Meredith Sent on 04/02/2021Perfect Location
The Liriodendron was a perfect location! They were so accommodating with our change of plans during the pandemic. The venue is gorgeous and perfect for both indoor and outdoor events. The bridal suit was great for my bridesmaids and me to get ready, and take pictures. The backdrop of trees made it feel like I was a fairy princess. There is plenty of parking and it's tucked away right in the town of Bel Air where my husband and I both grew up. In walking distance to our favorite brewery and cute shops and our favorite trail.Liriodendron's reply:
Thank you so much for the review, Meredith! We are happy that you had a wonderful experience for your big day. Best Wishes! -

Roni Sent on 12/15/2020Perfect Venue
The Liriodendron was the absolute perfect venue for our winter Beauty and the Beast wedding. It is beautiful, perfect, and amazing in every way possible. The staff is so helpful, they were on top of it throughout all of the pandemic restrictions, and were so accommodating. We not only had our ceremony and reception there, but also our rehearsal dinner! Due to Covid's restaurant restrictions, we were having the hardest time scheduling our rehearsal dinner - Leslie saved the day by offering the Liriodendron for an extra hour on our rehearsal day! Thank you all for bringing my princess, fairytale, winter wedding dreams to life!!Liriodendron's reply:
Hello Roni, and thank you so much for the kind words! We are happy to have been a part of your special day. We can't wait to see photos! You and both of your families were a pleasure to work with. Best Wishes to you and Hunter! -

Kaitlyn Sent on 10/15/2019Wonderful venue
The liriodendron in itself is a gorgeous venue. You need very few decorations because it is stunning by itself. Their prices are great and you get a very whimsical wedding. Our event ran very smoothly I worried about nothing that day. Leslie is so quick to reply to any and all questions. My only concern with the venue was the bridal suite because it was so small, but when we visited the venue during our rehearsal Leslie excitedly informed me the expanded it, and it is so beautiful. The liriodendron was so accommodating it made our wedding so less stressful, we were even able to add an extra hour on short notice. Definitely recommend if you would love a beautiful, stress free venue.Liriodendron's reply:
Thank you Kaitlyn for the nice review. It was our pleasure to host your special day. Best wishes to you, and do come back to visit sometime! -

Kayla Sent on 09/29/2019Perfect venue for a relaxed wedding
My husband and I went to high school together in Bel Air and I am so happy we decided to go back to Bel Air to look at wedding venues. Leslie was amazing to work with, didn't mind us calling her multiple times to ask her thousands of questions and worked with us on the day of our wedding. We got married on a Thursday which saved us a little bit of money, but the venue is perfectly priced and you get all the chairs and tables from the Liriodendron! It's also a gorgeous venue if you are looking for something on the relaxed/nature/vintage side. My guests (especially ones from out of town) kept talking about how beautiful the mansion is and really enjoyed the history too.Liriodendron's reply:
Thank you so much for the nice review, Kayla. It was our pleasure to host your special day. Best Wishes to you! -

Tiffany Sent on 09/26/2019Beautiful Venue
I am so glad that my husband and I chose this venue to have our wedding. It is beautiful inside and out. It’s been a month since I got married but I still hear about how beautiful the wedding was. The staff was super helpful and Leslie gave me a great list of vendors to chose from. I believe it is affordable compared to other places in Maryland. My husband and I did the brunch wedding package and it was great. The only downfall is that the price is for only 3 hours and time just flew by. Either way, it was an absolutely beautiful day and I’m very happy with my decision.Liriodendron's reply:
Thank you so much for the nice review, Tiffany! We are happy to have hosted your special day. Our Brunch wedding option is very economical and couples love it. Best wishes to you! -
![Clara]()
Clara Sent on 09/25/2019Most Beautiful Venue
This venue is stunning. The ceremony was outdoors, dinner was indoors, and the reception was indoor/outdoors. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was. It is very reasonably priced. It is a small venue, but it was perfect for our number of guests. Our only complaint is the groom’s suite was very tight.Liriodendron's reply:
Thank you so much, Clara, and we are very happy that our historic site provided a wonderful setting for your wedding. Best wishes, and please come back to visit! -

Jackie Sent on 01/17/2019A Fairytale
We recently had our wedding at the Liriodendron Mansion. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and well maintained. Our questions and concerns were promptly answered as we were from out of town. We showed up the day before the event for the rehearsal and they were working hard to prepare the grounds which looked like a page out of a fairytale. They even went out of their way to ensure the fountain was working despite the cold weather coming in. The house and the grounds were so well taken care of, it’s clear that they love this property and care about maintaining the history of it. Because of the great experience we had we would definitely have another event at the Liriodendron Mansion and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for an elegant location hidden by the woods.Liriodendron's reply:
Hello Jackie, and thank you for the wonderful review. We were happy to be a part of your big day and provide a beautiful setting for your wedding. Best wishes to you, and please come back to visit when you're in town! -

