September 26, 2026Wedding Parade
They serenaded us from Acqua 2 on Main Street to the Market House for a welcome reception. So many of our guests were from out of town and were in awe of the band. But, many local Annapolitans who were also there thought it was such a great idea and it was so much fun. We also loved watching people on the street clap and cheer us on! Hands-down, a must have for an Annapolis event.
