Ocean City, Maryland Beach Vow Renewals: Say “I Still Do” with Barefoot Bride Weddings
There’s something timeless and deeply romantic about standing hand in hand with your forever person, the sound of waves behind you, and the soft breeze of the Atlantic brushing against your skin. Whether it’s been five years or fifty, a vow renewal on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland is a beautiful way to celebrate your love story — and create new memories in the place where the sea meets the soul.
Why Renew Your Vows?
A vow renewal isn’t just about revisiting your wedding day — it’s about celebrating everything that’s come after it.
The laughter, the milestones, the challenges overcome, and the life built together.
Some couples choose to renew their vows after major life chapters — a milestone anniversary, the arrival of children or grandchildren, or simply a moment of reflection and gratitude. Others do it to reconnect, recommit, and remind themselves of the promise that started it all.
Whatever your reason, a vow renewal says, “I’d choose you all over again.”

When to Plan Your Vow Renewal
Timing is everything when it comes to a beach ceremony.
The best time of day for a vow renewal in Ocean City is 1–2 hours before sunset, when the light is soft and golden.
Spring (April–June) brings warm breezes and lighter crowds.
Summer (July–August) offers perfect beach weather — but evening ceremonies are best to avoid the heat.
Fall (September–October) is a local favorite: comfortable temps, gorgeous sunsets, and quieter beaches.
Pro tip: Fridays and Saturdays at sunset fill up fast, so booking early ensures your dream time slot.
Making It Personal
Every vow renewal should reflect your love story. Here are a few ideas our couples have loved:
Rewrite your vows to include what life and love have taught you since your wedding day.
Include your children or grandchildren — have them read, walk with you, or participate in a sand unity ceremony.
Add a touch of nostalgia by incorporating your original wedding colors or songs.
Bring a photographer to capture family portraits and couple shots at sunset.
You can keep it simple — barefoot in the sand — or add a touch of elegance with florals, candlelight, and a dinner reception at our Coastal 59 Venue overlooking the bay.
Celebrate After “I Still Do”
After your beachfront ceremony, enjoy a private dinner or cocktail reception at Coastal 59, our exclusive bayside venue just steps away from the beach.
Whether you prefer a casual BBQ dinner, a taco bar, or a coastal-inspired plated menu, our culinary partners will help create the perfect meal to toast your years together. Add a custom cake from Cake Art by Susan, and you’ll have all the ingredients for a sweet ending to a beautiful day.

Your renewal deserves to be remembered just as beautifully as your original wedding.
Our in-house photographers capture candid emotion, timeless portraits, and those quiet, in-between moments — like the way you still look at each other after all these years.
Expect your full gallery within 4–6 weeks, with sneak peeks often shared within a few days.
