10/10 would get married again
Where to begin, the venue? Beautiful. The staff ? Incredible. Mary Beth and Chris are so knowledgeable and can be as hands on or as hands off as you would like them to be. I’m not exaggerating when I say I literally do not think I could have put my wedding together without Chris lol. The hall is incredible, we had just a hair over 140 guests and everyone fit very comfortably with lots of room for dancing and they also have an awesome wrap around porch as well as walk out green space so people can step in and out. The wine and beer selection was delightful and there is a lot to choose from, truly something for everybody. We got married this past Friday at the end of October and got lucky with an 80 degree day, our sneak peek photos are incredible with all of the fall color I mean it’s hard to take a bad photo here the views are great. The ceremony site on the hill photographs really well too with the vines and trees in the back. Wanted to give one more shout out to Chris too, best coordinator ever!Where to begin, the venue?

What a wonderful wedding reception!!
Excellent venue for my daughter’s reception. The staff and the coordinators were super nice to work with because they were down to earth and understood what it takes to put on a good party! We were so happy with everything from the staff to the cleanliness of the venue to the flexibility we were given to set up and clean up and to the friendly atmosphere. The building itself is beautiful. Despite a terrible fire only a few yards away from this venue the night before the staff was not frazzled at all. It could have been a totally different story if the firefighters didn’t act quickly. I would recommend Linganore Winecellars to anyone!

Beautiful venue!
My husband and I had a beautiful ceremony and reception at Linganore Winecellars. Our ceremony on the vineyard lawn overlooking the vines was absolutely picturesque (and our pictures were gorgeous!) and Abisso Hall was the perfect space for our group of 105, with ample space for eating and dancing. We used the venue's in-house day-of wedding coordinator, Chris Waldron, and really appreciated the amount of check-ins he did before the wedding and how much attention we got for quite a low price compared to other day-of coordinators.My husband and I had a beautiful ceremony and reception at Linganore Winecellars.

Absolutely Perfect!
Linganore was the first and only venue we visited for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding. We knew it was going to be the perfect venue from the very start. Chris was personable and very easy to work with. He made sure to check-in with us and was extremely helpful. The pictures captured the true beauty of the property. We were all thrilled with how the day went. I even received thank you cards from some wedding guests letting us know what a great wedding it was!Linganore was the first and only venue we visited for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding.

Amazing Venue!
Linganore Winecellars is an amazing wedding venue! Not only is the wine amazing, but the view is breathtaking as well. The staff was so helpful with every part of the planning process. Wedding planning can be stressful but the event staff made sure we had a clear schedule for the big day. We always felt heard and taken care of. On the day of the wedding they checked in with us and made sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 would definitely recommend!Linganore Winecellars is an amazing wedding venue!

Great ambiance and location, but could be more clear in communication
We celebrated our wedding at Linganore Winecellars December 2022 and it was a lovely experience. No major hiccups or complaints. The location is beautiful inside and out and made for a great romantic ambiance with minimal need for decorations. This is great because you only have two hours beforehand to do any decorating. Any issues we had were minor and probably stemmed more from us not having a wedding planner and just being generally unaware of what questions to ask/how to plan an event. When we initially toured the person who showed us the event space was not on the event staff and seemed to just know about the winery, not the event side at all. We had to ask a lot of questions to get any actual information, luckily we were both from the area and knew other people who had been married there before with good experiences. Mary Beth was good with responding to email but we always had to ask direct questions, there was no reminders for deadlines or information to be sent in. I also realized after several weeks of not getting any email response that she was not getting any emails I sent to her email address. Her email ended in @lingaorewines.com, but she would only respond to emails I sent to @linganorewines.onmicrosoft.com. Once I figured this out I didn't have any more email issues. There were some check ins from other event staff but it was always via phone all during 9-5 so I couldn't answer. When I was able to contact them it was just a "do you have any questions" check in without any new information or reminders being offered. I am a pretty organized person so this was mostly fine, but there were some inconsistencies on documents for when things would be due that I had to ask about a lot. Overall, when I posed questions (and I had many) I always got a response pretty quickly and they were happy to help. They also offer a DOC package that I was not aware of until months after I had booked the venue. I would have gladly used this package had I been aware of it earlier. We had requested a specific bartender, but they were not put down for our event which was a bummer and there was no communication to us that they wouldn't be there. Overall the venue was great, but due to the limited time for decorating beforehand and taking down decorations afterwards I highly suggest you minimize the decor or hire a DOC who can also decorate. They will put together a timeline, but don't do much to assist during the wedding or rehearsal. That's probably standard across most venues, but is a little confusing because they indicate an event assistant will be onsite to help, but they really just supervise you. The beverage package was great and definitely worth it to have unique local beer and wine. We got a lot of compliments on that aspect. The food was pretty good, but we did breakfast for dinner and that's pretty hard to mess up. The caterer we had to use with the venue was Fine Cuisine and they were a bit unorganized. We received last minute questions from them as late as the night before the wedding which was mostly fine, but a bit annoying. I believe you can now choose from five different caterers which would be much better. Overall I would recommend this venue without hesitation, especially if you are interested in a simplistic, romantic, cozy type vibe.We celebrated our wedding at Linganore Winecellars December 2022 and it was a lovely experience.

