FAQS

How far in advance should I book your banquet services for my event?

Our most popular dates book quickly—especially for weddings, banquets, and holiday events. We recommend reserving as early as possible to ensure your ideal date. Planning something last-minute? We’re here to help and will do everything we can to accommodate your timeline. Don’t wait—reach out today and let’s make it happen.

Do you provide event planning and coordination services, or do I need to hire a separate event planner?

We offer comprehensive event planning and coordination services as part of our packages. Our experienced team will assist you with every aspect of your event, from venue selection and décor to timeline management and entertainment coordination. We aim to make the planning process as stress-free as possible, ensuring that your event runs seamlessly from start to finish.

Can I bring in an outside caterer?

When we opened our doors 20 years ago, we allowed outside catering companies. We found that quality varied drastically between catering businesses. We also found that a quality meal is vital to a perfect wedding experience. To ensure a perfect wedding reception, in 1995, we hired Tim Erfourth as our head chef and guests have raved about Morningside Inn food ever since.

Can I customize the menu for my event, including dietary restrictions and special requests?

Absolutely! At Morningside Inn, we believe in tailoring our services to your unique needs. Our culinary team is skilled in accommodating dietary restrictions, allergies, and special requests. During the planning process, we'll work closely with you to create a menu that suits your preferences and ensures all your guests enjoy a delightful dining experience.

Can I bring in outside liquor, beer, or wine?

Maryland State Law prohibits our facility to allow outside liquor, beer or wine and as such all alcoholic beverages served or consumed on the property must be supplied by Morningside Inn. This includes the parking lots. However, we may serve your desired unique beer and wine at your event. Please alert Morningside’s wedding planner as soon as possible so we may order through our distributor.

Will there be other wedding/receptions at the same time as my event?

Your wedding day is YOURS; we only host one wedding/reception at a time at our private wedding venue in Maryland.

Is Morningside Inn handicap accessible?

Yes! On your wedding day, our staff can direct guests to ramps that access all levels of Morningside Inn. Our staff is always willing to help guests if needed.

Do you have event parking?

Morningside Inn offers four large paved parking lots with ample space for up to 200 guests. With on-site, easily accessible parking, your friends and family can arrive and leave with ease—no shuttles or street parking required.

Will your venue accommodate my guest count?

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Morningside Inn comfortably accommodates up to 200 guests in our temperature controlled venue.
