Hi all,
I've been engaged for a little over a month now and have for the most part just been flitting from board to board looking for ideas. I do have a question that maybe someone will be able to help with:
We are looking at venues and one in particular is sticking out for the moment. Any reviews (good or bad) of Running Hare VIneyards?
We aren't big wine drinkers but the location looks great on the website (we are visiting it next week). We don't have a specific date in mind just yet, generally: March-May or September in 2012 and we don't want anything fussy for right around 100 guests, just for everyone to have a good time. We live in St. Mary's County (I'm from Baltimore originally) so we have been looking at a few different places from down here to Baltimore. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Just starting out
I don't know anything about that particular venue, but you may also want to try the Baltimore boards, to see if there's someone there that can offer some insight.
I went to a wedding and my FI has worked a few there as a DJ. it is a great location and a beautiful venue. The caterer for there that is the best is Maryland Country Caterers. I would highly recommend this venue.
We're getting married at the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa in Calvet County. Might not be low key enough for you though.
I know some one who got married and the Musuem of Science and Industry in Baltimore and it turned out lovely. If it's going to be outside though for the ceremony, make sure you account for the temperature when selecting your date.
Running Hare is a fantastic place to have your ceremony and reception. I went to the first wedding they had at the new building. The owners are fantastic and their caterer (Maryland Country Caterers) is delicious. When are you thinking about getting married? I believe they are pretty booked so you should contact them ASAP. The only downside for me are: 1- the price of just having everything there and 2- that you have to buy their wine, by the case and there is a minimum. You can always just use the wine at the bar but I just don't like that being a stipulation. But on the plus side, its beautiful there!!!
