About this venue
Nestled on 5 acres in rural Charles County Maryland, Pleasant Hill is a private home on the National Register of Historic Places and offers a picturesque backdrop to your wedding or other formal event. Pleasant Hill has a rich history. Multiple improvements over the life of the property have transformed it from a simple farmhouse, to local store, post office, place of worship, and now a unique venue available to the public. Stories are what make Pleasant Hill special and it serves as a serene backdrop to tell your love story. Enjoy strolling through our English style tea garden, exploring our ornately furnished rooms or taking in the view of our wildflower meadow. At Pleasant Hill, our service philosophy is to anticipate your every need, exceed your expectations, and ensure your day is special. We are honored that you would choose us to celebrate one of the most important days in your life and take our role in your day with the utmost commitment to quality.

Pleasant Hill is available on Saturday from 10:00am to 10:00pm and on Sunday from 10:00am to 9:00pm. This gives you the flexibility to hold your ceremony and reception at times that best fit your vision. We recommend the last song be played at 9:45pm followed by a grand send off for the couple. Rehearsal time is included on Friday prior to your ceremony. We will work with you on the best time to begin. However, all music must be off and your event completed no later than 10:00pm on a Saturday and 9:00pm on a Sunday.
We are happy to host your rehearsal dinner prior to your wedding! We offer two options: • A Cocktail reception can be held on the main floor of the house and in our English tea garden. Guests can explore our Nantucket style pool area and the rest of the grounds while enjoying cocktails. • A seated dinner in your tent in our wildflower meadow. We'll work with your caterer and tent provider to ensure they have the space needed.
