Kate Sent on 12/28/2024Dream wedding weekend
Everything about the Vandiver Inn exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a stress free wedding — this is the place to do it! Leading up to wedding weekend, we met with Ashley to go over menus, decor, and other details.
Our entire wedding party and immediate family stayed onsite with us for the entire weekend. We had our rehearsal dinner that Friday night (food, desserts, drinks were a 10 out of 10). At the end of the rehearsal, I began setting up for the ceremony the next day. Ashley came over to me to see what I had in mind and told me to go enjoy my evening and that she would take care of everything. “This is what I love to do.”
Saturday morning, my wedding party was able to eat breakfast together and start getting ready for the big day. Between hair, makeup, and photos, I didn’t have a chance to peek into the venue space, which made walking down the aisle even more special. Ashley blew me away. I had an idea of how I wanted things decorated, but she knocked it out of the park. Through out the evening, she continued to check in with me, my husband, and our parents to see if we needed anything. Once the party was over, everything was packed up and ready for us to load the car up Sunday morning. We didn’t have to lift a finger the entire weekend. Oh and the FOOD. Everything was delicious! We are still receiving compliments about the menu a month later. We cannot recommend the Vandiver Inn enough!! -

Beautiful Venue Exceptional Food
Everything was perfect, from the initial meeting to the wedding day. Excellent communication and professional service. Our guests still talk about how much they enjoyed the accommodations and food. From our names on the marquee out front to the food waiting for us in the bridal suite at the end of the night, it was the perfect wedding day. -

Gregory Sent on 12/17/2024Flawless Execution of Wedding Day Plans
Enjoyed our beautiful wedding day at the Vandiver Inn. The entire event from the planning stage, to the execution, and the wrap-up was flawless. The staff was beyond approachable with all of our request and needs. Attentive to the changes that happen with an event of this scale. The facilities are so unique that over and over again our attendees pointed out how amazed they were and continue to remind us how the evening and event was and is one most memorable to them.
The Vandiver Inn delivered on all fronts, from the lodging of out of towner's, most delicious food courses, and overall event space.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for space to host their next event. -

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. -

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! -

Meghan Sent on 12/16/2024Unique and amazing venue
If you are looking for a beautiful unique wedding venue that will wow your guests there’s no better choice than the Vandiver. Courtney and the entire staff were so easy to work with throughout the entire process. They took care of everything beautifully and handled any details I had forgotten perfectly. We fully got to just enjoy our wedding day while the staff handled everything perfectly behind the scenes. They were also more than happy to work with us to create a vegan menu for the day and listened to all our ideas. We also loved having our guest stay at the venue. It really created an intimate experience. Every guest absolutely loved the venue and atmosphere. -

Perfect venue for the perfect day!
The Vandiver Inn was the best place for our wedding. We had a wonderful ceremony and celebration. Everything was set up so beautiful, and our coordinator was so perfect leaving up to and the day of the event. We had family stay at the Inn, and myself and the bridal party got ready there the morning of. It truly was the best day and everything went so smoothly thanks to everyone there. The people and the food were wonderful! I'm so glad we went with the Vandiver for our big day. -

Natalie Sent on 10/30/2024July Wedding
For the moment we walked in to tour The Vandiver Inn, we were met with kindness, competency, and good vibes. The venue itself is beautiful and tastefully decorated (not too much, not too little) and has a variety of options to help make your special day perfect. We got married in July (lovely Maryland heat and humidity) and were able to decide on an indoor or outdoor ceremony the week of our wedding. This flexibility helped us ensure all our guests were comfortable. We opted to do the indoor route in the pavilion. Courtney and the Vandiver crew ensured all our decor was set up and looked beautiful. The space was then quickly reset for our reception while our guests enjoyed a lovely indoor/outdoor cocktail hour in the gardens and main mansion.
Courtney, the owners, and all the other staff prioritized taking any and all stress of the bridge and groom along with their families. The reason I chosen the Vandiver Inn was due to the amazing staff and their ability to effortlessly manage so many elements of the wedding and planning process. We thoroughly enjoyed participating in the tastings with other Vandiver couples and meeting with Courtney to discuss and finalize wedding details. Courtney’s organizational skills and collaboration without other vendors ensured we had minimal stress on our wedding day and were able to enjoy ourselves. The food is absolutely delicious and there are so many options to suit every palette. Having the ability to stay at the venue was incredibly convenient for us and all the out of town guests. The rooms are nicely decorated and the breakfast included is phenomenal. It was a nice way to end the weekend by having brunch the morning after with out families. In the end, our wedding came together better than I could have ever imagined and it’s is all thanks to Courtney, Ken, Susan, and the other staff and vendors who helped a very type B bride pull it off. -

Amy C. Sent on 03/01/2024Highly Recommend!
Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to John and Susan Muldoon from Vandiver Inn in Havre de Grace, MD! Being in the catering business ourselves, selecting them was a no-brainer. We couldn't have imagined anyone else better suited to coordinate, provide the meal, and handle the details with such expertise and care!
John's impeccable coordination ensured that everything ran seamlessly, paying close attention to every detail and bringing our vision to life exactly as we imagined. Susan's culinary expertise shone through in the unforgettable dishes prepared for our guests, despite the sweltering heat. The food was impeccable, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it – they’re still talking about it!
We understand and appreciate the hard work that went into making our day truly wonderful! John and Susan surpassed all expectations, ensuring that every detail of our wedding day was nothing short of perfection. We are sincerely grateful for your friendship and generosity! -

We had our wedding at The Vandiver Inn. We can't recommend this venue more. We were in excellent hands, they helped make everything easy, and the wedding went off without a hitch. We can't recommend the Vandiver Staff enough. They're very passionate and fun, it's rare to see so many enjoy their job so much.
The food was incredible, the rooms were awesome. Everything was perfect and if you're thinking about having an event here you should do it.Vandiver Inn's reply:

Grace Sent on 12/29/2021Fantastic Wedding Venue
We had a phenomenal experience with the Vandiver. We had originally planned to get married in fall 2020, which did not happen for obvious reasons. The Vandiver was so good at adapting to the changes and ever-evolving circumstances of the pandemic and helping us pull off a safe and magical event in 2021.
One of the best things about working with Ash and everyone at the Vandiver was how smoothly everything went on the day of the wedding. We didn't have to worry about anything. Everyone was so good at what they do and knew exactly what needed to happen and when.
The food was divine, from the appetizers to the entrees. Our guests raved about it.
The pavilion was perfect for a well-ventilated reception. It was the perfect atmosphere for mingling, and the garden was great for people who wanted to take a break from dancing.
I highly recommend having your wedding at the Vandiver! -

Vandiver was the perfect historic venue for us. Pricing is straight forward and clear, they handle catering, alcohol, set up, and take down.

Let me just say, the value for the price of this gorgeous mansion is just amazing. The venue itself is quiet and quaint and maintained absolutely beautifully!! The food and the cake were delicious! They have so many options to chose from! Ashley was our wedding coordinator and she was a godsend. She put our decorations out, set everything up, made sure everything was just the way we wanted it. She made sure everything went to plan, kept us all calm and organized. Overall, it was the best day ever and the Vandiver made it fantastic! -
