Nestled in beautiful Ijamsville, Maryland, Glen Ellen Farm is a historic wedding venue with plenty of rural charm. This outdoor setting is tucked away among 30 acres of rolling hills and meadows watered by streams. The current owner of this storied property invites couples planning their wedding to consider this setting for their milestone celebration.
Facilities and Capacity
This restored Greek Revival property was originally built and owned by John Brown, the civil engineer supervisor of the B&O Railroad's Old Main Line during the 1830s. During the modernization of this line, Brown used discarded wooden rails for joists and rafters in the house's framing. This unique feature went undiscovered for years and is now a treasured part of the venue's history. The name was inspired by this once being the home of Lady Ellen Thompson and the glen it sits in. A couple may wed at the ceremony site near the spring-fed pond and stone springhouse before enjoying a reception at the outdoor tented event space. This area makes good use of the old barn ruin for a rustic ambience.

Glen Ellen Farm is an amazingly beautiful venue that is sure to become a household name in wedding venues in the Frederick area. I worked with Debbie as a coordinator for the first wedding on this property in September and she is so amenable and easy to work with. She takes such care in every aspect of the property and with developing a relationship with the wedding couple. I am looking forward to working with Debbie for many more weddings in the years to come.
