FAQ’S ABOUT THE

Best MARYLAND Wedding Venues

FROM A MARYLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

They are so many venues in MARYLAND! How do I pick one?

First, you need to have a budget. What percentage of your wedding budget can you allocate to this? Maryland wedding venue costs range from less than $1000 to $50.000 so once you know how much you can spend, you will be able to narrow down your possibilities.

Then you need to think about the season. Are you getting married during the spring, the hot summer, or the cold winter? Depending on the potential weather, that will help you choose a venue that can accommodate your outdoor or indoor wedding.

At last, depending on if you are planning a large wedding or a small ceremony, this will help you to target your ideal venue. Many historic venues can only have between 50 and 80 guests so these would definitely not be for you if you want a big wedding.

How do I choose the perfect location?

Location is everything in Maryland. Do you want to be close to the beach or have a rustic wedding? Or you’d rather be surrounded by a vineyard and drink wine made at your wedding venue? There is no right answer, it depends on what you want for your guests and the theme of your wedding.
