WEDDINGS
Whether your dream wedding involves a
grand ballroom filled with all your family
and friends or a small outdoor gathering
with your closest loved ones, your special
day should be exactly as you pictured it.
The venue sets the tone for the event and
Howard County has a variety of sites that
will make your dream a reality.
For smaller, more intimate affairs,
Historic Oakland Manor offers an elegant
ballroom, scenic gardens and a tented
patio. The 19th-century property is nestled
in a peaceful wooded area in the heart of
Downtown Columbia, creating a dreamy
ambience. The Museum of Howard
County History also provides a more
personal, romantic backdrop for your big
day. Housed in a former church, the Gothicstyle stained-glass windows and vaulted
ceilings are full of character that will add a
charming touch to your event.
An outdoor venue brings a lovely sense
of serenity to your ceremony or reception,
and the 68 acres of scenic landscaping at
Belmont Manor & Historic Park are no
exception. The 18th-century property
offers outdoor events in the spring,
summer, and fall, so nature’s color palette
can do most of the heavy lifting for your
décor. Circle D Farm is another gorgeous
option for an outdoor event space. This
150-acre family farm has multiple indoor
and outdoor settings so you can choose
the location that’s right for you.
Howard County has several options
for those couples looking to kick off
their married life with a grand fairytale
celebration! Turf Valley Resort has
multiple ballroom reception spaces to
cater to large parties, while still providing
an elegant, romantic atmosphere. Their
all-inclusive packages and on-site services
make planning easy for a stress-free day.
Elkridge Furnace Inn & Garden House
also offers a full-service wedding venue
for larger gatherings. Take photos in their
beautiful gardens and party the night
away on their dance floor. Their dedicated
planning team will bring your vision to life.
