Great team, flawless execution

Our wedding day was flawless thanks to the team at Catoctin Hall at Musket Ridge Golf Club.

We knew Musket Ridge was the venue for us from our first meeting with Melody. We were fresh off a tour of a pretentious venue that was making us jump through so many hoops even before we saw a contract. Our first meeting with Melody was a breath of fresh air! We enjoyed how friendly and down-to-earth she was, and left feeling like she was just as excited to work with us as we were to work with her. And, of course, that first view of the mountains as we walked out the clubhouse doors just blew us away.

There were many touches that told us Musket Ridge was all about creating a great experience for their brides and grooms. I liked that there was a covered outdoor option should it rain (we’re so glad it didn’t!), because we could still have that gorgeous mountain backdrop for our ceremony – but even more, I liked that we could make the call to shift to our rain back-up on that day. That flexibility is so important! We loved that a take-home entrée was included for each of us; you always hear that brides and grooms never get a chance to eat. We were able to enjoy our entrees there, but it was awesome getting to enjoy the second one the evening after our wedding.

Working with Susie was a breeze. As an event planner myself, I knew it would be hard to turn that part off and just be the bride, but I knew our wedding was in great hands with Susie. I loved that we were able to work on wedding details collaboratively to create the perfect experience for our guests. She was such a pleasure to work with in the months leading up to our wedding.

Viki did an amazing job running the show on our wedding day. One of my guests commented that you hardly noticed she was there but every time they saw her she really had her finger on the pulse. I was fascinated watching Viki and the banquet staff execute dinner. It was like watching a well-choreographed ballet! All the team were just so friendly. Having worked in the industry I know how exhausting wedding season can be, but everyone was just so upbeat and seemed like they enjoyed working there. Our bridal attendant Bev was fantastic.

The food was so delicious! The Chef seemed really passionate about his craft and it showed in the final product. We received many compliments from guests on how delicious the food was. The "moonlight menu" was an awesome touch - our guests loved getting a late-night soft pretzel!

This venue is absolutely gorgeous and this team was an absolute delight to work with. I highly recommend them!

The Most Perfect Day We Could Have Asked For!

Our wedding in May was the most wonderful experience thanks to Catoctin Hall! Viki was our day of coordinator and she, alongside the team, did everything. We truly did not have to lift a finger. One of the biggest selling points for us in choosing this venue was that there was a team already in place. The food was incredible, the bar tenders were fast, and the wait staff were so sweet and polite.

Another large selling point was obviously how gorgeous the venue itself is. The views are stunning, and the ceremony space took our breath away the first time we saw it. On our wedding day, it was forecasted to rain. After some back and forth we decided to go for it and have the ceremony outside. The team then ran around making sure everything was ready. They had umbrellas on hand just in case, golf carts to get people back up to the hall quickly and had everyone in their seats by 5:00 on the dot. Our ceremony ended and we got everyone up to cocktail hour before it started raining buckets. If we had been 5 minutes behind it would have rained on everyone. But Viki was so on top of everything that it ended up timing perfectly!

I could go on and on about them because we could not have asked for a better experience. Our guests are still raving about how amazing everything was. The team made our day so special, and we will always be grateful!

Stunning Venue with Excellent Service

My April 2023 wedding was what I had always dreamed of thanks to Catoctin Hall at Musket Ridge. The views are stunning with so many different options for portraits. The natural beauty of the venue and ceremony site (think lots of gorgeous flowers!) also meant less legwork for our florist, and less cost for us. But what sold us was the rain backup plans. They not only have the indoor ceremony option, but they have a large covered patio that's a perfect option for those moderate rainy days--but that still allows for gorgeous views.
The venue also has updated amenities with new flooring and twinkle lights on the large patio for cocktail hour. We also made use of both the groom and bridal suites, which worked perfect for us.
Catoctin provides both food and alcohol which made everything so easy for us. With the bar package we chose, we were able to do signature drinks at no extra cost as well as select some of our preferred draft beers! The food was also really fun and delicious with big portions which guests appreciated.
The event coordinator Viki was wonderful, always remembered everything we had gone over--no matter how flustered I was in my communication! She made herself easily available and ultimately I knew she wanted the wedding to be the best it could be. When we mentioned the idea of bringing my husband's parents to the venue so they could see it, she made herself available that day and even provided a mini-walkthrough for them. I was especially appreciative of Viki and the staff's excellent help after the wedding during cleanup. We were prepared to stay and help gather leftover items, gifts, etc. But by the time the lights came on, practically everything had already been done for us.
Also, I very much appreciated their vendor list. We couldn't use them all, but the ones we did use were excellent and I think that reflected highly on Catoctin as well.
The tour was also easily the best tour I had in venue hunting. The Sales Manager Melody was professional and prepared and provided a personalized tour, pictures on iPad included, so that we could really envision the entire wedding. She absolutely sold the venue for us and we knew we'd only be working with great people.
We were also provided a dedicated bridal attendant which was something I never knew I needed! The only reason I ate or drank anything that day is because of the lovely attendant who was always looking out for me :)
Catoctin Hall and Viki made everything easy and elegant. The staff clearly knows what works best for weddings and is dedicated to taking the hard work away from the couple in the lead up to, and day of the wedding. I can absolutely 10/10 recommend!

Having worked with Musket Ridge for almost 8 years, it is a personal favorite. Surrounded by the mountains, views inside Catoctin Hall as well as outside on the grounds are exceptional, the staff is professional and always accomodating, and working with Bonnie is always a pleasure.

Catoctin Hall is a gorgeous venue that has a lot of open space yet still remains warm and intimate. The stunning vistas are another great plus but the real assets are the people. Bonnie and Jay Jay are proffesionals who I would trust with my own wedding.
