Swan Harbor Farm Reviews

We absolutely LOVE Swan Harbor Farm! We knew we wanted to get married here as soon as we saw it. The team that work at SHF are AMAZING and so helpful. Could not recommend more!

Hands down the prettiest venue in the world! The staff was amazing and very good at communicating with us the entire way!

Great service.
COVID prepared.
Beautiful land. Well-maintained.
Meets every style: Red barn, open green field, willow trees, soy/corn fields, garden, manor house for getting ready, outside tent for covered reception... It has it all.

My day was absolutely beautiful!
The staff was very responsive in the weeks leading up to the wedding and answered all of my Mom’s questions. Gave us great referrals for other vendors. Drove us down to the water in the golf cart. Helped keep us on schedule...

Best staff & outdoor venue!

My fiance and I went to tour Swan Harbor Farm and it is beautiful! The responsiveness was fast and we had all of our questions answered! Swan Harbor would have been a great choice if my fiance and I hadn't chosen to go with a destination wedding. Note for brides: The walk from the tent and building to the water would be rather far if you have elderly or disabled individuals at your wedding, however the view from the lawn is just as lovely and much closer to the reception area!

Swan Harbor was so helpful from the first day we did a site visit. Terri was super responsive to all my questions and they even worked with me becaus I had a lot of rentals coming to the venue so the companies could all get there at the needed times. If you just look at the venue you will love the openness and beautiful views from all over! I am beyond excited this is the venue we used!

I don't even know where to start. My day was absolutely perfect. Everything started with Terri Glenn, During my planning process she never hesitated to email me back and was able to answer any last minute questions i had. The weather was perfect and the staff was wonderful and that view! I highly recommend Swan Harbor Farm to anyone!

Swan Harbor was a dream venue come true for my now husband and I. After visiting a few venues and then seeing Swan Harbor, we fell in love. It has the perfect rustic setting from the historic property to the waterfront view, it doesn't get much better than that! Staff always responded to any questions I called or emailed about quickly and were always so nice and accommodating. I've recommended them to so many couples since our wedding, two of which who have now chosen this venue! It doesn't matter how the weather is, the multiple scenery opportunities on the property will provide you with amazing pictures and memories of a lifetime. We were blessed with a beautiful 70 degree September fall day without a cloud in the sky but even if it had rained we would have had the new tent to have the ceremony and reception under.

They provided a beautiful landscape for our reception.

Couldn't have found a more perfect place to get married!

We had a 150 person wedding at Swan Harbor Farm in September 2012. We absolutely loved it. The grounds are beautiful. The staff was a pleasure to deal with. They were extremely professional and knew what they were doing. It's a little pricey, but it's worth every penny. The rental includes use of the house (for getting ready, cocktail hour, etc), the tent (which was more than large enough for our 150 person wedding, has adequate lighting, has a brick floor so the dance floor is a large as you want it to be, and side flaps for the tent in case of rain and wind), and tables and chairs are provided as well. We "double-booked" our Saturday evening wedding, meaning we paid extra so there wasn't a Saturday morning wedding before ours. This allowed us to have use of the property from 1pm - 2am, so the girls were able to take their time getting ready in the house beforehand. It also gave us plenty of time to set up decorations. If your budget allows, I would recommend double-booking.

Swan Harbor Farm is beautiful!!! I had my ceremony and reception at Swan Harbor and could not be happier with my selection. The setting is perfect for a wedding, the Chesapeake Bay is a gorgeous backdrop for photos. The large tent with the brick flooring for the reception is perfect for a wedding. The home itself is historical and no-one can deny its charm. Karen (the wedding coordinator) is sweet, receptive and professional. She was always willing to help with any details or questions. My guests were amazed at the beauty of Swan Harbor...and so was I.

My husband and I were married on 6.10.11 at swan harbor farm. We worked with Karen Tegges during the planning process and she was wonderful to work with. The property is owned by Harford County so they definitely make strides to maintain the integrity of the property. The grounds were beautiful the staff was delightful and accomodating. They have done so many events and you can tell by the staffs experience and how they handle you and your guests. We worked with Atlantic Caterers who is also fabulous and they are preferred caterer of Swan Harbor farm. The venue has a full kitchen which also makes it great for whichever caterer you may use. It was a lovely event and Swan Harbor Farm was eveyrthing we hoped for and more.

