10/10 Wedding with the Vandiver

The Vandiver Inn exceeded my expectations in every way. Most of our guests traveled from out of state and it was excellent for them to have the opportunity to all stay together at the Vandiver. Bobbie and Bri were so accommodating and took great care of our family and friends. The venue itself is beautiful. Liz took care of everything. I can’t recommend choosing the Vandiver enough because of how much you get for the price. The food is top notch and all the set up and take down is done for you. It makes for a stress free wedding. There is nowhere else I would even think of choosing. Also, Havre de Grace is a quaint town for those that have not been there. Our out of town guests loved it

The best wedding venue EVER!!!

We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding – it was truly the best experience we could have ever imagined. From the moment we started planning to the final clean-up at the end of the night, everything was flawless and stress-free, thanks to this incredible team and space.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning – it provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, reception, and every little photo moment in between. What truly set this place apart, though, was the amazing staff and our incredible coordinator, Courtney. They were so organized, thoughtful, and accommodating throughout the entire process. They listened to our vision, provided excellent suggestions, and ensured every detail was handled seamlessly.

One of the highlights for us was that the entire wedding party stayed at the Vandiver, transforming the celebration into a full weekend event rather than just a few hours. Having everyone together made the experience feel so intimate and special. From the night before to sharing a breakfast together the next morning, it felt like we were able to make memories with our closest friends and family beyond just the wedding day itself.

Set-up on the big day was smooth and efficient – it was as if they waved a magic wand and turned our dreams into reality. The clean-up process, which we had been dreading, was also handled so well that we barely had to think about it.

Every guest raved about how beautiful, well-run, and memorable the wedding was, and we owe so much of that to this venue and its team. If you’re looking for a place that makes wedding planning a joy and turns your day into a full, unforgettable weekend, I can’t recommend the vandiver enough. We are so grateful and will cherish our experience here forever!

Great Experience at the Vandiver

The Vandiver Inn made my wedding the best day of my life so far. From the first meeting, my husband and I felt comfortable and as if our ideas mattered. We worked with Liz, Courtney, and Ashley while planning our wedding. At no point in time did we feel rushed during meetings or as if we were a bother when asking questions. They made sure to answer all of our questions and contributed their own ideas. On our big day I didn’t life a finger. Ashley made our ceremony and reception amazing. She handled all of the possible issues big and small. If she wasn’t sure she called to get clarification. It really allowed me to relax and enjoy the getting ready process. All of the staff was kind and my guests couldn’t stop commenting on it, even after the wedding. I would also like to add that the grounds are absolutely beautiful and my guests loved the fire pits and garden.