Magical Wedding Day
From start to finish the staff at Linganore Winecellars made sure my wife and I had a relaxed and beautiful wedding day. Our Oct. 1 wedding showcased the fall beauty that is the site at Linganore. The grape vines looked majestic and the trees changing colors provided a wonderful backdrop. With rain in the forecast, staff provided us with plenty of spots to take pictures inside if needed - thankfully the weather held off and we were able to enjoy our ceremony on the beautiful hill overlooking the vineyard. Perfection only just begins to describe the amazing time that my wife and I had. Linganore was the perfect location and the staff did a tremendous job making sure that our wedding day was amazing.From start to finish the staff at Linganore Winecellars made sure my wife and I had a relaxed and beautiful wedding day.

Perfection.
I could not say enough good things about Marybeth and her staff at Linganore. From the second we spoke to the last call clean up at our wedding was a breeze. Marybeth made exexuyed or answered every question comment or concern we had throughout the whole process and never once made us feel out of place. Not only is the venue gorgeous you get the best one on one personal experience throughout the whole process. We could not have dreamed of a better venue or team to make our day the best of our lives.I could not say enough good things about Marybeth and her staff at Linganore.

May Wedding
The point person at the venue I won’t mention her name but if you call there she is the only one that handles things & good luck with getting her to call you or Email in a timely fashion. Never meet her either. The catering company was not friendly either and few people complained to me when they were setting up at the venue. The food however was great. The best part is the lady who couldn’t be bothered to meet me handed me to her assistant who was very kind and helped out when she could but I found out by another person at the venue she quit the day before my wedding. Also found out I was lied to about the venue being booked the day before my wedding and Only early or morning afternoon time was available for a rehearsal. Then charged an additional 75 for an extra hour to decorate and with an rude email about my inquiry. We had a beautiful wedding because I was with loved ones. The person who ended up assisting on my day was a lady named Brittany who was amazing and very kind I’m very thankful for her and all she did.The point person at the venue I won’t mention her name but if you call there she is the only one that handles things & good luck with getting her to call you or Email in a timely fashion.

Mary Beth is such a blessing! From the very first phone conversation to the actual wedding day. We had to make a last-minute adjustment. And add some food to the menu. It was not a problem at all! Mary Beth made sure it happened. All our guests raved about the food and the venue.Mary Beth is such a blessing! From the very first phone conversation to the actual wedding day.

Valentines Day Wedding
First and foremost: The Wine is delicious! Your invites will love it all.
I planned my wedding in one month. My first step was locking down a venue. I loved the scenic vineyard background The Linganore Winery offered.
The Linganore is so romantic, effortless and comfortable. (The Abisso hall is super spacious, made my invitees so comfortable in these COVID times).
They work with many vendors who are amazing and super professional, made it super easy to plan.
The staff was amazing!!! Knowledgeable, friendly, quick, helpful!! In moments of panic they handled everything for us.
The Linganore photographed so beautifully, I am more than thrilled on my wedding experience.

Great venue! - but not great catering
Linganore was a wonderful venue for a great price!! We decided to go ahead and hold and teeny masked social distanced wedding ceremony because of the pandemic - and linganore was really great working with us to arrange their banquet hall in a way where everyone felt comfortable.
Linganore exclusively works with Fine Cuisine Catering - and the food was not great. I would not recommend Fine Cuisine for quality of food - but they were very accommodating since we had a take away dinner reception (due to the pandemic). Unfortunately, Linganore is a package deal with Fine Cuisine - and its possible if we did a plated meal at the venue, the food would have been better? But our tasting was also not great so I am doubtful.Linganore was a wonderful venue for a great price!!

