Ostertag Vistas Reviews

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for our wedding, and we have the amazing people at Ostertag to thank for that. Donna Easterday worked meticulously with my wife, going over logistics and payment planning. Whether it was email, text or phone call, she made sure she was available. Our Day-Of Coordinator, Kim Schwartz, was a ROCKSTAR! The venue was beautiful on its own but her little touches made all the difference. From setup to break down, everything was handled flawlessly. Thank you again for making our wedding day unforgettable!

We just had our wedding at Ostertag Vistas, and it was absolutely incredible. The location is absolutely stunning, exactly what we wanted. We hired Donna Easterday, whose family owns the venue, to be our day of coordinator. She was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I’m so impressed by her professionalism and organizational skills… add this to the fact she has such a kind and helpful heart she made for the perfect person to support us during our day. Without her, our day wouldn’t have been the same. She made sure everything ran smoothly and it was the magical day we had dreamed of. She made sure all of the decorations were completed. She also made sure that during the wedding our guest book was signed, pictures were taken, favors were passed and so much more. There was so much more that Donna did to make our day flow smoothly and perfectly. We have absolutely no regrets in picking this location - it was everything we could have hoped for. It was affordable, beautiful, and we felt completely supported and cared for. Thank you, Donna, and family, for sharing your beautiful place with us and for an incredibly magical day - we are so incredibly thankful for ALL you did - we couldn’t have pulled off such a magical day without your help!

I (the bride) grew up going to this venue. It is a special and beautiful place. The grounds are absolutely beautiful with panoramic views of the farm. There are historic houses include a log cabin and stone house as well as a smoke house that you can see from the barn and use for photos or a ceremony location. The barn sides can be opened to see the grounds if you have good weather and makes for the perfect back drop for the most important night of your life with your spouse! One of the best things about this venue (besides its beauty and special place to me personally) is the ability for guests to spread out. There is space to socialize outside so you and your guests can visit with each other during the reception. Even better, you and your spouse have multiple opportunities for special moments for just the two of you. We went to the other side of the barn during cocktail hour for a quick few moments together and enjoyed eating our cake and taking breaks on the stairs off the back of the great room. These little moments are so important--our photographer even caught some of our moments while taking other pictures! It was truly a beautiful and perfect night. Donna and Wanda were accommodating and committed that our wedding was everything we had hoped for! Our wedding was everything we had hoped for and surpassed what we had expected to come together! You won't go wrong with this beautiful location, great owner, manager, and staff!

Donna our coordinator was perfect! The venue perfect

Last weekend, I had my wedding at Ostertag Vistas. I am so happy that I was lucky enough to find this gem in the backyard of Maryland. It is in a beautiful setting and I was so fortunate to be able to enjoy the landscape with great weather.

Donna, one of the owners set expectations right up front. The venue is not a coordinator and they require you to provide the caterer, DJ, etc. and make sure they are working together. She recommended using a caterer that has worked in the venue before and that is what we did. Everything went smoothly. Fonda was our coordinator and she was absolutely wonderful. The ceremony ended up starting late because of traffic issues and she was very accomodating. It turned out to be a bit buggy by the pond and last minute she put citronella torches up at the ceremony site.

My guests are still talking about how beautiful the grounds and barn is. Although the drive was a little long from Baltimore, when you arrive it feels like you stepped into another world and instantly you are relaxed. Thank you Donna and Fonda for making my day the best it could be! I can't wait to come back and visit.

We wanted a barn for our wedding venue. We loved Ostertag. The owners were great and very accomodating. It ended up raining and they had a beautiful backup for having our ceremony outside. Donna would respond quickly to any and all emails i sent her. Overall great experience!

We held our daughter’s wedding reception here in early December. The setting is lovely and very scenic. The barn interior is a warm and unique gathering place and our guests really enjoyed themselves there. Donna was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process - efficient, patient, and very professional.

