Oliver's Carriage House was built in 1811 and served as the barn and stables for a large private estate in Howard County, Maryland. Since the mid-1970s, it has been the home of Kittamaqundi Community Church, an ecumenical Christian community in the heart of Columbia's Town Center village.
Inside our building, you'll find the original stone walls, exposed wooden beams and a grand fireplace. Outside, the tree-lined grounds, colorful gardens and landscaped brick patio add to its historic charm.
We think the Carriage House will impress your guests and add a touch of enchantment to your special day!

Which of the following wedding events does your venue service?
This is the perfect venue for the couple who want a venue with lots of character and flexibility. The historic space for the reception is so pretty and intimate. We held our outdoor ceremony in the charming back lawn surrounded by pretty landscaping with the gorgeous stone building in the background. Kathy was our contact and extremely helpful throughout the planning process, but there is no venue attendant or coordinator the day of but it worked for us since we had lots of help to keep the day running smoothly. It was fun to be handed the keys and having the independence to make everything our own. The whole night and after we've heard so many compliments about Oliver's Carriage House and are so happy we chose it as our venue.

I could not have chosen a better venue. Everyone I worked with was awesome and the building and grounds are stunning.

We feel really lucky we found this venue! It's beautiful and the price is completely reasonable as far as wedding venues go. I also liked that they listed the availability right on their website -- no emailing and hoping to hear back that they have a date free! It's a great space for a smaller wedding -- we were nearly at their limit with 110 people total, and we did have to take up some tables to make the dance floor bigger. But the whole place has a great feel and is historic and gorgeous. Plus, Bob, the rental coordinator, was so helpful and easygoing about everything. My only minor complaint is that it did take a while to hear back when we first emailed (not sure how often they check the general email account) but once we started contacting Bob directly, communication was great. I would highly, highly recommend Oliver's Carriage House!
