The Christian Royer House was the best venue for my wedding! What Michelle & Jerry offer for their couples goes above and beyond anything else I've seen offered by other wedding venues & owners. They provide decorations, ceremony centerpieces, two separate floors for the bridal party to get ready, a honeymoon cabin, and a detailed planner with tips and tricks to help you plan a wedding according to their venue. The venue is gorgeous and the fountain in the background made the ceremony so peaceful and romantic. We absolutely loved how our wedding turned out and the support Michelle & Jerry gave us was so helpful! Booking them was the best decision we made during the wedding process and highly recommend 100%!

AMAZING! Just amazing job done by Colt and his team. I was panicking when I got to the venue because hair and makeup ran an hour over, he assured me we were fine and we’d have plenty of time. He kept us on schedule for the ceremony and reception and just was there every second. Once we got into the reception he brought my husband and I ice packs and put them in the back of our shirt/dress. He made sure we got food, drinks, etc. Colt is amazing. The venue is BEAUTIFUL! Everyone told me how amazing the venue was and the food was so good. The cake was absolutely amazing. The DJ was amazing! We had the best time. I can’t recommend Jordan Springs Estate enough. You won’t be disappointed.

My daughter and her husband chose Milton Ridge for their wedding venue. I live on the opposite coast so I had no opportunity to have a look myself. She and her husband were very happy with the layout of the property and the location. She assured me that staff were warm and friendly as well as very professional and that all questions were addressed promptly and in great detail. My daughter and her husband felt listened to and respected by everyone at Milton Ridge. I was anxious but it was their wedding and they had done a lot of research! I am overjoyed that they chose Milton Ridge for their very special day!! I spoke to many guests and family members that day and evening; everyone had high praise for the couple’s choice of venue. The property is self-contained with a beautiful turn of the century chapel on the lower level of the property and a very large bricked patio on the upper level; with an enormous wooden gazebo at one end and tiered garden area at the opposite end. Indoor or outdoor wedding?? Hard to choose as both areas are sooooo lovely. The Bridal suite and Grooms quarter are in a building adjacent to the chapel on the lower level of the property. Another turn of the century building with Bridal suite, porch and porch swing on the ground level and the Grooms quarters on the 2nd level via a private enclosed stairway; providing total privacy for both parties and their respective entourages. Both areas were very well appointed, comfortable and large; plenty of room for multiple people in each area to get ready for the big day! The Reception Hall was on the upper level with a porch and short stairway leading from the hall to the outdoor patio. The Hall was fresh and bright with plenty of room for DJ, tables, dance floor, bar and buffet without feeling overfilled or crowded. Bride and Groom chose the bar-b-que menu for their dinner; it was beautifully presented, delicious and plentiful. No one left Milton Ridge hungry that evening! The wait staff and bartenders were all very attentive and had obviously been very well trained at table service and bar service respectively. Music was provided by a DJ who was contracted by Milton Ridge and was included with the package that my daughter and her husband had chosen. The selection was a mix of old and new with the focus of getting the guests up and dancing. He was very good at his job and he accomplished his goal! Last but definitely not least; the photographer; also contracted with Milton Ridge! He was amazing!!! The unique shots, quality and beauty of his work left us speechless. He was everywhere, but never in the way, always inconspicuous and watching for that perfect candid shot. Even his posed photos had a very relaxed casual look about them. All photos were organized and available to the newlyweds on the Milton Ridge website within 10days of their wedding day!! ALL pictures belong to her and her husband to print, copy and share with whoever they wish!! Milton Ridge exceeded my expectation and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone!!

Finding this venue felt like discovering a hidden gem. 9030 Rockland Estates is tucked away in the most peaceful, picturesque spot — it truly felt like a dream once we found it through lots of searching online. When we booked in 2023, the venue was still fairly new, but after our first walk-through, we instantly fell in love. The ceremony site was breathtaking, and even though the deck and a few other spaces were still being developed at the time, we could already see the incredible potential. Over nearly two years of planning, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Amanda (the owner) and later Kaitlyn, the event coordinator. Both of them were amazing — incredibly responsive, warm, and supportive. Amanda especially went above and beyond, answering every question (no matter how small) with patience and enthusiasm. Her joyful spirit shines through in everything she does. As a former bride herself, she truly understands what couples need and has built that perspective into her venue experience. One of the best things about 9030 is the flexibility it offers. You get access to the property from Thursday through Sunday, which makes all the difference — especially for DIY brides or anyone without a big setup crew. Having time for rehearsal, setup, and cleanup without feeling rushed was a huge blessing. Amanda also later opened the on-site house for couples, families, and wedding parties to stay in, which made our weekend so much easier and more enjoyable. Being able to get ready right there, change after the ceremony, and simply relax without worrying about transportation was incredible. The venue itself has everything a couple could want — beautiful indoor bathrooms, a spacious bridal suite, a groom’s suite, and stunning natural backdrops everywhere you look. Amanda keeps improving and adding thoughtful touches all the time. She allows couples to bring their own vendors and alcohol (with a licensed bartender), which gave us so much flexibility to personalize our day. About 10 days before the wedding, Amanda informed us that the venue could no longer do fireworks in-house, but she quickly helped us find a licensed vendor and handled all the logistics. The show turned out to be spectacular — truly the best way to end a magical night. It rained on our wedding day, which initially broke my heart since I had dreamed of that outdoor ceremony site from the moment I saw it. But Amanda and her team transformed the tent space so beautifully that I ended up loving it even more. The way the florals, colors, and lighting came together created the most romantic atmosphere imaginable. Everyone is still raving about how gorgeous it was! Yes, there were minor hiccups — mostly due to me underestimating how the rain plan would affect seating with our large bridal party — but overall, everything was seamless and stunning. Amanda’s flexibility, kindness, and understanding made all the difference. If I could do it all over again (which I won’t, because I married my forever!), I’d 110% book 9030 Rockland Estates again — maybe just earlier in September to skip the rain! This venue, and the people behind it, made our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. We feel so lucky and grateful to have celebrated such a special day in such a beautiful place.

