Beautiful Venue in Downtown Frederick

We have used Tenth Ward multiple times for our team meetings and holiday parties, and I have attended many more events and meetings at their beautiful space.

The historic wedding venue is woman-owned and features wall-to-wall exposed brick, large industrial windows, and beautiful original hardwood floors. It is on the second floor and requires stairs to access but it is worth the short climb.

The staff is very responsive and easy to work with.

In addition to business meetings I know they host weddings. I am sure it would be a wonderful venue for this as well!

Cool Venue

This venue is so cool. It was awesome that they included a coordinator the day of as part of the rental cost.

Was a dream come true!

Tenth Ward was the perfect setting for our wedding vision! The perfect space for about 115 guests. We loved that we were able to have both our ceremony and reception in one spot! The Exceptional Photographer was Morgan Schrader.

Incredible Venue!

We are so happy we went with Tenth Ward for our ceremony and reception! The space is absolutely incredible- the lighting is so amazing, and you can do so much with the space! Due to an unexpected emergency, our day of wedding coordinator was not able to be at our wedding, but Tenth Ward did such an incredible job of handling the emergency and making sure everything went perfectly. The owner, Monica, stepped in as day of wedding coordinator, and everything was smooth! As a pretty type A/control freak kinda person, I can say that they handled everything the day of the wedding perfectly. I was able to completely relax and enjoy the day without worrying about anything. They were very flexible about different things we wanted, such as having our dogs in the ceremony and providing mocktails as an option as well. Highly recommend!

The Best Day Ever

When my now husband and I were looking for our wedding venue, we had difficulty finding something that met our criteria but didn't feel like a wedding factory. Once we toured Tenth Ward Distilling Company, we immediately knew it was the right place for us. The aesthetic was exactly what we were looking for and was a perfect fit for our 83-person, COVID-times wedding. Shelley, the Tenth Ward event manager, is an absolute professional and I always felt she had everything under control. She was able to navigate my questions swiftly, offer suggestions on areas we were unsure about, and was great in executing the details of our wedding on the day of. Our guests commented on how beautiful the space was, the quaint feel of Frederick, and the delicious cocktails. It was perfect in every way and I highly recommend the venue for anyone considering it.

Pop-Up Wedding

I can’t recommend this venue enough! My fiancé and I always wanted a smaller wedding, and our friends let us know that Tenth Ward was hosting a pop-up wedding. From the second I contacted Amanda, to the time our wedding ended and we were walking out the door, she was on top of EVERYTHING. Amanda was super responsive to every email and phone call, she made the planning process insanely easy, and she and her team were unbelievable on the day of our wedding. The venue itself is beautiful, and I’d recommend this place over and over if I could.

Covid 2020 Wedding

There is so much I could say, but If your thinking of getting this venue you should do it and get the wedding planner package too! Because Amanda is amazing. Due to COVID we had to push our wedding from July 11 to September 25. Amanda was very responsive when Covid first hit, in regards to what we wanted to do. She was literally the glue that held my wedding together and the reason it went so smoothly. The venue is beautiful and I loved that I had the option to use their bartenders while bringing my own liquor. Overall my event was everything and more. I’m very happy that I decided to go with this venue!

Magical "Corona-Style" Wedding

We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and we thought we would have to wait to have our wedding. Enter pop-up wedding day at Tenth Ward! We had a magical day that we will remember for the rest of our lives thanks to Amanda and the team. We could tell that everyone worked really hard to make our day unforgettable and we are so grateful. I cannot recommend this venue more.

2020 Wedding

I feel like I found a hidden gem when we booked Tenth Ward. As I was looking for Frederick venues, Tenth Ward was by far the most flexible as far as checking off the things we wanted in a venue. Once we decided on Tenth Ward, a pandemic hit and I heard horror stories from other brides about venues being terrible....not Tenth Ward. They stayed flexible and calm and worked with us to change our plans. Amanda was so helpful and great at keeping me in the loop. She always had everything under control, which put me at ease. Our guests were blown away with the beautiful space and laid back atmosphere. I can’t say enough...Monica and the rest of her staff are just good people and I can’t recommend them enough!

October Wedding

Amazing venue for wedding reception and cocktail hour!
The process and decision to have Tenth Ward host our Wedding reception event was beyond easy. Working with Amanda was a breeze, she was always available to answer any questions we had, no matter how small. We had multiple meetings to go over layout, timelines, and logistics, which made us feel super conformable that our day would go flawlessly, and it did. She was wonderful the day of, coordinating with our Vendors (in advance) to ensure everything was executed before the arrival of us and our guests.
I can't recommend this new, unique, space enough for any special occasion. Our guests who are from the area had no idea this space was available, and guests who were not familiar with Frederick were overly complementary of such a unique space in downtown. The historic charm, exposed brick, original floors, and modern ascetics made Tenth Ward the perfect spot. I wish we could do this day all over again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
