My family and I had the most WONDERFUL experience working with our coordinator and everyone at Morningside Inn. Wedding planning is SUPER stressful!
But I was lucky enough to find a wedding venue that has EVERYTHING- from chairs/tables; indoor/outdoor ceremony options; ample room for the bridal party and groomsmen to get ready; a well trained and extremely knowledgeable staff; TO a FABULOUS group of preferred vendors (cake, DJ, and photographer) !
Morningside had ALL of this and MORE!

Robert and I had our wedding on June 22, 2024 at the Morningside Inn, and let me tell you we couldn’t have picked a more beautiful elegant location.
All of the staff were super accommodating and very sweet! The food was superb as well. Our wedding coordinator was even more AMAZING! She made sure she went great lengths to give us EVERYTHING we wanted and exceeded our expectations! I’ll NEVER forget this. If you’re thinking about having your wedding at the Morningside Inn, I’m telling you, you won’t be disappointed. My guests are still raving about their experience!! Thank you again for this unforgettable experience! We love you guys!

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.
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.

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.
