As soon as we arrived, we were so glad that we had chosen Milton Ridge and knew that we had made the right choice. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. They were with us through every step of our wedding day with lots of support and smiles. The cottage for getting ready is very cute, the chapel is beautiful, and the reception hall is great as well. They have many services included in their various wedding packages like catering, DJ, photographer, and cake. They also have outside vendors that they work with frequently, such as hair and make-up and a florist, who are all wonderful. They are inclusive, and they are supportive of LGBT weddings. My now wife and I are part of the LGBT community, and we were treated very well by the entire team. We were able to have our wedding exactly how we wanted, and they worked with us on every detail. On the day, they had the entire day scheduled and kept us on track, which is actually so necessary and helpful on a day when you're trying to do so many things. Everything went smoothly and as stress free as a wedding can be. It was truly a wonderful day. Thank you so much to the whole team! -Harley and Jackie

Booking the Visitation Hotel for our wedding was a smooth and easy experience. Every step of the way the communication was speedy and clear (no surprises!!!). We feel so lucky to have had our wedding at the Visitation hotel! It checked all the boxes of what we were looking for - amazing location in beautiful downtown Frederick, MD., beautiful hotel that blends modern upscale style while still paying homage to a building that dates back to the 1800s!!! Our guests praised us on the beauty of the outdoor tent, the ballroom, the hotel rooms, the absolute 5 star quality of the food, and the convenience of everything being in one location for a wedding. Mazie our sales and catering director really went above and beyond making us feel special throughout the process. From our private tasting experience to literally walking around with a platter holding our signature drinks while we took pictures with our family after the ceremony. It was truly the best day and we couldn't be happier about our selection of the Visitation hotel for our wedding!

Had the most amazing experience and wedding this fall at Dulaneys. The staff is amazing and gives recommendations for vendors that frequent there and their coordinator we had, Maddie, was a god send for an unfortunate event with our original photographer and was in constant communication with us prior to the wedding. Amazing views as well as a great area to get ready in for both guys and girls.