J Sent on 10/18/2018Beautiful Venue!
The Liriodendron is just a beautiful place to get married. It's such a hidden gem with so much history. We came to this venue during an open house and I envisioned the entire wedding. It was the one! We booked our date and then found our caterer from their vendor list (Dean & Brown is the best!). We opted for a daytime wedding with the standard four hours. If you have alot of speeches or want to enjoy a long reception, I recommend booking the extra hour (s) at the additional cost. Your wedding will go by so fast! . Leslie was so helpful during the entire process. She even allowed us to bring wedding items the day before which saved so much time and stress! I 100% recommend the Liriodendron if you have a guestlist of about 100 or under. You won't be disappointed!Liriodendron's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words. We were happy to host and contribute a beautiful setting for your special day. Best Wishes for a great future together! -

Tammy Sent on 08/13/2017We had our ceremony and reception at the Liriodendron 2 days ago (August 2017). Everything was amazing and beyond our expectations!! The mansion and grounds are absolutely gorgeous and all of our guests enjoyed the historical significance and architecture. We started working with Glenda and then Leslie took over the position. Both were great to work with. Cindy was our staff on site for the wedding. She was very nice and very accommodating to anything we or our vendors needed. They were able to let us bring the decorations early and drop off multiples loads. You cannot use real candles here but that did not bother us at all. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone. It is cost effective too for the gorgeous setting and you can bring in a caterer off of their list and bring your own alcohol.Liriodendron's reply:
Hello Tammy, congratulations to you and Jeff! And thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are happy that we could help make your wedding so special. Just to clarify, we do require a caterer from our approved list, and you made a great choice with Dean & Brown - as you experienced, their service is outstanding. And we agree, the Liriodendron offers great value for the beautiful setting. Thanks again, and best wishes to you, Leslie -

Stephanie Sent on 08/10/2013Love love love this venue! From the moment I stepped foot on the property I knew this was the place for our wedding. We signed our contract a year and a half in advance and never once had difficulty with this venue. Dorothy was amazing and much more flexible than many have stated. The grounds are pristine and add so much to the wedding backdrop. The arbors outside were amazing and our guests loved eating dinner under them. Dorothy was our night of attendant and she stood in the background waiting to help if needed. I couldn't be more pleased with Liriodendron and all it has to offer. To brides looking at this venue please remember it is county property and does have some strict regulations. If you want candles or cords running across the floors then this is not the place for you. If you are ok with LED candles and enjoying the beautiful landscaping then I would highly recommend this venue! -

Emily Sent on 09/07/2012Honestly, I don't know why this place isn't 3 times the price and booked for years in advance. Not only was Liriodendron so beautiful that I almost didn't even need a florist, but I was absolutely stunned to see that it was also the cheapest venue that I looked into renting.
Needless to say, I booked it right away. And thanks to Liriodendron and its very competent staff, the one word everyone has used to describe my wedding has been "perfect".
Still, every place has its pros and cons, so here is my official list:
PROS:
- Lirio has two huge, covered, open-air wings so that you can have a plan A, B, or C based on the weather.
- Gorgeous interior, with large, wide doorways downstairs and a hidden kitchen
- The porch area is wide enough to fit tables on with plenty of room to spare, and has four huge metal arches covered in wisteria going over it, like a private garden
- There is a ridiculous amount of free on-site parking
- Close enough to Baltimore to be within 15 minutes of pretty much whatever hotel you want to stay in
- Surrounded by flowers, flowering bushes, urns with flowers, flowering trees... you get the picture. No additional decorations were necessary.
- The staff was very friendly and professional, and had plenty of advice and suggestions to make everything as seamless and stress-free as possible.
CONS:
- You cannot choose your caterer, period. The caterer we chose, however (Dean and Brown) is fantastic and incredibly affordable (see my review of them)
- You have to pay extra for the rental of tables and chairs
- It's a bit hard to find at first
- Standard no-fire, no hanging, etc. historic mansion rules apply
Overall, if I could point to a reason that my wedding was absolutely flawless, it would all stem back to my choice of Liriodendron as my venue. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about it. -

Valerie Sent on 02/15/2011Ray and I only looked at one venue...the Liriodendron. We did choose a Friday night in January and found the cost to be wonderful since we were not looking to put a lot of money into a venue...but got the perfect venue at an amazing price. Dean and Brown are accepted vendors for the Lirio and knew it perfectly..this helped allow the night to flow so perfectly.
My Sister was married at the Lirio 27 years ago...it was just as amazing then as it is now. To walk down the spiral staircase to my waiting groom standing in front of the lit fireplace...we did not need to spend a lot of money on other decorations...we let the naturalness of the beauty and ambiance be our back drop.
Dorothy was wonderful to work with and I appreciated her assistance several times.
I would recommend the Lirio any time of the year...we had 40 guest and were married in the entrance hall in front of the fireplace...nothing could beat it for us!!!!
Thank you Lirio for just being yourself!!!! -
