Awarded Best of Zola
We were introduced to Union Mills during the Frederick Wedding Expo, and we loved the look of the place. The look of the venue speaks for itself, the exposed brick and the killer chandeliers really encapsulated the vibe we wanted. Our vendors also appreciated the more practical set-up of the space for ease of use (lighting, access to power, entrances, etc.), showing the expertise with which the venue was designed. The space is also totally handicap accessible, from parking to ramps within the venue itself, which was necessary for some of our guests. We were planning the wedding on a short time frame, and Niko and Mary were incredibly flexible with our needs. Their background in hospitality showed, we always felt that our big day was just as important to them. They had connections to vendors in the area and helped us narrow down who would be best for our needs. We were worried about the menu and bar package given our group had some pretty varied dietary restrictions, but their options were totally customizable all in-house, our guests had plenty of great choices. All of the staff were friendly and professional, the day ran smoothly from setting up the ceremony, serving drinks, flipping the room for the reception, and serving dinner. We highly recommend Union Mills as an event space and are appreciative to Niko and Mary for helping us!

Amazing views as well as a great area to get ready in for both guys and girls.

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Alyssa, their wedding coordinator, and all of the staff at Maryland National Golf Club. Alyssa is very professional, detail oriented, and super easy to work with. She gave us exactly what we asked for and everything we didn't know we needed. She made perfect recommendations based on who we are as a couple, and filled in the gaps with details we had forgotten about. The staff as well was extremely friendly and easy to work with. After our wedding, our families, guests, photographer, and DJ could not say enough good things about Alyssa and the staff here! Maryland National Golf Club itself provided a beautiful, intimate setting for our wedding. We had a little over 90 guests and a wedding party of 4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen. We used the outdoor ceremony space and rented white chairs from the venue. They were set up exactly the way we asked, and it turned out beautiful. We also rented their white arbor for the ceremony itself and asked for it to be set up in front of the beautiful greenery and plants on the right side. We provided decorations for the chairs and the arbor, and Alyssa and her staff set everything up perfectly. We also used the inside, upstairs space for our reception. We decided to have our sweet-heart table in front of big windows, and the tables for our guests set up around the rented dance floor in the center of the room. Appetizers and food were served in the space to the right of of their fireplace. Again, it was intimate and perfect! We provided decor for the tables as well and rented their candle vases and Alyssa made everything so beautiful. Everything flowed well, and guests were easily able to move around and find everything. We also used their catering services, and everything was phenomenal! Another aspect of our wedding that our guests could not say enough about. Again, I cannot say enough about how wonderful this venue was. The day of our wedding, I did not feel stressed or worried about any details coming together because I knew everything was prepared and being taken care of by Alyssa and their capable staff. They gave a dream day that my husband and I will treasure forever.
