Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

I don’t even know where to begin with describing how amazing Caboose Farms is. As someone that works in the wedding industry, I identified far in advance that I wanted to get married at Caboose Farms. I especially was interested in the property since it allowed us to also host 80 people in their 7 houses for the weekend. We both knew we wanted to make our wedding into a weekend of time with our family and friends and not have everyone sitting in hotel rooms - Caboose Farms was the perfect solution. Once I showed my future husband the venue he also fell in love with it. The houses are so inviting and our guests enjoyed the house layouts. In addition the ample ceremony options and significant space in the event barn for you to use in many different ways was amazing. Our guests were able to enjoy the game room, theatre room, wrap around deck, fire pit, and of course the dance floor!! Now to get to the best asset at Caboose Farms- Colby and his staff. We booked the venue and houses 18 months in advance and he was willing to answer all of our questions about the houses and property. He also provided us with a number of suggestions and solutions. Him and his team made our wedding day an absolute breeze! We had some weather moving in and Colby had both an indoor and outdoor ceremony site set up for us. He and his team helped coordinate everything so that there were no issues. His bar staff were also great for both nights of our event. Our guests complimented both Colby and all of his staff recognizing how much they do to make sure everything goes smoothly. To put it simply - Caboose Farms is a great place with even better people!! We can’t wait to go back and rent houses with our family.

  • Feels like a getaway

Venue considerations

  • No built-in audiovisual options
  • No all-inclusive dining options
  • No free parking
Zigbone Farm was the spiritual heart of our wedding. As soon as we booked this venue, everything flowed from there. Schedule, design and theme, decisions about other vendors and guest list — everything else became easier because this venue provided such a gorgeously strong anchor point in the middle of our special celebration. What more can you ask for? Every single vendor commented on the uncommon beauty and peace of this venue. We loved having our welcome dinner here on Friday night and having a local vendor make pizza in the cob oven. On Saturday when it rained, we didn’t have to worry because we knew the lodge house would beautifully accommodate our guests for cocktail hour and that the pavilion and event hall would be fine if the rain didn’t stop (it did, and we got a double rainbow!). On Sunday, we hosted a beautiful farewell breakfast. It was so wonderful to be able to have so many friends stay on site with us, and to have some space from them in the bridal suite. Not having to leave the property once during the entire weekend was such a blessing and kept things from feeling too busy or crazy. Marijke was our main contact and she was so quick to respond to any questions we had and really fun to interact with. She clearly loves this place and has a deep enthusiasm for the couples who celebrate there. Our guests who stayed on site felt so spoiled and kept remarking on how relaxed they felt, that it felt like a true retreat for them even amid a busy schedule of events. We really hope to return to Zigbone for a reunion one day, what a special sacred place. I cannot recommend it enough to any couple marrying. Especially as a queer couple, we felt deeply affirmed, safe and celebrated here. Thank you Marijke and Dena!!

About wedding venues in Maryland

Maryland offers exceptional variety for couples planning their special day.

Small gatherings of about 50 guests average $22,754 while mid-sized celebrations with 150 guests typically run around $51,712. Large weddings hosting 300 guests can reach $89,329. Your venue will likely be your biggest expense at about $8,532 for a typical wedding; that's 16% of your total budget for a 150-person celebration, so choosing wisely matters.
