was so nice that they provided a wedding planner and coordinator to help us.
So much is included in the price unlike other venues and the food was amazing!!! All of my guests said that it was the best food and that the venue was beautiful. I wanted my daughter to have the best wedding day and she did because Celebrations at the Bay did a fantastic job!! Highly recommend!! -

I don't know how we got so lucky in being assigned Aimee as our Catering Supervisor at our wedding at Knollview House. She not only was responsive, kind, thoughtful, professional, highly experienced and knowledgeable at her job, she saved the day many times over. Whether it was helping the DJ get a signal for his music, hemming my gown so that I wouldn't trip over it during our First Dance, gathering everyone together at the end of the wedding for our sparkler send-off, or creatively finding a way to get my grandson's corsage to stay affixed to his shirt, she was invaluable to helping our wedding become the most wonderful day of our lives and a most memorable day for our guests. We will not soon forget her. We highly, happily, and without hesitation recommend her and Knollview House as the best ever place to have a wedding in the area. -

I experienced the fairytale wedding of my dreams at Celebrations at the Bay. My account manager, Esther helped me stay on track, during the planning. The food was excellent, and my Day-of Coordinator, Verinica was like my fairy godmother in my fairytale. She went out of her way to make sure the timing, decor, and execution of everything that day was perfection. My guests have been reaching out to me and I was told, "that lady that was running the show had everything running like a well oiled machine." I didn't have a care in the world on that day because Ms. Veronica and her team executed with the highest degree of professionalism, coordination, and courtesy I've ever seen, and it was sprinkled with fairy dust to top it all off! The entire experience was so worth what we spent and I will recommend Celebrations to absolutely EVERYONE I know with upcoming weddings! -

Celebrations from the day we started looking for venues has been nothing but accommodating and top tier service. Our wedding was gorgeous, food was amazing, and all of the staff friendly. I can not say enough good things about this venue!! We had the best day ever, and we can’t thank you all at Celebrations enough!! -

Best Day Ever!
We got married in the Chesapeake Ballroom at Celebrations At The Bay in April. From the initial consultation to the the minute we packed up and left the venue, everything went super smoothly! Everybody was so helpful and the day was flawless! Mother Nature helped provide us with a beautiful evening for our outdoor ceremony. The setting on the water was perfect. Our day of coordinator was great. The apps were all amazing and the crab cake was worthy of being called a “Maryland style crab cake”. We really believe we had the best day ever and are super thankful for everyone that helped us along the way! -

How to top perfection on our special day
From start to finish my wife and I were walked through and thoroughly explained all of the nuances that I’m sure most every couple have to navigate for their wedding day. Each member of staff, from the food and beverage crew, day of coordinator and our event planner were so helpful, receptive and accommodating to our thoughts and ideas. Delicious food and drinks in a beautiful setting! We really felt like the entire process was seamless and well worth every penny. -

Georgia K. Sent on 11/11/2022The perfect venue and catering!
Celebrations at the bay was the best choice we could have made for our venue and catering. We got married at the Knollview house and Celebrations catered our cake, food, they even took care of our center pieces. They made are day so amazing!! The team was so kind and helpful for anything we needed. They made sure to bring us a plate of food while we were taking pictures so we could take a moment to enjoy the food that we picked for the starters and run us more of the ones we liked. This also came with a day of coordinator and she was incredible! She brought champaign the the getting ready room for the girls while we waited and worked with my MOH to get any last minute things taken care of before the ceremony started. Then after the ceremony she brought my husband and I a special drink to toast our happy moment together and it made the moment even more special! The food was by far the best! All our guest have made a note to tell us how great the food was! I would recommend them to everyone! -

First of all, the location of the venue is gorgeous. It sits right on the water and has a temperature controled ballroom tent that is beautiful. I choose Celebrations at the Bay because it was a turn-key experience. They handled the catering, alcohol, cake, linens, etc. This meant that I had fewer vendors to coordinate and manage. Breanna was the first person we met and she spend the time giving us a tour, answering our questions and ultimately letting us know which dates were available. Once the contract was signed, Ya-Maila worked with me on the planning. She did an excellent job with the tastings and everything was arranged exactly how I wanted it the day of wedding. On the day of the wedding, Veronica nailed every detail! She had champagne chilling for me and my bridal party when I arrived, helped me relax (as I was experiencing a headache) and ensured that everything went off without a hitch! She kept us on schedule and meal service was perfect (ensuring special meals were at the right place setting). She even noticed that my husband and I didn't have a chance to eat so she packed up our food in a to-go box. I can't speak highly enough of this venue and the staff. They are incredibly capable and very experienced which meant my husband and I could just enjoy the day! -

Dream Wedding Became Reality
My Husband and I said our "I Do's" on 6/11/2022, in the Chesapeake Ball Room at 11am. Catering by Uptown/Celebrations at the Bay was the 1st and only venue we looked at, from the fantastic value for your money including décor, cake, catering etc., to the breathtaking water view, I cried and we knew this was the place. Stephanie, our day of coordinator. I can't say enough great things about her. Meeting the day before to go over everything, and what happens if its pouring rain? Remember I said 11am start time, it was raining all morning, so I text Stephanie at 7am and said lets move the ceremony inside, she responded right away with no problem and got it done! Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality! -

We loved our experience with Celebrations at the Bay. Everyone was always so responsive for all the questions we had, and worked with us to make our wedding unique. Our venue was the tent in Pasadena and it offered the best options of indoor and outdoor. The beauty of a tent with the convenience of a sturdy dance floor and weather protection (though the weather was perfect). We also loved the all-inclusiveness - it really took the stress out of wedding planning. And we are still getting compliments about the food! Rosa was an amazing coordinator! She made sure everything went smoothly and went above and beyond, like adding extra flowers we had to our cake to make it extra special. We loved our wedding day here! -

My husband and I chose the Tented Ballroom side of Celebrations for our wedding ceremony and reception. It is an absolutely gorgeous venue on the water with beautiful views. From start to finish Celebration and Catering by Uptown was so helpful and accommodating. Every update and change I had, they quickly made to our plan. They made sure we had the drinks and food we wanted. They made the year of planning extremely easy and fun.
The peak of my work with Celebrations was when I met our day of coordinator, Amy. She was THE best coordinator we could have ever asked for our wedding. She was so on top of things, so organized, and so calm. I told her how I wanting things ran and the details of my decor and she made sure everything was set up perfectly and the day ran smoothly. I am someone who is type A planner, who double checks everything, and trusts very few people to do their job properly. Two minutes into talking with Amy, I knew I would not have to worry about anything anymore. I got to 100% enjoy my entire wedding without worry - something I never thought was acheivable. I highly recommend Celebrations by the Bay and Catering by Uptown. I only hope I can somehow get to use them in the future because one day was not enough. -

Celebrations at the Bay was absolutely perfect for my big day! I needed an all inclusive venue since I didn’t have time to look for my vendors individually. They made all of my dreams come true and then some. Ya-Maila was so helpful along the way and made the planning process so easy and Chelsea was an amazing day of coordinator. Even when things were running behind due to guests not showing up on time, Chelsea kept everything flowing smoothly and made sure there was still plenty of time for dancing! I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! -
