10/10 experience

Everything from planing to the day if the event was flawless and the team was amazing. Sarah and Kate killed it with all the little details and asks!
We get to land a helicopter that my dad flew us in - will forever be the best memory ever. It wouldn’t have been possible anywhere else.

Highly recommend!

We had the most magical experience at Running Hare for our October 2024 wedding! Having lived in Calvert County my whole life, I had no idea this gem of a venue existed until recently. Now it’s somewhere my husband and I love to go to, to listen to music + grab drinks, so we knew it was the perfect place for our special day!
The staff at Running Hare went above and beyond to make our wedding day flawless. Our coordinator Taylor was incredibly attentive, helping us through every detail of the planning process + keeping us organized.

We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our wedding. Running Hare made our day truly unforgettable, and we highly recommend it to any couple!

The wine, vineyard and staff are worth it !

I have nothing but great things to say about Taylor and her team. Taylor and her team were super responsive with any question or request we had for our big wedding day. The day of planning on the venue was great despite having to move the ceremony indoors due to the rain. I highly recommend planning an event/wedding here. The wine, vineyard and staff are worth it !

Amazing venue for our nature based wedding

The running hare is a breathtaking venue to host your wedding. My wife and I wanted a nature based vibe for our wedding and the running hare delivered. Our guests were amazed when they stepped into the winery. The staff also worked closely with us and were flexible to make sure our vision and needs were met. This was also the few vendors that could cater to our guest size.

Running Hare is the most gorgeous venue!

Running Hare is so beautiful and I highly recommend this venue. My husband and I could not have imagined a more picturesque setting to get married in. My favorite spot at the venue is the garden tunnel where we did our first look because it is the most idyllic location. The Tuscan Events Center is huge and spacious, and all of the French doors open to the portico area so it is the perfect indoor/outdoor venue. My only negative thing to say is that when I was planning my wedding they did not have a hired wedding coordinator. The owner and GM were very responsive to all of my emails and still helped with my questions, but I didn’t know if I was going to have a day of coordinator until a few days before the wedding. They might have hired someone since then though, and I still highly recommend this venue because we had the most beautiful wedding we could have imagined!

Look no further!

Running Hare Vineyard was the absolute best wedding venue for my husband and I. From the first time we visited RH we knew it was something special and not like most venues. It is beyond beautiful. The Tuscan villa is not something you would normally find in Maryland. I would definitely recommend RH. It is not only beautiful but working with Kim and Taylor was pleasant. Taylor updated you on things and was timely with emails which created less stress for myself. I would give RH and the experience of having my wedding there 10/10!

beautiful and effortless

We loved our wedding at Running Hare! Taylor was amazing throughout the entire planning process by reminding us when payments or details were due and giving us plenty of time to get it to her. It took away the stress of having to remember every little detail of our contract. They were responsive and helpful from the moment we showed up for a tour. The location is beautiful and everything looked perfect on our wedding day! Taylor even got a light fixed that we noticed was broken on the evening of our rehearsal. We saved so much money on decorations because of how beautiful the location is. My only negative is that they don't give you much time to get ready in their bridal room (2 hrs prior to ceremony), so you do have to make other arrangements for that.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