Ostertag Vistas is absolutely incredible!! Donna was so welcoming and extremely helpful in helping us prepare for our special day. She showed us around their beautiful venue, made suggestions from their many years of having weddings at their location, and always responded quickly to any questions we had. Kim, our on site wedding coordinator, was an absolute delight to work with. She is awesome. She was everywhere and stepped in and helped out where she didn't need to. She definitely made things run so smoothly. Finally, we want to thank Mrs. Easterdays. I would have never thought an owner would actually come out and just make sure your day was so special. I learned after the reception that she doesn't miss a wedding at her venue. She was quietly everywhere. As we were looking at our photos, we noticed that Mrs. Easterdays peeping in during the ceremony. We were honored and thought it was so sweet she was there. We only wished we knew prior to our ceremony how much it means to her that her clients have an amazing time. If we had, we would have had her sit in on wedding ceremony.

Thank you so much Ostertag Vistas for allowing us to use your beautiful and historic property!!! It was an honor to get ready in your cottage and think of all the generations that had lived there.

I just wish we could give a higher rating!!! Do not go anywhere else other than Ostertag Vistas, especially for a wedding. THEY ARE TRULY INCREDIBLE!!

We had our wedding in October of this year. The venue is absolutely beautiful and there are so many options where you can hold the ceremony. We had about 70 guests. We had the ceremony on the patio and the reception in the barn. Donna and was the best to work with. She is knowledgeable, professional and efficient. I was so happy to have her throughout this process, she makes sure everything runs as smooth as possible. So happy to have created a memorable day at Ostertag Vistas.

Ostertag Vistas is a great place to have your wedding! The venue is breathtaking with multiple options for wedding sites and an inclement weather plan. It was so convenient to be able to have our ceremony outside on the beautiful patio and then stroll a few feet into the historic barn for our reception. Donna is patient and helpful with the planning process and was an awesome day of coordinator. My husband and I were beyond happy with our wedding day and would definitely use this venue again for future events! :)

I was over the moon with this venue! From day 1 to the day of wedding, everyone was beyond helpful. Any question I ever had throughout the planning process would get answered immediately! The venue itself it absolutely stunning, and would highly recommend this venue to everyone who is planning a wedding!

This venue was perfect for our wedding, it was beautiful and scenic. Donna was our Day of Coordinator and went up and beyond with her services. Since covid rules were lifted just a few weeks before our wedding, she was so accommodating with changing our plans. She helped our wedding day run very smoothly and also did an excellent job setting up the decorations we provided her. Also, since it was super hot, in the 90's the day of our wedding, she was sweet enough to let our dog, who was a part of our ceremony, be in the air conditioning in a room off to the side. I can't say enough how accommodating she was! I highly recommend Ostertag Vistas!

Ostertag Vistas was a stunningly beautiful venue which had all our guests in awe. The outdoor ceremony with rolling hills in every direction framed every shot. Then we had cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the large patio followed by a full meal and dancing in the barn. The barn had sparkling lights everywhere!!! It was so beautiful!

We also used Donna and Kim at Ostertag as wedding planners and and they were fantastic!

Ostertag Vistas was the only venue my husband and I toured because as soon as we went on the tour, we just knew it was the one. It is an absolutely breathtaking venue and only hosts one event a day so you have the place all to yourself. The barn itself is so picturesque and beautifully decorated. The grounds are well kept and everyone who works at Ostertag are just wonderful.

Donna was our day of coordinator and she is an absolute rockstar. I had some last minute changes and lots of big requests and she helped me whenever and wherever needed. On the big day, she kept everyone on schedule and helped guests from the ceremony site, to happy hour, to dinner and then dancing. She was a pleasure to work with and our day would not have been as perfect as it was without her.

Our wedding was absolutely stunning. It was everything I had ever dreamed of. All of our guests loved the venue and kept saying how much fun they were having. Ostertag Vistas was simply stunning!

