Mary's Hope Beautiful Wedding Venue with views

This venue was amazing! I worked with Michelle who was awesome and answered all of my questions without hesitation. She was detailed and the wedding went seemingly. She created the schedule of events based on what we wanted and kept everything on time. I highly recommend this venue and the setting makes for gorgeous photos!

Perfect venue!

I wish I could give this venue a 6/5 stars!! Our day went amazing thanks to Michelle and her awesome staff! Our pictures turned out beautiful, the house is so cute, and our guests could not stop commenting on how much they loved the venue. Michelle was a savior prior to the wedding, providing us with so much advice, taking care of contacting the vendors, etc. I could not recommend this venue enough!!! It is AMAZING!!!

Absolutely beautiful place. Michelle was so wonderful, willing to work with us on everything. If we ever had a question, we were able to call or text her and she had an answer immediately for us.

Where do I even start?! From the beginning of searching for this venue to our big wedding day, we have felt the least stressed with Mary's Hope.
Michelle and Suzi were so helpful, organized, and treated us like family. We had many vendors for our wedding that needed to show up for set up day and they made sure everything was where it needed to be. We loved that we were able to set up the majority of our decor the day before and whatever was left I was comfortable leaving it in their hands to get together the day of.
The venue itself is a gorgeous setting on the water. There are so many photo opportunities and our guests fell in love the moment they set foot on the property.
We highly recommend Mary's Hope and their team!

Mary's Hope is such a beautiful location for a wedding. The staff there goes out of their way, and makes you feel like family. They help your day run smoothly since they take on a coordinator role. I have nothing but good things to say about them.

Erin was the best! She was extremely accommodating and responsive, and very flexible. She was very willing to assist with anything I asked and helped my wedding day go smoothly. The venue was exactly what I was looking for and the property is spectacular!

Mary's Hope is beautiful and the ladies there are awesome. We started looking for a venue about 18 months before we actually wanted to be married. Some venues didn't even have a calendar that far in advance but when we looked at MH we fell in love. We wanted an outdoor wedding on the water and we found it. There were a variety of locations for the ceremony and an awesome spot for a tent in the backyard for the reception. My husband was worried about rain, so the inside of the house was a perfect plan B (it didn't rain thank goodness).

It was one of the few venues in Southern Maryland and it was a great value for what we were getting compared to places in DC and Baltimore.

I only gave them a 4 on responsiveness because sometimes it took a few days before I got an email reply back to questions I had; but as I think about it, they weren't dire questions (but seem to be when you live and breathe wedding for a good 6 months).

Overall, we were very happy with Mary's Hope and everyone at our wedding loved the setting.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