Willowood is such a stunning event space. The interior design and landscaping are so thoughtful and intentional—it’s clear how much care went into creating it. I especially love the old barn. There’s truly nothing else like it, and the way it’s been lovingly restored is incredible. They managed to honor the history of the property while also giving it a modern, fresh feel that works beautifully for today’s events. Everywhere you look, the rolling hills and gorgeous scenery make for the perfect backdrop. There are so many spots across the property that can be used in different ways, whether it’s for weddings, family reunions, retreats, or anything in between.

Bowling Brook Mansion is incredible! This is a truly special venue. We offer our strongest possible recommendation, and our earnest thanks, to Debbie and her staff for making our wedding day more beautiful than we had ever imagined. The venue itself is gorgeous. The mansion is colorful and picturesque; the indoors are classy but not cluttered; the grounds are sprawling and luscious. We held our ceremony in a gorgeous, decorated, wooded grove, and took photos throughout the surrounding farmlands. We were very happy with the amount of space our guests had available to roam and mingle inside and outside the mansion. The ballroom was spacious, and with a cool summer evening, we were able to open an outdoor patio/tent area for guests to socialize. Also, when the evening wound down, we went to the roofdeck with close family and friends for a late afterparty under the stars—a gorgeous night in the countryside! Debbie and her staff are amazing. We can’t say enough about Debbie herself. She treated us like a member of her family, not just another customer. She was also easy to reach and easy to talk to throughout the planning process. She worked to understand our needs and sincerely respected our vision for our wedding, making several accommodations for our plans—such as permitting us to select off-list vendors, working with our family’s arrival time needs, and allowing us to stay in the honeymoon suite before the wedding. On our wedding day, she stayed on top of managing the vendors so that we could focus on enjoying ourselves. We owe a special thanks to Debbie’s staff for helping out in the aftermath of a hurricane. During the week before our wedding, the remnants of a tropical storm swept through Maryland. We were very worried that we would have to commit to an indoor ceremony, but the storm cleared late on Friday night, and Saturday was temperate and picturesque. Debbie and her staff arrived early Saturday morning and worked very hard to get the mansion and the grounds ready. Their hard work made our wedding day everything we wanted it to be. Thanks again to Debbie and her team. If you’re getting married in Maryland, we earnestly encourage you to consider Bowling Brook! (Photo Credit: Tom Bennett Photography)

