Top 5 Favorite Wedding Venues in Maryland and DC

 
 

Maryland is home to various farms and amazing coastlines, making it one of the best places in the world to tie the knot in front of your friends and family! Not only are there aesthetic outdoor locations galore, there are plenty of beautiful venues to choose from as well. Additionally, DC is home to some of the beautiful American landmarks and breathtaking architecture — from museums to national monuments. 

So, whether you’re looking for an industrial cotton mill, a stunning library, a luxurious garden, or a rustic farmhouse — the DMV area has got you covered. Fall may not be considered “wedding season” by definition, but in my opinion, this time of year makes for some of the most visually beautiful weddings. As a DC and Maryland wedding planner, I’ve had the privilege of coordinating several weddings in my home state and in doing so, been exposed to some of the most gorgeous DC and Maryland wedding venues.

If you’re a bride and/or groom looking to have their wedding in Maryland or DC, but aren’t sure what venue is right for you, you’ve come to the right place! Here are my 5 favorite wedding venues in Maryland and DC.

Exchange vows at the water's edge, in a grand ballroom, or in a garden surrounded by flowers — there are intimate hideaways and dramatic spaces around every corner at the Inn at Perty Cabin. Or, you could weigh anchor and get married at sea aboard their 55 foot Hinckley yacht. Whatever you're dreaming, the Inn and Perry Cabin can bring your wishes to life.
