And the celebration after? Small to large, traditional to unconventional. You want it, you got it. We can't wait to make your Maryland vineyard wedding better than you ever imagined. And then some.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples can invite up to 150 guests to their wedding at the Big Cork Vineyards. Ceremonies can be held in locations across the property at this charming vineyard.

In addition to ceremony chairs, the venue provides a standalone door in a frame that stands at the start of the aisle. There are also multiple reception spots for couples to choose from. The tasting room, with its metallic and wooden barrels, makes the perfect location to set up long reception tables. Overhead, white chandeliers in a twisting design light the room. The building also has a patio space outside for a couple's reception or cocktail hour. This includes tables partially in the shade and partially out in the sun, or — as twilight settles in — under the stars.

October Wedding

Big Cork and their staff were so wonderful for our wedding from the very beginning. They were attentive and friendly during the whole planning process. Meagan was always communicating with us promptly and clearly to make sure we were all always on the same page. Also, being able to stay on the property for the entire weekend was so convenient, making it easy to store decorations and all other items in advance so we did not feel rushed the day of. We would strongly recommend using their listed vendors as they have clearly worked with each other so often to make the wedding day seamless. Not to mention, the venue is gorgeous! During the fall, the sunset is so beautiful over the valley with an outdoor ceremony, we couldn't have asked for anything better!

The perfect wedding venue!

Every time I visit Big Cork it’s even more beautiful to me. It’s literally the perfect venue. The view of mountains, greenery, and vineyard is a triple threat. It’s breathtaking! The indoor area is just as divine. It’s a true gem hidden in the hills of a Maryland valley along the Appalachia.

Big Cork, Meagan, Emma, and the vendors they work with were beyond expectations! They were so friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout the whole planning and finish of our special day.

My husband and I would repeat that weekend for the rest of our lives, that’s how perfect it was. A literal dream. Thank you so much. It was flawless 👌🏼♥️


P.S. The Big House on property lives up to all expectations! Master bathroom is heaven on earth in my opinion.

The Roig's Wedding

Big Cork was magnificent - the venue is beautiful and everyone who attended was extremely happy. The house on the property where we staid was beautiful and it made it so convenient. I we had to do it all over we will use Big Cork again. If I had to say anything could improve, i would be having AC /ventilation for the exterior spaces

Phenomenal!! Cannot recommend enough!!

Big Cork Vineyards had always been a favorite for me and my husband. Having our wedding at Big Cork was an absolute dream. We stayed at the BIG house on the property the day before our wedding through the day after and it was such a treat! We felt so spoiled through the whole process. Meagan Grove (the Big Cork events manager) and her assistant, Emma Norton, were beyond attentive, helpful, and supportive through the whole process. I cannot give them enough praise. Truly. Our wedding was a dream. We had our ceremony in front of the vines and an intimate reception in the barrel room. The venue and property are stunning. I cannot recommend Big Cork enough.

Beautiful backdrop for your big day!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views that created the ideal backdrop for our day. Our guests were wowed by the setting, and we were thrilled with how everything looked.

A special thank you to Meagan for her incredible flexibility and support throughout the planning process. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, making adjustments and helping us bring our vision to life. Her calm and organized approach made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

We’re so grateful to BIG Cork and Meagan for making our wedding unforgettable!

Best venue ever!

We got married at Big Cork about a month ago, and it was as close to perfect as you could get! Can't say enough at how impressed we were with what Big Cork offered. We had 150 guests, and with the weather in mid-September, our guests got the chance to take all of the property in, from arrival at 5:30, through Sunset, and capping off the night at 11.

Meagan was wonderful to work with, very polite and approachable when we had questions throughout our planning process. She was even able to make a few last minute changes to our table layout a couple days before. Her team was very efficient in the setup and breakdown of the tables and chairs for ceremony and reception, in a short amount of time!

Big Cork offers their wedding guests the Big House, which is a 5 bedroom home on the property. We were able to use this for our rehearsal dinner, first look, and after-party. This was a game changer! We would recommend anyone to have Big Cork host their wedding, we will certainly be back on weekends to enjoy their wine and take the views in. 10/10.

Amazing! Picture perfect day 📸

We got married at Big Cork on August 12th this year and we could not recommend it enough. We also had the luxury of having the big house from Friday to Sunday which I would HIGHLY recommend. All of our friends and family really cherished that extra time we could all spend together and it was the perfect place for me and my bridesmaids for the weekend. Megan was absolutely amazing and the coordination of the day from the venue side was absolutely perfect. The only thing we wish was that we had more time because it was that great! We would definitely recommend Big Cork Vineyards to anyone getting married in the DMV area. Amazing wine as well with such knowledgeable staff.

Beautiful Winery and Exceptional Service

We recently hosted my daughter’s wedding at Big Cork. From the planning stages to the big day, Megan, the event coordinator, provided exceptional service. The winery is absolutely beautiful and included in the rental is a large home that we had access to from Friday to Sunday. We had the entire wedding party and almost all of the guests traveling from out of the state and overseas. We had a bridal shower and the rehearsal dinner at the house and the entire wedding party stayed there throughout the weekend. Our guests raved about the setting, the wine, and the attention to detail. We would not hesitate to recommend Big Cork. It was the perfect backdrop for a wedding celebration and we were able to focus on our family and friends without worrying about any of the details. Thank you so much to Megan and the staff at Big Cork for making meeting and exceeding our expectations!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
