Things To Do
Old Ellicott City
A quaint little town filled with locally-owned cafes, shops, and restaurants. We love walking around Main Street and supporting local businesses!
Brookeville Beer Farm
One of our favorite local breweries. BYO food, or order one of their brick-oven pizzas with your beer, and you're sure to have a good time!
National Aquarium
We went here on our first date. #SaveTheFishies
Washington, D.C.
Go explore D.C. while you're in the area! We're a short metro ride away from the city. Walk around, or do a hop-on/hop-off bus tour to see all the major monuments.
Ananda
One of our favorite restaurants! If you like Indian food, you must try Ananda. Request a table on their indoor patio for a romantic, warm atmosphere.
Iron Bridge Wine Company
Another one of our favorites! Enjoy this lovely little restaurant with excellent food and wine. Reserve a table in advance during dinner hours.
Centennial Park
A wonderful little lake in our hometown, perfect for a 2 mile walk/run around the lake or a picnic on a nice day.
Columbia Lakefront
Right in the heart of Downtown Columbia, across the street from the Columbia Mall, The Lakefront is wonderful for a quick 1.5 mile stroll around Lake Kittamaquandi and a bite to eat at one of the restaurants overlooking the lake. Summers often offer free concerts and events, so check out the website in advance to see if there's anything happening!
Maryland Live! Casino
Up for a little gambling? Check out the casino located only a few minutes from the Hotel at Arundel Preserve.
Guinness Open Gate Brewery
The only Guinness brewery in the states! SUPER close to the airport and our venue. You're welcome. (P.S. try the nachos. Just trust us.)
Black Ankle Vineyards
This isn't exactly convenient; but the drive will get you to a beautiful Maryland vineyard with great wine and a relaxing atmosphere. It's one of our favorite places and the spot of our engagement photos!
Manor Hill Brewing
A small local brewery for you to enjoy! Two locations - one is the brewery itself (address above), where you can BYO food. The other includes a restaurant located in Old Ellicott City.
