Swan Cove Manor

Swan Cove Manor is a 27-acre estate near Cambridge, Maryland, that hosts weddings, family reunions, retreats, and vacations. The surroundings are nothing short of perfection. Absolute peace and relaxation are here! Wedding packages begin with a 3-home rental, and homes for family vacations can be rented individually or together. With the combination of water and wooded area, there isn't a bad view anywhere. Nature at its best!

We are an outdoor venue. The ceremony and cocktail hour take place on the lawn and waterfront, and the reception is in our beautiful tent with a solid floor. In the event of inclement weather, fear not. We have a backup plan that works flawlessly, and enjoyment remains to be had by all.

Weddings are booked as a three-night weekend wedding celebration experience so that the celebration can continue after four or five hours. This option includes three-night accommodations, a tent, chairs for the ceremony and reception, tables, restrooms for guests, parking attendants, property facilitators, and a day-of coordinator. We offer as all-inclusive as you want, with local vendors familiar with the property and special packages designed around exclusive services offered to Swan Cove Manor couples.

We welcome ALL COUPLES!

Outside vendors are allowed but must be approved by property management; a fee may apply.

Our Homes:

The Charthouse #1, Mariner #2, and Spinnaker #3 are all waterfront homes. Each home has the same amenities inside and out, uniquely offering different floor plans and room configurations. Inside amenities include five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, a laundry room, and breathtaking views. Outside amenities include a fenced in pool, four kayaks with life jackets, a fire pit (wood provided), gas grill (propane provided), hammock, horseshoe pits, outside seating, picnic tables, pier with a crab pot and to dock a boat (mean tide at the end of each pier is three feet), play area for the kids. These homes have much to offer; the above is just a taste of what to expect. The homes sit close enough to each other to vacation together and far enough from one another to have private space.

The Mariner #2 and Spinnaker #3 have an 80'x50' event tent between them. The tent doesn't obstruct any views on the property and acts as an added privacy barrier between the two homes. Based on what you're booking your stay for, it determines if the tent is a part of your rental, not a part of your rental, or is an option to add to it.

The floor plans/home layout haven't changed. Some furniture moving or removal is possible. We do our best to keep this information as updated as possible, but scheduling conflicts may prevent updated footage from happening in a timely manner.

The Outrigger #4 can sleep up to 20 people, which includes beds, bunk beds, sofa bed(s), futon(s), and trundle bed(s) in shared and common spaces.

Off the kitchen is a room through double doors leading to what we use as our hair and makeup room for brides and bridal parties to get themselves ready before a wedding. This room has a sofa bed in it as well. Relax and enjoy coffee, morning yoga, and the sounds of nature out on the back deck facing a beautiful wooded area.

Our Tent

Our beautiful 80' x 50' enclosed (but can open) tent is perfect for weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, and family celebrations. With clear vinyl on the waterside of the tent, your water views can never be taken away due to inclement weather, even when the tent needs to be closed. The tent has white drapes on the ceiling, and four hanging greenery-lit chandeliers complement the space. The tent has perimeter lighting and four oscillating fans to move air around to keep the tent comfortable. The tent has a solid concrete floor, so walking and dancing in mud are no longer concerns. Tables and chairs are available. The tent can accommodate up to 200 people, and depending on the specific layouts, there is a possibility of a bit more.
