Old South Country Club is a hidden gem in the Baltimore/Washington Region. From the time you arrive on the property your breath is taken away by the beauty of this structure as well as the surrounding property. We had our reception outdoors on their tented patio and it was just incredibly perfect. From the cannon shot, to the oyster bar, to the gorgeous overlook over the club property and the most perfect sunset- the setting could have not been more classy, incredible and unique. Our friends are raving about the beauty of the club inside and out as well as the food- from the passed and plated hors d'eouvres to the main course. The staff was incredibly accommodating for our vendors, our families and for us. They made sure my husband and I had drinks, and yes, we ate all courses at our wedding day- thanks to their careful timeline and coordination. There was a turnover in the catering director position during our engagement but the club manager made sure we were well taken care of (we never had any communication issues during that time) and on top of that, the staff that heads the events have been there for years and were absolutely wonderful. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. If you are looking for a stunning venue, with a wonderful staff that pays close attention to detail and makes sure you are well taken care of and really just amazing food- this is your place!

We had our ceremony and reception at OLd South and it was AWESOME! We worked with Lara throughout the process and she was fantastic! From our first meeting until the end of the reception she was always available for us and made our wedding day so memorable. The golf course is beautiful and the food was excellent. We had the time of our lives and will never forget how wonderful the club and the staff was. I highly recommend this venue!

The location is absolutely GORGEOUS. We had our ceremony on the Veranda, cocktail hour in the Oak Room and the reception under the tent. Danny Dunne handled all the logistics and I never had to follow up or chase anyone down. The weekend ran seamless and all the guests commented on how beautiful the venue was. My mother (MOB) was extremely impressed with how professional and accommodating the staff was that day. Old South, and Danny especially, made my wedding day dreams come true. I can't express how happy I am with choosing this place for such a special time.

I lived in Florida during my planning process and was able to communicate all questions, concerns and requests via email/phone. Please do not hesitate to set up a consultation or contact Old South for a quote or any questions you may have. Happy Planning :)

Old South Country Club made for a dream wedding! My husband and I were married this past Saturday and we had the best wedding! Lara Goldstein is the coordinator at the club and she is PHENOMINAL! The tasting was fabulous, it was impossible to choose just one thing so we had two stationary appetizers (the world's BEST spinach dip, and veggies and cheese), and three passed apps - brie and fruit tarts, mini chicken cordon bleu (which my guests can't stop talking about), and mini crab cakes. There were pre-poured wine glasses in the oak room and the hunt room immediately when guests walked in. The service was amazing - the food was hot and everything was on time and ran smoothly. I cannot say enough about Lara - she is on top of everything! She even reserved our wedding night suite for us at the Maryland Inn. She checked in with us almost every day via e-mail and took care of all the linens and a lot of the decorating details. We were able to come in and decorate at the club two days before our event, and Lara was there to help the whole time. The club let us customize everything we asked for - including hanging garlands on the bannisters (the grand staircase made an amazing photo backdrop for us and our 26 person wedding party!) We used the entire first floor for cocktail hour, and then set up a photo booth down there during the reception. The top floor was decorated flawlessly. It was a DREAM COME TRUE. Both balconies (front and back) were used during the wedding for people to take a breather outside and cool down. It was raining all night and you would have never known - everything was PERFECT anyway! We hired buses to bring our guests to and from the club, the club offers ample parking but we were coming all the way from Annapolis and thought it would be easier. It was a great idea and Lara helped us arrange everthing. We had chicken Chesapeake and beef medallions for dinner - the plates were HUGE. and the champagne glasses for the toast were filled to the brim!

The Old South Country Club is beautiful inside and out! All of the staff were accommodating and so pleasant! Cati Mitchell is absolutely amazing to work with! She is so sweet and helpful! Cati made sure that everything was done just how I wanted it and was so flexible in allowing me to bring things to the venue. She was always available to answer all of my questions and could be contacted via email or phone. The food was absolutely delicious! We served prime rib and chicken chesapeake. The prime rib was so tender and had very little fat. YUM!

Old South was a beautiful setting for our reception. Dalila was very helpful in the planning process and had amazing attention to detail. We had our cocktail hour in the Oak room and on the adjacent patio, and then dinner and dancing was on the back patio under a tent. It was the perfect space to entertain our family and friends and everyone raved about how beautiful the club was. Dalila worked very hard to make our vision come true and was very reasonable in terms of pricing. Our food, particularly the appetizers, were delicious and the servers were very friendly and efficient. We would certainly recommend Old South as a wonderful place to host an event!

The country club is beautiful. The director or catering did a great job and made sure that the wedding, ceremony and reception, went smoothly. I think this location is a nice choice to have a wedding.

After touring several suburban DC venues, Old South knocked it out of the park. They were the first venue I visited, and nothing else ever compared. Fall weddings are especially beautiful here. There were a few snags in the planning process (mainly staff turnover), but I would not have changed the venue. This place made my wedding.

Perks:
-Allows lots of set up time
-The catering pricing includes an open bar! Very affordable
-The club has space for a ceremony, a cocktail hour, and a reception, so no need for transportation; also has a bridal suite, a make up room, a room for gifts/guestbook, coats, etc
-A stunningly beautiful but also modern building that is well-maintained
-The grounds also provide lots of photo ops
-Only one wedding per day
-Very reasonable site fee/room rental
-Food was pretty good, we got a lot of it
-If you want an outdoor ceremony but don't want to worry about rain, they have a beautiful veranda overlooking the golf course that has a (free) large tent in place from spring to fall

Cons:
-I had a long engagement and booked this venue roughly 1.5 years out; this resulted in three different catering managers during my relationship with the club. Staff turnover is a huge problem
-The permanent dance floor in the ballroom is a tad small, so if you're planning on having a big dance party, people will wind up on the carpet, but then again, you don't have to pay for it
-A word of caution about the tent: it's not the prettiest thing on the underside, but I was quoted $2,000 to drape it.... I decided in the end that no one would remember the tent from out 5 minute ceremony and that I should spend the money elsewhere, but just something to think about
-I recommend hiring a day-of coordinator, even if it is your OCD problem-solving friend who likes to organize things
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
