A Family-Owned Wedding & Event Venue in Frederick, Maryland

Originally a family-owned dairy farm, Morningside Inn was lovingly transformed into a wedding and event venue in the mid-1990s by the Cochran family. What started as a vision for a peaceful, all-inclusive retreat soon became one of Frederick’s most sought-after destinations for couples and event hosts looking for rustic elegance with professional support.

Today, Morningside Inn remains family-owned and operated by three generations of the Cochran family, with the same commitment to hospitality, integrity, and helping every guest feel at home. From the moment you tour our property to your final send-off, our team is here to make your day as smooth, joyful, and memorable as possible.
