Mountain Memories at ThorpeWood is a barn and farm wedding venue located in Thurmont, Maryland. Situated among the Catoctin Mountains, it is on 165 acres of land spreading out around it. A truly nature-inspired escape, this venue provides couples and their guests with a secluded and idyllic place to celebrate one of the biggest days of their lives.

Facilities and Capacity

Featuring a range of event spaces to choose from, the couple can select the one that best suits their preferences. In fact, as many as eight diverse outdoor places are available for the ceremony including the Pine Cathedral, pavilion, stone bridge, and more. Surrounded by trees with rustic benches and chairs for up to 130 people, the Pine Cathedral offers a breath-taking place for the couple to say ‘I do’. For an indoor ceremony, the Lodge makes for an intimate and inviting setting with its majestic fireplace and cozy ambiance. After the newlyweds have been pronounced and the confetti has been sprinkled, the wedding party can make their way towards one of the reception areas to continue the celebrations. Indeed, Mountain Memories at ThorpeWood can accommodate approximately 150 people for a reception at the Lodge. Here, dining, dancing, mingling, and revelry can take place as everyone joins in the speeches and toasts. When decorated accordingly with fairy lights, charming centerpieces, and floral displays, the place looks resplendent. Chiavari-style chairs and round tables are complemented by artificial spotlighting and natural light. Around the fireplace, the couple can enjoy their first dance as newlyweds while everyone takes photos. Other spaces available at the property include the Barn, willow pond, green spaces, as well as a special tree-planted garden.

    A Beautiful Experience!

    Working with the staff at Mountain Memories, as well as with their recommended photographer and caterer, were a joy. They made it easy to plan the wedding and were onsight to ensure that the event was as wonderful as we hoped. Many of our guests told us that they were impressed by the beauty of the venue and the staff's attentiveness.

    Just book it - you can't go wrong. ThorpeWood is magic.

    Mountain Memories at ThorpeWood is pure EXCELLENCE. My husband wasn't sure he wanted a wedding - his mantra for months, "let's elope." Not so the morning after our marriage at ThorpeWood - "that was the best wedding ever, can we do it again?!"

    The best wedding ever - truly it was. And yours will be too because the people who care for ThorpeWood are as committed to making your wedding dream come to life as they are to this enchanting place of unparalleled beauty.

    It's hard to say what we loved most about ThorpeWood, but it's people are high on the list. We had the tremendous pleasure of working with Cara. On my day, she became like a best friend, a big sister. Cara radiates care - for you, and for ThorpeWood. She made me feel so special and calm. My family and I were just in awe of her joyful exuberance, professionalism, and tireless work ethic.

    Every vendor ThorpeWood recommended to us was outstanding. Florist, musician, DJ, caterer, photographer - they all deliver exceptional service, but most notably to me, they were exceedingly kind. ThorpeWood is good people and it attracts good people. They lift you up. And they clearly have years of experience working together - their coordination is flawless.

    Next, ThorpeWood itself. Wow. Just the drive up there is outrageous. We booked one venue, but it's like we had four. The morning after, we loved retracing our guests steps - first, up the winding road past green forests and rushing streams to the quietness of the Pine Cathedral; cocktail hour in the pavilion surrounded by trees; dinner in the main lodge that has so many windows it's like you're still in the woods; and finally, downstairs to the beautiful patio and fire pit. People remarked on the beauty everywhere, not least the lodge's astonishing stone work.

    Just book it - you can't go wrong. ThorpeWood is magic.

    Mountain Memories at ThorpeWood's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words Caroline! It was an absolutely joy to work with you both! Thank you so much for choosing Mountain Memories and we hope that you will visit us again for years to come! - Cara