Minor issues over all
For the most part, Linganore was great! They have good wine and beer and the atmosphere was incredible. We had minor issues with little details. When we booked the venue, we requested a 5 hour time slot. A year later (and within months of our wedding) we found out we only had a 4 hour bar package and we had to add a cocktail hour package.
Their wedding coordinator left a few months before our wedding so we had to reiterate our plan, seating chart, etc. to the business manager. This may have caused (or at least contributed) to the forgotten details. Overall, they are worth the money but be prepared to repeat yourself and double check details with them.For the most part, Linganore was great!

An absolutely stunning venue!
When we first looked at venues, Linganore Winecellars stood out immediately: the rolling hills and stunning views of the vineyard and spacious yet intimate indoor venue were to die for and perfectly captured the warm, rustic-glam vibe we were looking for. Additionally, Linganore's exclusive caterer Fine Cuisine Dining was delicious and Linganore's wines are top notch, so we knew our guests would be well taken care of in the food and beverage department.
Sadly our April 2020 wedding had to be postponed until May 2022 due to COVID-19, so in the meantime we held a very small elopement ceremony on the property in June.

Beautiful location and good wine
Our wedding day at Linganore Winecellars was perfect- and what wasn't perfect didn't seem to matter much in the end.
We lucked out with the weather but if you are looking for an outdoor vineyard wedding- this is a gorgeous place. The winery and tasting room will also most likely be open to the public during your event. This didn't turn out being an issue for us. The ceremony location is around back and they do their best to discourage onlookers although, I guess, it could happen. Cocktail hour (for an additional fee) was able to be set up under a pavilion to be out of the sun.
The reception space is in a barn but it is not too rustic. With the right decor, it could be more rustic or refined. The provided tables and chairs were perfectly acceptable to me. You have a choice of linen colors through the caterer.
You won't have a choice in food which is one less decision you will have to make but you are also stuck with pretty basic catering food. The wine is good and per Maryland law, you will only be able to serve alcohol from Linganore or Red Shedman. We thoroughly enjoyed our tastings prior to deciding what would be served at our reception.
There is a bridal suite but it is small and basically just a mirror and bathroom. We had to bring lawn chairs to have seating. There is nowhere for the groom to get ready unless you want to rent an additional space for the day. My groom said he kind of wandered aimlessly prior to the ceremony so it would have been nice for him to have a private place to go.
The coordinator, Karen Pennington, was newer but seemed competent. When we hired the venue, we were told that there wasn't a coordinator so it was nice to have her. We definitely wouldn't have hired a separate coordinator had we known this ahead of time. She was able to answer "Linganore-specific" questions that we had such as how to arrange such a long processional.
A few minor complaints: there was construction on a sidewalk that leads around the winery to the ceremony site that we were not informed of ahead of time. Guests and bridal party basically had to walk on gravel for a portion which wasn't pretty and also a little dangerous. I'm sure this is complete by now. Second, the ceremony site is in a field/meadow. The grass was fairly long when it was mowed so there were significant clippings stuck in my dress and veil. I would have rather not have spent half of cocktail hour trying to pick it out of my dress. If the grass couldn't have been kept short over the summer or raked, it would have almost been better left uncut.
We have beautiful photos of our ceremony and reception. We look forward to coming back to Linganore Winecellars and remembering our special day.Our wedding day at Linganore Winecellars was perfect- and what wasn't perfect didn't seem to matter much in the end.

Great Wedding
Linganore is great. The people that we dealt with are super helpful and responsive, especially Karen P. The wine is good and all our guests seemed to enjoy themselves. We had about 120 people and it seemed like there was plenty of room.Linganore is great. The people that we dealt with are super helpful and responsive, especially Karen P.

