My husband and I looked at many different venues from Annapolis up to Middletown and once we went to Morningside Inn nothing could really compare. The setting is perfect and it is ...very affordable there too. Very private location with nice views outside and a pretty drive down a long driveway into the venue. They had recently done some updates and painting before our wedding so it was fresh and clean for us too! Jeanie was very accommodating to us while we tried to crunch numbers and be budget savvy, and the staff was great at calling back and answering questions as we went along in the process. We had a large wedding (over 200 people) and I was worried about how things would fit but it worked out really well. We had our ceremony at our church, but the location for the outdoor ceremony there is really nice, and we used that patio during the reception. The food was very good, and the chef even let us have a private tasting before our wedding that was not part of their tasting party with everyone invited, which we really appreciated. It was nice to have dinner on one floor and reception on the other just to break things up and keep the wedding flowing. They don't have elevators there, so we did have to drive some of the grandparents and elderly guests around the side, but we knew that in advance so we planned for it. I did not use any of the "onsite" vendors offered just because I had looked into a bunch of others that I felt more comfortable with, so I can't review their services, but I'm sure they are just fine! The cost for this location was very affordable compared to many others that we looked into, and that was probably the best part! They offered reductions for kids and people not drinking to help save money too. I had some concerns with some of the decor that was out during the tastings etc. but they took care of everything that was not related to our wedding, and it all went flawlessly the day of. Jeanie, the owner, has done weddings for years and she has a tried and true method of putting them together, but you need only ask if you want to make adjustments and she will figure out a way to make it happen. I think we had a lot of subtle changes to the "normal" way they did things but they had no problem accommodating (used glass instead of plastic, gave us some different wine selections, we joined the cocktail reception early, etc.). A drawback was that it did take a while for bus transportation to get from the hotels in Frederick all the way out there, but that's not Morningside's fault. Message me if you want specific details about anything.
