Stone Manor Country Club

I recently went to Stone Manor with a bride and I was totally blown away — the impeccably maintained property was such a lovely country retreat!

The quaint, pastoral Stone Manor Country Club is situated on 100 acres of rolling hills in beautiful Middletown, Maryland. It is the perfect location for those couples desiring a country-style, private event with unbeatable views and superb customer service. In fact, Stone Manor hosts only a single event per day, and thus clients can expect undivided attention on their wedding. Employees promise to do everything they can to make sure all aspects of your special day run smoothly and your guests remain happy!

Raspberry Plain

Raspberry Plain, situated on fifty lush, green acres in Leesburg, VA, with views of the expansive Catoctin Mountains, is the perfect spot for couples looking to host their wedding in a quaint, Southern venue, indoor or outdoor, from fifty guests to two hundred guests. It has been around since 1731: rooms are filled with antique furniture, period paintings, gilded mirrors, and ornate Oriental rugs. These features, along with its burgundy walls, elegant chandeliers, and hardwood floors give the mansion an old, stately, and sophisticated feel.

Raspberry Plain provides four ceremony locations and two reception locations – allowing couples to host their entire wedding celebration in one place. Each of these sites has its own unique charm and beauty. The employees at Raspberry Plain are known for their Southern charm and hospitality. The venue has tables and gold Chivari chairs for indoor receptions as well as white wooden folding padded chairs for outdoor ceremonies. Love that those are included!

Woodend Sanctuary

Woodend Sanctuary, forty acres of rustic country and forest next to Rock Creek Park in Montgomery County, Maryland, boasts incredible natural backdrops and the choice between elegant, high-ceiling rooms for indoor weddings or peaceful, tree-canopied areas for outdoor weddings.

For your ceremony, choose from the classic Greek portico complete with high, elegant columns and fringed with low-hanging tree branches or the ennchanting wedding grove, a romantic, intimate area surrounded by towering trees that filter in sunlight and provide a gorgeous, natural setting.

Woodend Sanctuary is ideal for beautiful photographs among the wildflowers, tall grasses, and lush green trees.
