Venues in Frederick, Carroll, or Washington Counties?

Hi, I'm new to this forum.

My fiance and I recently moved to North Carolina for careers. My parents live in Gettysburg, PA and his friends and family live closer to that region. Our problem is that my fiance wants to have the reception venue closer to them, but I don't know where to look. We are on a budget since we just started work and our wedding party is roughly 60 people.

We are getting married in a church in Emmittsburg, MD (Northern Frederick County). We originally planned to have our venue at Fort Richie in Washington County, but unfortunately the place shut down over an injury lawsuit. We are at a loss and are so bummed out since it was a quiet, private location with a lake.

I am nervous about having my reception in Gettysburg since our wedding is in July 2014. July is a HUGE tourist month due to the anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg and I do not want to be in the middle of crowds on my wedding day.

Can someone help me out with an idea? Thanks.

    We are getting married at Green Grove Gardens in Greencastle, PA in April 2013. Check out their website, its gorgeous! Also check out Whitetail Ski Resort, Ski Liberty. They all have websites and the cost is not off the charts. Hope this helps!

    I went to school in Emmitsburg. That area is beautiful for weddings. I'd recommend thorpewood-I haven't looked too much into it, as we are holding our wedding loser to the Ellicott city region, but it looks absolutely stunning! Good luck!

    My venue may be booked already but they are inexpensive ($700 for rental mid 30s to low 40s per person for food).  It is a barn so it would have to be your style.  Union Mills Homestead just north of Westminster.  Its actually a Civil War historic site, some soldiers stayed there before being escorted up to Gettysburg by one of the residents
