    Harford County’s Best Barn Venue!

    We loved the barn and property from the moment we arrived for our walkthrough. The beautiful wood, rustic feel, original stone, and beautiful scenery.

    The barn has two levels which allows for separation of different parts of your wedding and reception. It also brings people out of their seats and onto the dance floor after dinner!

    Shana and Dean were amazing to work with and so accommodating each and every visit we had leading up to our big day.

    All of our guests loved the venue and commented on it throughout the night.

    We had the perfect day and recommended this venue to anyone looking for a true barn venue in Maryland.

    Vineyards of Mary's Meadow's reply:

    Thank you Erin! Your wedding was so great, thank you so much for the kind words. We are glad you enjoyed everything!

    Best barn wedding venue you'll find!

    The Vineyards of Mary's Meadow is an absolute gem!  It's a perfect place to have a wedding, the scenery is gorgeous and the barn stunning.  The venue offers two floors for guests to enjoy, the upstairs is all wood beams that look awesome and the downstairs is all original stone that is one of a kind.  We got complements all night about this venue and it really was perfect for us.  The owners are seriously some of the nicest people we've ever met, they are so accommodating and their rules are fair.  The two floors with the back patio really make this the perfect set up for a wedding.  If they have an opening, we highly recommend touring this venue and booking it if you can!  We highly, highly recommend checking this venue out - you wont be disappointed!

    Amazingly Beautiful Venue

    Everything about our wedding day was perfect. Shana was very responsive from the moment we booked the venue. The barn is absolutely beautiful! The two floors of the barn allow for a separate space for cocktail hour and reception. I am so happy we chose to share our day at the Vineyard's of Mary's Meadows!

    Absolutely amazing!

    My husband Ian and I got married here in June! From the minute we saw the venue we fell in love with it- the big open spaces, the multiple floors that accommodated all of our guests and provided a relaxed and enjoyable environment. The venue/property is kept in pristine condition and is absolutely beautiful. The vineyard was a perfect setting for our relaxed rustic theme. Shana and Dean were more than accommodating and made sure our wedding day went smoothly. They gave us plenty of helpful suggestions and worked well with all of our vendors we had for our big day. We definitely recommend this venue- our day could not have been more perfect.

    The Vineyards at Mary's Meadow is the most beautiful venue. We had our wedding reception here this past weekend and it was the more beautiful and perfect then I imagined. The landscaping is perfect, the upstairs and downstairs of the barn work perfectly for a wedding. We used the upstairs for dinner and the downstairs for cocktails, cake, and dancing. Thankfully the weather was great and we were also able to use the outside patio.

    This venue is worth every penny. It was everything I was looking for, for a rustic fall themed wedding. The owners were accommodating with all needs I had. I was able to come many times before the wedding to sketch out how I would want everything. Other venues they rushed you out that night so they can get ready for the next wedding. It was nice to have the whole weekend to set up, have rehearsal, have the wedding, and come back the NEXT day to gather everything. Absolutely worth every penny, not to mention gorgeous pictures from our day because of the setting.

    This venue is amazing! It was perfect for our wine themed wedding and the guests loved the location. Shana is great, very easy to get in touch with and is very flexible. I would recommend this venue for anyone looking for a barn/wine/farm/rustic wedding!

    Everything was amazing this past weekend! Shana was great, as were the gentlemen working to get the property ready for our event. All of our guests loved the openness of the venue and how cool it was even though it was Mid-August! I hope I get to go back again for a wedding as a guest one day!

    We considered all kinds of venues for our wedding and are so glad we picked VMM. Some couples go one place for photos, another place for the ceremony, and another for the reception. This was our ideal setting for all three, with the fence and storage building being some of our favorite photo backdrops, the field down the hill from the patio hosting the ceremony, the basement and patio hosting cocktail hour, and the upstairs of the barn hosting dinner and dancing. VMM exudes a refined rusticness that fit our style and the atmosphere we wanted to create for our guests. And that it's a working vineyard added a sense of authenticity not felt at barn wedding venues that exclusively host events. The rebuilt barn, done with old-fashioned techniques, on top of the original stone foundation, is VMM's signature. As splendid as it is in pictures, it's even better in person. Though the property's slope wasn't ideal for less abled guests (a cognizant tradeoff on our part, that the venue helped accommodate by providing a Gator ATV and driver), overall, the venue's function matched its form, providing a comfortable, but still intimate environment for our relatively small party of 55 guests; with the barn not air-conditioned, the near-perfect 70-degree weather certainly helped, but we're confident the venue's fans and cross ventilated windows could have kept things cool enough with the mercury 10 degrees higher. We went back and forth on whether to have dancing downstairs or upstairs. Downstairs probably would have been a bit cooler and had a hipper, clubbier feel, but upstairs was a blast — stomping on the wood floor created an infectious energy and not having to relocate from dinner got the dancing going sooner. A final perk to mention is that our rental fee booked the venue for the entire weekend, allowing us ample time to rehearse and set up decorations the night before and giving us the next morning to take things down, though we ended up not needing it.

    We had our wedding at Mary's Meadow this past weekend. The setting is absolutely beautiful and it looked incredible on our wedding day. Shana and Dean were so welcoming, kind and easy to communicate with as we were planning the wedding. We received so many compliments on the venue from our guests. The barn and old tractor were awesome backdrops for our photos. There was plenty of space for our guests for our cocktail hour and dinner/dancing. We would recommend having your wedding at Mary's Meadow!

    No heat or a/c

    I attended a wedding this past weekend. It was abnormally cold for May. It being 2 levels made it difficult for an elderly person to travel 2 flights of steps to go from cocktail hour to dinner on the second level and back to the ground level for the reception. During dinner everyone had to wear their coats and most left early because of the cold. This venue has no heat or a/c. It was a task trying to stay warm all night.

    Vineyards of Mary's Meadow's reply:

    Hi Nancy! Thanks for the review. We are in fact a bank barn, so by definition, that is two levels (and we advertise as such). Most brides and grooms find this to be ideal since we have several separate spaces for each formal aspect of a wedding and reception. Should anyone have any issues moving from one location to the next, accommodations can be made, and have been made several times in the past. As you heard during the ceremony, the bride’s great grandparents owned this farm, her grandparents got married here, as have several other family members with the bride and groom in attendance so there was a great deal of sentiment all night. Also, you’re totally right about not being able to predict the weather! Heaters and chillers can be (and have been) rented should that be something of interest to whoever rents our barn. Should anyone have similar concerns, the above mitigations can be discussed.