The Absolute Best Venue
I couldn't have gone with a better venue than Linganore Winecellars! From the first point of contact, Mary Beth was extremely responsive in scheduling a time for me to come see the venue as well as get together all of the paperwork that was necessary to book the place! When I walked in for my first tasting, the venue itself was breathtaking!! The ceremony area was gorgeous, overlooking the vineyards and the reception hall was beautiful!! Karen, the venue coordinator, was absolutely amazing with accommodating every single one of my needs all the way up to the wedding day itself! Through countless changes and updates on our plan, Karen was there responding quickly to every single one of our requests as well as giving insight! I honestly don't know how my wedding would have turned out if it wasn't for Karen!!! The staff at Linganore was absolutely amazing as well! Everyone is so sweet and helpful, they were an absolute pleasure to work with even when I was stressing out trying to keep things in order! Lastly, THEIR WINE IS AMAZING!!! My spouse and I regularly drive an hour away just to be able to buy a couple of bottles of their Black Raven and Mango Sangria! This is hands down the best venue I could've chosen and I am so grateful to have had my wedding at Linganore Winecellars!!I couldn't have gone with a better venue than Linganore Winecellars!

Great location and amenities with minimal drawbacks
We had our wedding at Linganore a few weeks ago, and it was a perfect day. We highly recommend this venue but want to note a few drawbacks that ultimately did not take away from our experience on the actual wedding day.
Location: The outdoor space overlooking the vineyard is beautiful. We got married on August 31, and the weather was just right for this location. Be aware that guests of the winery will be on the grounds during your event but will be limited to the lower half near the brewery. The indoor space is really great too - it has a classy, rustic feel and looks great before and after adding decorations. The additional private deck, which is rather new, provided an outdoor space for games and drinks during the reception. We should also note that this is a remote location, and there weren’t many hotel options available for guests who needed it. We rented a shuttle bus to bring our guests from a distant hotel and back at the end of the night.
Amenities: One downside is that you have to use one specific catering company (Fine Cuisine), and you can only have a plated dinner (non-buffet) if your party is 65 people or less. However, the catering/buffet was excellent, including service during the reception. Linganore, of course, has a variety of beer and wine (no liquor allowed) to suit just about every taste.
Staff: Our initial contact with Linganore was through Mary Beth, Linganore's private event salesperson. We never actually met her in person, but we were provided with a venue coordinator, Karen, who walked us through every step of the planning process in detail. I cannot stress enough how much we appreciated working with Karen - her personal, caring attitude towards our event made us feel like we were her top priority. On the actual day, she was there early to receive items we needed to drop off, and she was there later in the day to make sure everything was in place for the ceremony and reception. Karen added so much to our experience at Linganore - it would not have been the same without her. Other staff members were friendly as well.
Restrictions: Really, the only issues we had with the venue (and again, these did not ruin any part of our day) were the restrictions. Linganore does not allow you to drop off items the night before, so we had to drive 45 minutes on the morning of the wedding to drop off programs, dessert, deck games (cornhole and giant Jenga), and centerpieces. That made for a rushed morning, but it all worked out. Linganore does not allow you to hang your own lights in the reception hall, but you can get a company to do it - we skipped this due to high cost (it also wasn't that necessary - the lighting provided is sufficient). Since the property is not closed off to other non-wedding guests, we had onlookers during our photo sessions, but it wasn't a big deal. Also, there was some disagreement between management and the venue coordinator about how involved she could be and for what duration of the day. We found this odd, since Karen was one of the main elements that made our day so successful and smooth.
Overall: We highly recommend Linganore based on its aesthetic, amenities, and venue coordinator. As long as you don't mind the restrictions, it's a perfect place to celebrate the start of your marriage journey.We had our wedding at Linganore a few weeks ago, and it was a perfect day.

Mix of Rustic and Modern
We loved Linganore Winecellars for our wedding venue. We opted for having an indoor ceremony and reception because of the heat of August. The Abisso Hall there is like a modern barn. It has extraordinary woodwork and beams and a beautiful floor. It's rustic yet with all the modern conveniences of air conditioning and elegant lighting. Plus you have access to use the rest of the venue for your ceremony and pictures etc. The venue event coordinator, Karen, was extremely kind and detail oriented and helped us to think of things we may have forgotten. I would highly recommend Linganore Winecellars for a wedding and we look forward to returning in the near future to simply enjoy one of their delicious wines or beers!We loved Linganore Winecellars for our wedding venue.

Tour of Venu
I knew Linganore was going to be high on my list for venues after coming to a tasting there. The space had so much room and was beautiful! The view was amazing and had lots of room for activities. The staff was great as well!I knew Linganore was going to be high on my list for venues after coming to a tasting there. The space had so much room and was beautiful!
