Hosting Weddings and Family Gatherings Since the 1750s

First sited in the 1750s, the Bayly Estate was expanded in 1796 as a family compound by the Josiah Bayly family.

There are many beautiful homes on the Eastern Shore from this era, but none like this. Set on High Street, in the middle of Cambridge on what novelist James Michener called “one of the most beautiful streets in America,” the Bayly Estate has been hosting family gatherings for nearly three centuries.

We have now opened our homes and carefully manicured grounds on over one acre to help you celebrate the most important moments in your family’s history.

With seven bedrooms on-site and the ability to expand to 25+ rooms in the Historic District (to host principal families – the Hyatt Chesapeake Resort in town can accommodate another 300 guests), the Bayly Estate is perfectly set up to host your entire wedding weekend in style.

From the Rehearsal Dinner to your Wedding Day to the Farewell Brunch, we will happily arrange events throughout the weekend to please everyone and create an unforgettable experience for your friends, family, and you. Need any information about us please mail us : Brandt@noraleedc.com