We had an amazing November wedding at Ostertag Vistas. We had visited several other venues prior to finding Ostertag. We were thrilled with the value, the views, and the barn atmosphere that Ostertag offered. And, important to us, we could choose our caterer. Donna was great to work with and was very flexible with and accommodating to our plans. We were able to choose our own ceremony site, to have a horse and carriage, and to have a live band in the barn! Ostertag, along with Donna, provided the perfect venue for the best day ever!

I grew up down the road from ostertage for 13 years. I love the place and the fact that my dream came true of getting married there was a dream come true. I loved the idea of getting married in the back field. And being the first at that. It was worth it. Donnna easterday is the best person so work with and I loved it. The views, decor, and above all the place is and will always be beatiful.

As soon as I visited Ostertag Vistas for the first time, I fell in love. Our ceremony was in the woods - like a fairytale dream I've had since I was a kid - and the reception was in their gorgeous rustic barn. The reception area barely needed any decorating since it is already so beautiful! Donna was wonderful to work with throughout the whole planning process as our wedding coordinator, and very accommodating to our wishes. Our wedding day went so smoothly, and she was a huge part of that. Thank you so much!

This place was amazing. We hired Donna as our coordinator and it couldn't have gone smoother. Everyone loved the decor and scenery, and she made sure that our needs were attended to and that we had a stress free day. I would absolutely get married here again, and would highly recommend Donna as the day of coordinator for those who do. After all the stress of planning it was so nice to just go and enjoy ourselves. Overall a perfect day/experience.

Ostertag was great! They are very organized and very responsive. And most reasonably priced barn venue in the area. They were wonderful the day of as well. The barn is stunning and is already decorated, so extra decorations are barely needed. They have a beautiful indoor option for the ceremony, if it rains, which we ended up using. Their day-of coordinator (Kim) was absolutely wonderful and helped my personal coordinator out so much as well. I would definitely recommend them to everyone that I know and can't wait to hopefully visit them again for another wedding in the future!

I HIGHLY recommend Ostertag Vistas. We were married in November, and I am STILL reeling. Donna was incredible - she was very professional, and always responsive to my (many) inquiries. At the wedding, everyone had an incredible time, and the venue is absolutely stunning. The guests were all in praise of every location, from the ceremony on the patio with an amazing backdrop, to the stable for cocktail hour (which provided much-welcome warmth and a cozy setting), to the INCREDIBLE reception in the main barn. I would do it all over again if I could and would not change a thing! It was a perfect day, and I am so glad we chose Ostertag for our venue.

We were very happy with our daughter's wedding at Ostertag Vistas! Donna Easterday is a true professional and was so easy to work with. The venue was clean and beautiful and everything went off without a hitch.

I was just married here on 09/10/16 and it was a wonderful experience! My father, a very detailed man, was extremely satisfied with the coordination and thoughtfulness of the Ostertag team. Their recommendations for vendors were superb. We booked the horse carriage that they offer and the guests were amazed and the experience of riding down with my father was made more memorable. The barn is absolutely gorgeous at night with the lights glimmering. Donna and our coordinator Terri were amazing and made the entire evening run smoothly. I highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants a romantic and rustic wedding!

Ostertag Vistas was the perfect setting for my daughter's wedding. It was absolutely beautiful. We looked at MANY venues before settling on Ostertag and I don't regret it for a minute. Donna was extremely helpful with the many questions I had throughout the many months of planning!! She always got right back to me and was very reassuring. She took so much stress off of me as the mother of the bride. I would highly recommend paying the little extra for the "Day of Coordinator" as it is worth every cent. I would highly recommend Ostertag Vistas for not only the beauty of the venue, but for the professional and accommodating staff.

Ostertag is simply wonderful. The venue itself is beautiful. The staff is very helpful and kept our wedding day flowing smoothly without any stress. They are very good and responding to calls and emails quickly. HIGHLY recommend this venue!! Its Pinterest perfect.
