A Personal Welcome
Share
Your Vision
to Create
Your Legacy
A Tides Inn wedding is the culmination of a couple’s many long-held
dreams and family wishes. Each Tides Inn wedding is specially
personalized to make those dreams a reality. From the time of your
first visit, we will ask you to describe your dream wedding and the
special touches you have visualized since you were young. Then and
only then, we make recommendations to help you fulfill your vision.
I often liken a Tides Inn wedding to painting a picture. We start
with the backdrop of Carters Creek and slowly, layer by layer, add the
events, food, entertainment and people appropriate to bring your
wedding to life. The ensuing picture is unique and will reflect the best
of your ideas and the experience of our team.
From my perspective, I cherish every wedding as a part of my personal
portfolio of memories. Yes, you have guessed it. We love weddings and
enjoy every minute of the preparations and the execution.
Gordon Slatford, General Manager

Lancaster Lemonade - Our Signature Cocktail
Lancaster Lemonade was born on a snowy day in 2010 at the Tides Inn,
when TV Flynn, Food & Beverage Director, and Gordon Slatford, General
Manager, set about to create a perfect summer drink and signature cocktail.
Creating and tasting a potpourri of liquid delights well into the night, the
first day was a dismal failure. But refreshed and inspired by further overnight
snow, these two mixologists achieved success on January 15th. Now Lancaster
Lemonade has a faithful following in the Northern Neck and our guests are
introducing it to communities across the globe. The balancing of ingredients is
an art which is still being refined to this day. Here is our recipe:
1 Part Vodka
1 Part Limoncello
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
Add fresh Lemon Wheels and Ice
Fill with Ginger Ale
Garnish with Lemon Balm and a Lemon Wedge

My approach to producing excellent cuisine is simple…
Keep ingredients as local and as fresh as possible.

visit the area farmers to get the best seasonal produce,
and pick fresh herbs from our own kitchen garden.
I welcome you to come and taste the flavors of the Chesapeake Bay with us.
