I couldn't have gone with a better venue than Linganore Winecellars! From the first point of contact, Mary Beth was extremely responsive in scheduling a time for me to come see the venue as well as get together all of the paperwork that was necessary to book the place! When I walked in for my first tasting, the venue itself was breathtaking!! The ceremony area was gorgeous, overlooking the vineyards and the reception hall was beautiful!! Karen, the venue coordinator, was absolutely amazing with accommodating every single one of my needs all the way up to the wedding day itself! Through countless changes and updates on our plan, Karen was there responding quickly to every single one of our requests as well as giving insight! I honestly don't know how my wedding would have turned out if it wasn't for Karen!!! The staff at Linganore was absolutely amazing as well! Everyone is so sweet and helpful, they were an absolute pleasure to work with even when I was stressing out trying to keep thi... Read morengs in order! Lastly, THEIR WINE IS AMAZING!!! My spouse and I regularly drive an hour away just to be able to buy a couple of bottles of their Black Raven and Mango Sangria! This is hands down the best venue I could've chosen and I am so grateful to have had my wedding at Linganore Winecellars!!

When we first looked at venues, Linganore Winecellars stood out immediately: the rolling hills and stunning views of the vineyard and spacious yet intimate indoor venue were to die for and perfectly captured the warm, rustic-glam vibe we were looking for. Additionally, Linganore's exclusive caterer Fine Cuisine Dining was delicious and Linganore's wines are top notch, so we knew our guests would be well taken care of in the food and beverage department. Sadly our April 2020 wedding had to be postponed until May 2022 due to COVID-19, so in the meantime we held a very small elopement ceremony on the property in June. We are very thankful to Mary Beth Davis and Karen Pennington for not only being incredibly easy to work with and responsive throughout the wedding planning experience, but also flexible and accommodating in a very uncertain and anxiety inducing time.

My husband and I had an amazing wedding at Linganore Winecellars! The venue is beautiful and the staff was amazing! Our guests raved about everything from the view to the wine to the food! It was an amazing day at Linganore!

I knew Linganore was going to be high on my list for venues after coming to a tasting there. The space had so much room and was beautiful! The view was amazing and had lots of room for activities. The staff was great as well!

Love the venue! The staff were extremely helpful! Everyone enjoyed the wedding!

Linganore is great. The people that we dealt with are super helpful and responsive, especially Karen P. The wine is good and all our guests seemed to enjoy themselves. We had about 120 people and it seemed like there was plenty of room.

We loved Linganore Winecellars for our wedding venue. We opted for having an indoor ceremony and reception because of the heat of August. The Abisso Hall there is like a modern barn. It has extraordinary woodwork and beams and a beautiful floor. It's rustic yet with all the modern conveniences of air conditioning and elegant lighting. Plus you have access to use the rest of the venue for your ceremony and pictures etc. The venue event coordinator, Karen, was extremely kind and detail oriented and helped us to think of things we may have forgotten. I would highly recommend Linganore Winecellars for a wedding and we look forward to returning in the near future to simply enjoy one of their delicious wines or beers!

Linganore was the most dreamy wedding venue and the biggest value for a wedding! The grounds and reception area are naturally gorgeous so limited decorations were needed. MaryBeth and Karen were both very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They were quick in responding with any questions we had and made wedding planning a breeze. The packages available for food made it so there were options for each budget. I loved every second of planning my wedding thanks to the folks at Linganore and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our big day!

I cannot say enough about the staff at Linganore Winecellars. Mary Beth was so helpful and answered all of my questions throughout the entire process. I planned my wedding from out of state and Mary Beth promptly and thoroughly answered all of my questions (as ridiculous as they were!) On the day of the wedding, we booked the bridal suite to get ready. It comfortably fit 9 people and 2 hair and makeup artists. It had a lot of natural light so our getting ready pictures were beautiful. The venue itself was absolutely stunning. Guests raved about the food, drinks, and the rolling hills. Many said it was the most beautiful venue they had ever seen! We feel so blessed to have had our wedding at Linganore and we are forever grateful to the staff at Linganore for helping turn our dreams into reality!

Overall the experience was amazing! I absolutely love the outdoor wedding experience. They were able to accommodate my wedding of 35 guest in a room that was perfect size. The personalized wine labels were perfect. The only downfall with my whole experience was with the contact I had for the wine labels was not responsive to my emails. The venue surpassed my expectations.