My husband and I could not have been happier with Swan Harbor Farm! We had the best experience there. Everyone there is wonderful to work with and made the entire process so easy for us. The venue is absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend Swan Harbor to future brides! You will not be disappointed!

I honestly couldn't have found a better place to have my wedding! The staff was amazing, and I loved knowing that I could (try to) sit back and relax and know that everything would go smoothly. The house and the water make the perfect backdrop for an outdoor wedding, and you're able to have some shade by having the ceremony under the beautiful, large tree. You should definitely check out Swan Harbor if you want an outdoor wedding!

We had our wedding at Swan Harbor in late October 2022 and it was wonderful. Terri and Diane were extremely helpful, responsive, and kind throughout the entire planning process (and I had a lot of questions from beginning to end). The venue offers a beautiful sprawling space for small or large weddings, and the tent being included was an added bonus. We used both the front and back of the house for our cocktail hour and got married under the gorgeous tree overlooking the Bay. Another reason we loved Swan Harbor is that we felt like this venue offered us the ability to make our wedding truly unique and bring in aspects that we wouldn't have been able to do at an all-inclusive venue. There are trade-offs to this, as working with additional vendors and rental companies can add onto the budget and create for some additional challenges/coordination leading up to the big day, but it was important to us that we had a wedding that brought in different aspects of our relationship and families. We also really loved that we could add on hours to the day (for an additional cost that will be written into the contract). That allowed the guys to go earlier in the day to get ready and then have an extended reception, which often wasn't offered at other venues.

All in all, we loved our experience with Terri and Diane and the rest of the Swan Harbor team, and would recommend this venue to friends and family in the future! They went above and beyond in making sure everything was squared away. Thank you for helping to make our vision for our big day become a reality!

Can’t say enough good things about this venue! It is absolutely stunning and our guests are still calling to tell me how beautiful it was, two weeks later! Terri was extremely helpful and responsive, and they were as flexible as they could be with our requests! Made our day magical!

I love this venue, it effortlessly created the perfect setting for our wedding! Terri and the entire staff are welcoming and friendly! Even when we had to postpone because of Covid - they were responsive and understanding! The air-conditioned farmhouse really sealed the deal because I knew my guests would be comfortable and have access to real bathrooms. And there are SO many places to get the perfect photos of your day! Would highly reccomend it!

I have always loved Swan Harbor and was lucky enough to have our reception there! Beautiful bayside venue with a constant breeze to keep the tent cool!

Swan Harbor staff were so friendly and accommodating, they all ensured that our day went as planned. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, landscaping is thoroughly managed, and the house/ tent area set a vintage/timeless ambiance. Sophisticated yet charming, the view alone encompasses numerous willow trees, water/dock, well manicured lawn and an enormous Kentucky coffee tree. Our wedding was breathtakingly perfect, couldn't have asked for a better venue. My Husband and I want to thank you so much Swan Harbor! you made our day so special! From the golf cart rides to the water and back, to the friendly and most helpful staff.

Swan harbor is a beautiful venue! We fell in love the second we went and stepped onto their grass. Their staff was incredibly helpful and organized. I would absolutely recommend them to my friends and family!

This is the Second Wedding we have had at Swan Harbor. The staff are so easy to work with. They made all
things work out for us. It's a lovely view! Great new canopy! Just gorgeous! Yes, there are chandleliers! New
brick work/paving for the entire tented area and it's larger! Yes, we had rain this past August and the sides
came down. Perfect! Love the house! Love the grounds! Perfect setting for the Rehearsal Dinner as well!
Will recommend Swan Harbor to anyone.

The most beautiful day was spent at Swan Harbor! We double booked the venue and we loved having the house to get ready at before the ceremony. The staff is so friendly and everything is perfect!!

The scenery and view here is amazing! That was exactly what we were looking for in a venue.

Our wedding was in September and we could not have been happier with our choice in venue. The staff was amazing to work with and was always available to answer any questions we had throughout our planning process. On the day of our event, the staff was there upon arrival to help direct guests to the appropriate spots. Throughout the event the staff was basically hidden in plain sight, meaning the staff was available to you if needed, but they were off to the side waiting to help in any way. Our wedding day was a cloudy, windy day, but the venue was gorgeously maintained and the views it offers are second to none. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

This venue is so beautiful. I had my wedding here in September. The staff was so helpful and nice. I had a beautiful day with amazing weather. I would highly recommend this venue to other Brides.
