SURROUNDED BY NATURE
Nature-loving couples envisioning a dreamy outdoor
wedding should look no further than Mountain Maryland.
Connect with nature and your guests with a weekend of
wedding-related fun in the woods at Camp Potomac. Enjoy
camping together on a secluded property and keep the
celebration going for as long as you like!
Charm your friends and family with a ceremony on the
sprawling grounds of StoneBridge or The Villa. Both properties
feature a manor house on the breathtaking estates and
offer comfortable spaces for the bridal party to relax
and get ready before the big day, surrounded by some of
Mountain Maryland’s most beautiful private properties.
Looking for a simple but stunning celebration? Meet your
beloved under the amphitheater at Hoffman Park or exchange
vows at one of the overlooks at Green Ridge State Forest.
INSPIRED BY ART
Allegany County is an art-lover’s paradise. Pose for
photographs inside the C. William Gilchrist Gallery and
Museum and hold your ceremony in the museum’s gorgeous
back garden. Plan a unique ceremony inside the 1931 Art Deco
Embassy Theatre and share your first kiss as a married couple
on stage! Exchange your vows in the city of steeples. The
architecture alone makes for a dreamy backdrop, but some
Cumberland’s places of worship are works of art in themselves,
like the Emmanual Episcopal parish, which is one of the area’
finest examples of early Gothic Revival architecture with
stained glass windows made by Louis Comfort Tiffany.
TIMELESS ELEGANCE
Couples seeking an air of sophistication for their special
occasion will find plenty of historical offerings here. Show off
your wedding dress as you slow dance under chandeliers at
the Allegany Museum Ballroom—the largest neo-classical
revival-style building in Western Maryland! The 18th-century
colonial-style bank barn at Evergreen Heritage Center is
a beautiful backdrop for your big day. Plus, the property’s
commitment to ecological conservation will appeal to
environmentally conscious couples.
Say “I do” in the peaceful formal garden at the GordonRoberts House before moving inside to the drawing room
for an intimate reception. Built in 1867 for the president of
the C&O Canal, this historic home blends Second Empire
architecture with Victorian interior touches and will give
your wedding the traditional touches you envision.
