    When organizing a wedding, corporate event, weekend retreat, or a peaceful afternoon, Springfield Manor is the right venue. We have a variety of packages available. A trained staff ensures a seamless event while providing an exquisite setting for your big day. Large dance floors, head tables, and bars can accommodate up to 300 guests in the magnificent ballroom and the romantically exquisite barn. Both venues are air-conditioned. The terraces and lawns provide for a seamless transition between the indoors and the outdoors. At the foot of Catoctin Mountain and conveniently located along Rt 15, Springfield Manor is an unmistakably prominent historic mansion that should not be missed. The Manor, which was built in 1774, can accommodate huge formal events as well as small intimate parties, and it also has eight luxurious apartments for overnight guests. The rebuilt bank barn serves as the tasting room for the Winery, Distillery, and Brewery, as well as a gathering spot for special events. Springfield Manor is a 130-acre estate that lies atop its own limestone aquifer, which generates the trademark Limestone Spring Water after which the estate was called. Grapes, lavender, corn, and hay are among the crops now being produced. Springfield is home to a thriving apiary with 35 hives in operation. On the farm, you can see a diverse range of wildlife including hawks and falcons, white-tailed deer (including mule deer), groundhogs, turkey, and even a black bear. Acres of mature trees dot the landscape, along with one-of-a-kind specimens such as the Buckeye and Linden trees, which were imported from Germany centuries ago. Every now and again, one or more of our fainting goats will pay a visit to one of our winery guests.

    Over the course of the past 65 years, Circle D Farm has made steady progress in modernizing our infrastructure. Although we make every effort to adapt as the times change, we never lose sight of the fact that we started out as a working farm. Because we are a family-run business, we all have the distinct advantage of being able to make our homes here on the premises. As a result of this, we make it a priority to continually improve and manage the farm. At Circle D Farm, we take care of the details that are promptly addressed, although at commercial facilities or larger operations, they are sometimes overlooked. We are not a business enterprise that is run by some far-off corporation or board of directors. Every member of the family will go above and beyond to make sure that your stay at the Farm lives up to all of your hopes and dreams and is an experience that you will never forget. There is further information about us that can be found on our website; nevertheless, coming to the farm in person is the only way to be certain that you will see everything that we have to offer you and your visitors.

    1840s Plaza is a historic event venue and boutique hotel set in Baltimore's Jonestown neighborhood, just steps from the Inner Harbor and Harbor East. The property centers on the four-story Fava Building — a Baltimore City landmark whose iconic red cast iron façade was one of twelve to survive the great Baltimore fire of 1904, later restored as home to the Baltimore City Life Museum. Today it hosts weddings, galas, mitzvahs, memorial celebrations, and corporate events across four distinct indoor and outdoor spaces. The fourth-floor Ballroom spans over 5,000 square feet, seating up to 230 guests beneath crystal chandeliers with panoramic views of the Inner Harbor. The second-floor City Lites carries original murals and exhibits from the venue's museum era, dressed in art deco style. The first-floor Cabaret brings Latin-inspired décor suited to a livelier atmosphere. Two private red brick garden courtyards — one adjoining the Fava Building, one surrounding the adjacent 1840s Carrollton Inn — offer outdoor ceremony and cocktail settings framed by boxwood hedges and bistro lighting. The 1840s Carrollton Inn, a 13-room boutique hotel comprised of interconnected row homes dating to the early 19th century, provides on-site accommodations for wedding parties and overnight guests.

    Blue Moon Rising is an eco-conscious woodland wedding and event destination nestled among the trees near Deep Creek Lake in McHenry, Maryland. Founded in 2008 by Lisa M. Jan, the property was built with an earth-first philosophy — reclaimed and recycled materials throughout, and excavated soil worked into the natural plaster of its straw bale buildings. The result is a gathering place that feels genuinely rooted in its surroundings. The venue hosts weddings, corporate retreats, and family reunions across an interconnected campus of 14 individually designed cabins and shared outdoor spaces. For weddings, couples exchange vows in the Universal Evergreen Chapel of Earth, an outdoor ceremony site set within the woodland, with capacity for up to 100 guests (45–75 recommended). A collection of tipi tents serves cocktail hour, and the community building — accommodating up to 60 — is available for rehearsal dinners and intimate gatherings. Included with wedding bookings are barn wood tables and benches, two rustic bars, lighting, electrical access for the reception area, and logistical staff support throughout the weekend. Guest accommodations across the 14 cabins allow wedding parties and retreat groups to stay on property, with linens, towels, and pet-friendly options provided.

The space accommodates up to 275 guests for buffet-style events and up to 300 for seated dinners, anchored by a 20-by-40-foot dance floor — among the largest in the area.
