When I first arrived on the property to look at it, it was breathtaking so beautiful and so well kept, and obviously Lauren and Kara were so kind and sweet and so attentive to every single one of my requests and details. Fast-forward to wedding weekend, I had Kara and Lauren on speed dial if I needed anything and they were so helpful for any tiny request. I needed for my wedding party and family. The property is absolutely stunning. My wedding party and I stayed in the farmhouse the entire weekend from rehearsal dinner to a brunch on that Sunday and my friends, and I had the time of our lives. It was so accommodating to have family come from out of state. Be able to stay on the property in a nearby Airbnb that houses 20 people! I wasn’t worried about hotels, driving and transporting people or potentially having them drinking and driving. It was so nice to just be there the entire time. My friends and family have said that it was one of the best weddings that they have ever been to and I can concur that was the best wedding ever. I cannot recommend this place enough if you live in Maryland or nearby or somewhere on the East Coast or looking to do a destination wedding. This is your place to do it!!! I wish I could relive my wedding weekend. It was so magical and perfect and I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you Comus farms!

The venue itself is simply stunning, with beautiful river views and lush gardens that made for a gorgeous backdrop to our big day. Considering the beautiful setting and high level of service, we felt the pricing was very fair.

We booked a tour with Cold Saturday Farm on a whim, but holy cow am I glad that we did! We met with Brittany on a pretty dreary day in the winter, and even then I could see the beauty in the venue. It truly is a blank canvas that you can really make your own. Plus, the venue checked all the boxes that were super important to us: onsite getting ready spaces for both us, free onsite parking, guest tables and chairs included, and access to the venue all day. For the price, it was a great value. Brittany did end up leaving Cold Saturday, and we do wish that had been proactively communicated to us, but her replacement, Meredith, was fantastic, especially because she started the week before our wedding (I'm pretty sure we were her first wedding at the venue). But she was incredibly helpful and friendly--we actually had guests come up to us and tell us how awesome she was! The only other thing I wish we had known ahead of time was that the getting ready room the guys used didn't have any furniture. It was still being worked on during our tours, so we didn't actually see the room until the day of. So the room may have furniture at some point. Overall, we loved Cold Saturday Farm. It is truly a hidden gem (none of our vendors have ever worked there before but all of them said they loved it), so I really love that it was a pretty unique and beautiful place to have our wedding.

My wife and I attended a wedding at Caboose Farm this past weekend and were extremely impressed. We own an event hosting company and tend to have a hard time just enjoying events for this reason, but this place changed that. Couple bullet points from an industry professional: - Attention to detail 5 star. See photos of the NAPKIN FOLDS! Been in the industry over 30 years and thought I had seen it all but a suit jacket with boutineer folded from a napkin? Bride had a bouquet of flowers with flower made from a napkin folded in. Bravo. Above and beyond. - Bathrooms 5 star. People under appreciate bathrooms. This place was not only clean but the staff was very on top of supplies and cleaning. Impressive display of pride in their venue. - The facility itself was possibly once a bank barn. Today it is a two story Mountain Lodge, Ski Chalet sort of vibe, with Flagstone, refurbished raw wood beams, richly stained hardwood furnishings and a traditional pub style bar. 5 star again. - The food was outstanding which was also unexpected given how far out we were. No offense to rural venues but many provide bare bones and its almost always just BBQ. Not this place. 5 star plus. Extra nod to the staff for knowing the ingredients so well for my gluten allergic wife. It should be noted that this venue prepared for and hosted this wedding of around 100 guests, with only a week notice from what we understand. Our friend's daughter's original venue had burst frozen pipes resulting in a scramble to find a new place. This Caboose Farm made an amazing day with moments notice. Speaks even greater volumes of them. Whatever it cost - the money was well spent. 5 stars all around.