I honestly can't say enough amazing things about The Antrim 1844 Hotel! We had the most incredible wedding experience here, and I'm so grateful we found this gem. We actually heard about Antrim from a coworker whose family had their wedding there last spring. It wasn't even on our radar before that, but now I can't imagine our wedding taking place anywhere else! During our planning process, we got to see so many different weddings they were hosting, and I was blown away by their unique ability to make everything from small intimate gatherings to expansive celebrations not just work, but work beautifully! They really know how to adapt to each couple's vision. Working with Jill was such a joy! She made the entire planning process feel effortless and actually fun. She was so flexible with all our changes and took the time to walk us through backup plans for weather, which gave us such peace of mind knowing we were covered no matter what. We got lucky with lovely weather and got married in their rose garden, and oh my goodness - it was so breathtakingly gorgeous that we barely needed to add any decorations! The natural beauty spoke for itself and created the most romantic, dreamy backdrop for our vows. Having so many family members and friends traveling to join us, the wedding weekend stay option was a game-changer! The complimentary breakfast for overnight guests was such a thoughtful touch - it meant everyone could wake up together and start each day without any stress about finding food. It really made the whole wedding weekend feel like one big family celebration. The bridal suite in the main mansion was absolutely perfect for getting ready! There was space for our entire wedding party plus my mom and friends to get ready together, and it provided the most beautiful backdrop for photos. We got so many stunning getting-ready shots in that gorgeous space! The food was absolutely delicious - both during our tasting and on the big day! Our guests are still raving about it. The team worked so seamlessly with all our other vendors too, making sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. We were thrilled about the veterans discount, which let us add some extra special touches like a dessert bar, upgraded appetizers, and shade canopies for the ceremony. They made it so easy to customize everything within our budget. Every single guest has told us what an amazing time they had, and we're already excited to come back for anniversaries! We've heard their holiday decorations are absolutely spectacular, so we're definitely planning a winter visit. If you're looking for a venue that combines stunning natural beauty, incredible service, amazing food, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day perfect, The Antrim 1844 Hotel is IT. We couldn't have asked for a more magical place to start our life together!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are searching for somewhere to have the perfect outdoor wedding, look no further than Comus Farm. Lauren and Kara truly pulled out all the stops to make our wedding day unforgettable! In 2023, my husband and I were looking for wedding venues: we were very specifically looking for someplace that would not require a lot of decoration work, since we were planning the whole event ourselves. As soon as my husband and I arrived at Comus Farm, I said “this is it, I want to book this place.” The farm is located in pleasant countryside, and the farm itself has a very beautiful entrance through trees and sunny fields: many of our guests commented on how this made the drive from the off-site ceremony to the reception at the farm very enjoyable. We toured the rose garden, outdoor dining and dancing pavilions, and the large barn, all of which are airy and open, making it feel very welcoming. The farmhouse Airbnb was spacious, clean, and well decorated. Lauren and Kara were both so kind, and they provided a lot of information with us in our first meeting: we signed the contract about a week after seeing the place. Lauren and Kara used AislePlanner to help us get going with our wedding planning. The website is easy to use, and the provided checklist covered literally every single tiny detail you could possibly need to consider for the planning journey. I was especially pleased with the seating chart map, it made it so easy for us to track guest meals, stage table set up, and communicate special requests. It also prints out the layout really nicely if you need to send it to your catering company. Our wedding party stayed at the farmhouse Airbnb the night before and after the wedding. Everyone had a really fantastic time, there was more than enough space for the girls to get ready in the AM, and the food provided was delicious! During the reception, my grandparents enjoyed their dinner in the kitchen so they could get some quiet time and rest, but they were still close enough to the wedding so they could say hello to the guests and listen to the speeches happening in the dinner pavilion. I also cannot say enough about how much we appreciated Lauren and Kara’s thoughtfulness throughout the planning process and on the day. They patiently answered so many of our questions, and they allowed us to come by three separate times to see the farm and meet with our vendors. They coordinated the vendors without a hitch, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding. Kara drove the two of us and our photographer out to more remote areas on the farm to get some portrait shots. Lauren coordinated some fun photos with the alpacas, which was a lot of fun! Comus Farm is truly a beautiful spot to have a wedding, complete with a team that made our day perfectly stress-free. I’ll definitely be looking for any other reason to book with them in the future :)

On the day of the wedding, Leah and the rest of the staff were there all day to help with anything we needed! They helped setup all the decor and even helped cleaned up afterwards.

We had our wedding here last month, and we were blown away beyond expectations! Nicholas was our first point of contact, and within a day or so, we had our first phone call and he answered every question I had. He was so transparent from the very beginning and he also led our venue tour. As soon as we drove onto the property, we knew this was our venue. Nicholas stayed in contact with us throughout the next several months and was so prompt in his responses. We chose the gold package, and Alida was assigned as our coordinator. She was super helpful in the weeks leading up to the wedding, but we cannot get over how amazing she was on the day of. We had a mixup with an order for my signature drink (lychee martini) and received guava juice instead of lychee juice. My husband tried to arrange for someone else to bring it, but no luck due to time constraints. I was a bit bummed. Then, during our private dinner, Alida magically walks in with a lychee martini for me. I’m still not entirely sure how she arranged for it, but it was one of the best parts of our night. A few days later I find out that we actually forgot to bring the sparklers for our exit, but we had a sparkler exit at the wedding without a hitch… it turns out Alida had some extra and used those instead. There were little things throughout the day that *almost* went wrong, but Alida handled everything with such grace, found a solution, and somehow kept me calm through it all. We can’t thank her enough. The venue itself is stunning. Our guests had the best time and could not stop talking about the amazing food by Gala Cuisine. We were able to do a mixed Indian and American menu, which really set this venue aside for us! We loved every moment of our wedding and will think of it for years to come.

The venue is off the beaten trail up the road from Dry Mill Winery. When you drive down the road you see a beautiful manor house that checked off our first box. We walked into the house and Jill decorated the giant chalkboard wall with our name for an extra special touch. The high ceilings, giant chandelier, Victorian era decor, and the speakeasy charm had us hooked. Once we signed, Jill and Wes kept us updated on all the happenings at the venue and changes that incurred with a COVID wedding. They worked well with our wedding planner and we really couldn’t have had a better wedding. They even let us hide a bottle of whiskey on the property for good luck! If you are truly looking for a magical wedding, Cimiez Manor should be the first choice!
