Lindsay and her team are amazing! They told us that if all we wanted to do was show up with our dress and suit we could, or we can make as many choices as we want… We opted for making choices on things that mattered to us and let them do the rest. Boy did they deliver!!!! The venue was beautiful and well prepared for our day! They worked with us within our budget and made our day absolutely perfect…My husband and I both said we want to get married again every day as long as they are in charge. The food, cake, and beverages were amazing! By far the best wedding food I’ve ever had and our guests agreed. Lindsay and Vicky took great care in every detail of our day to make sure it reflected us and they took great care to ensure we were not stressed at all…it was truly amazing! Again, my husband and I both were so happy and grateful for all of their hard work and commitment to us having the perfect day! We’re anxiously awaiting our professional photos, but here are some from family and friends!

I don't have enough good things to say about KD and the Team at Wylder Hotel Tilghman Island! Everything from our first visit to The Wylder, to the morning after our wedding and beyond was amazing! My husbands family has owned a home just outside of Tilghman Island for years, it was my dream to get married in the area and The Wylder was the perfect place! We visited every time we came to St. Michaels and each time I found something more to love about The Wylder! The venue is a perfect space to have all of your favorite people together for your entire wedding weekend and the location is stunning! All of our guests were raving about how gorgeous The Wylder was and how much fun our entire wedding weekend was because of all that The Wylder has to offer! We got married on November 1st, which meant out welcome party fell on Halloween! The kids from our wedding were able to trick or treat with our family and friends at the bungalows and the groom and his friends were able to spend the morning enjoying Splash City Golf, which was a HUGE HIT! As a bride, KD was a DREAM to work with! She answered every email and phone calls so quickly and was so patient with all of my questions and last minute needs!! She made absolutely everything run so smoothly for us!! On our wedding day she made sure everything I needed was done! We truly cannot recommend The Wylder enough!

I wanted to take a moment to extend my sincerest thanks to the entire team at Sparrows Point Country Club for the outstanding care and service you provided during my son’s wedding and reception this past weekend. From start to finish, your team demonstrated an incredible sense of urgency, attention to detail, and professionalism that made the entire experience seamless and unforgettable. Every aspect—from event decor setup and dinner service to the flow of drinks and even the final clean-up—was handled with such precision and warmth. You both were truly shining stars throughout the planning and the big day itself. Emma provided tremendous support during the wedding rehearsal, helping everyone feel comfortable and confident about how things would unfold. Her calm guidance and organization made a noticeable difference in how smoothly everything ran. On the day of the wedding, Emily was an absolute gem—making sure the bride and her bridal party were well taken care of from the moment they arrived, and even going out of her way to assist the photographer with the "First Look" and Sunset photos by leading the Bride and Groom to the most breathtaking backdrop locations with ideal lighting to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments. I also want to express my appreciation for the personal care you both showed me—checking in throughout the event to ensure I was taken care of and that our guests were enjoying themselves. The food was served hot and fresh, the drinks kept flowing thanks to the amazing bartenders, and the compliments haven’t stopped coming in about how beautiful everything was and how attentive your entire staff was throughout the evening. Even the weather cooperated—it felt like everything was simply meant to be. Thanks to your team’s dedication and genuine hospitality, my son’s wedding day will be remembered not only as a joyful occasion, but as a perfectly orchestrated celebration. I can’t thank you enough for making it all so memorable for our family and friends. With heartfelt gratitude, Brenda Jackson

The Liriodendron Mansion was the second venue we toured back in 2024, and we instantly fell in love with it. Tucked away in a quiet Bel Air neighborhood, the mansion was once home to Dr. Howard Kelly — one of the founders of Johns Hopkins and the inventor of the Kelly clamp — before being sold to the county. The exterior is breathtaking, with two elegant porticos framing each side of the house. Behind the mansion, you’ll find a spacious patio that can comfortably seat 60–70 guests for dinner, surrounded by lush greenery and soft string lights overhead. The staff were wonderful throughout the entire process — from our initial walk-throughs to day-of coordination — and made everything feel seamless. If you’re looking for a venue with timeless charm, romantic ambiance, and a covered outdoor space perfect for dancing and cocktails, this is it. I highly recommend visiting — you’ll fall in love just like we did.