We had our wedding at Linganore a few weeks ago, and it was a perfect day. We highly recommend this venue but want to note a few drawbacks that ultimately did not take away from our experience on the actual wedding day. Location: The outdoor space overlooking the vineyard is beautiful. We got married on August 31, and the weather was just right for this location. Be aware that guests of the winery will be on the grounds during your event but will be limited to the lower half near the brewery. The indoor space is really great too - it has a classy, rustic feel and looks great before and after adding decorations. The additional private deck, which is rather new, provided an outdoor space for games and drinks during the reception. We should also note that this is a remote location, and there weren’t many hotel options available for guests who needed it. We rented a shuttle bus to bring our guests from a distant hotel and back at the end of the night. Amenities: One downside is tha... Read moret you have to use one specific catering company (Fine Cuisine), and you can only have a plated dinner (non-buffet) if your party is 65 people or less. However, the catering/buffet was excellent, including service during the reception. Linganore, of course, has a variety of beer and wine (no liquor allowed) to suit just about every taste. Staff: Our initial contact with Linganore was through Mary Beth, Linganore's private event salesperson. We never actually met her in person, but we were provided with a venue coordinator, Karen, who walked us through every step of the planning process in detail. I cannot stress enough how much we appreciated working with Karen - her personal, caring attitude towards our event made us feel like we were her top priority. On the actual day, she was there early to receive items we needed to drop off, and she was there later in the day to make sure everything was in place for the ceremony and reception. Karen added so much to our experience at Linganore - it would not have been the same without her. Other staff members were friendly as well. Restrictions: Really, the only issues we had with the venue (and again, these did not ruin any part of our day) were the restrictions. Linganore does not allow you to drop off items the night before, so we had to drive 45 minutes on the morning of the wedding to drop off programs, dessert, deck games (cornhole and giant Jenga), and centerpieces. That made for a rushed morning, but it all worked out. Linganore does not allow you to hang your own lights in the reception hall, but you can get a company to do it - we skipped this due to high cost (it also wasn't that necessary - the lighting provided is sufficient). Since the property is not closed off to other non-wedding guests, we had onlookers during our photo sessions, but it wasn't a big deal. Also, there was some disagreement between management and the venue coordinator about how involved she could be and for what duration of the day. We found this odd, since Karen was one of the main elements that made our day so successful and smooth. Overall: We highly recommend Linganore based on its aesthetic, amenities, and venue coordinator. As long as you don't mind the restrictions, it's a perfect place to celebrate the start of your marriage journey.

Our wedding day at Linganore Winecellars was perfect- and what wasn't perfect didn't seem to matter much in the end. We lucked out with the weather but if you are looking for an outdoor vineyard wedding- this is a gorgeous place. The winery and tasting room will also most likely be open to the public during your event. This didn't turn out being an issue for us. The ceremony location is around back and they do their best to discourage onlookers although, I guess, it could happen. Cocktail hour (for an additional fee) was able to be set up under a pavilion to be out of the sun. The reception space is in a barn but it is not too rustic. With the right decor, it could be more rustic or refined. The provided tables and chairs were perfectly acceptable to me. You have a choice of linen colors through the caterer. You won't have a choice in food which is one less decision you will have to make but you are also stuck with pretty basic catering food. The wine is good and... Read more per Maryland law, you will only be able to serve alcohol from Linganore or Red Shedman. We thoroughly enjoyed our tastings prior to deciding what would be served at our reception. There is a bridal suite but it is small and basically just a mirror and bathroom. We had to bring lawn chairs to have seating. There is nowhere for the groom to get ready unless you want to rent an additional space for the day. My groom said he kind of wandered aimlessly prior to the ceremony so it would have been nice for him to have a private place to go. The coordinator, Karen Pennington, was newer but seemed competent. When we hired the venue, we were told that there wasn't a coordinator so it was nice to have her. We definitely wouldn't have hired a separate coordinator had we known this ahead of time. She was able to answer "Linganore-specific" questions that we had such as how to arrange such a long processional. A few minor complaints: there was construction on a sidewalk that leads around the winery to the ceremony site that we were not informed of ahead of time. Guests and bridal party basically had to walk on gravel for a portion which wasn't pretty and also a little dangerous. I'm sure this is complete by now. Second, the ceremony site is in a field/meadow. The grass was fairly long when it was mowed so there were significant clippings stuck in my dress and veil. I would have rather not have spent half of cocktail hour trying to pick it out of my dress. If the grass couldn't have been kept short over the summer or raked, it would have almost been better left uncut. We have beautiful photos of our ceremony and reception. We look forward to coming back to Linganore Winecellars and remembering our special day.

Linganore was the perfect location for our wedding. The views for the outdoor ceremony were amazing and we got so many compliments from our guests. The reception hall had nice tall ceilings and seemed so magical, especially with twinkle lights. The staff was also very easy to work with and always easy to get in touch with. I do wish that the beverage was a little more flexible. For instance, I had to purchase a beverage package for my 86-year-old grandmother who has never had a drink in her life. Other than that, you really can't go wrong with Linganore.

We loved our venue. It was beautiful and the pictures came out amazing. Our guests had a great time and I have no complaints.
