Rosewood Farms 

4.7

Elkton, MD
  • Up to 275 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Originally a cow and poultry farm, the previous owners had run the property as a winery before Rick purchased it in May of 2017. After seeing the property, its luscious landscape, and the rustic charm of the original buildings, Rick had a vision. He saw the property transformed into a modern, chic space that maintained the history and character of the original farm. More importantly, he imagined bringing others’ visions to life with a beautiful and unique setting for weddings and private events.

“My (now!) husband, Matt and I, had our DREAM wedding at Rosewood this winter. From intro tour to married - the entire process was so easy and fun. Their preferred vendor list is perfect - does a lot of the upfront work for you. All of my vendors knocked it out of the park. Not to mention, how GORGEOUS is Rosewood? Beautiful and HUGE suite to get ready in with all of my girls. The guys had a blast playing pool and video games while getting ready. We had so much gush over the cocktail hour space from our guests - which is conveniently both indoor and outdoor friendly. We danced the night away during the reception. So much room for everyone to mingle. The space is a blank slate that gives you so much room to make the décor your own. The photo booth was one of the highlights for us, we loved getting all of the photos after the fact. Have your wedding at Rosewood, it's the best and easiest decision you'll make!”
