We JUST got married at Chanteclaire Farm last weekend and I don't even have words to describe how LUCKY we were to find such a gem of a wedding venue, which is really more of an all-weekend experience. I have worked in the wedding industry so I was certain that my search to find a micro-destination venue (meaning most of our guests could drive/travel within a couple hours of home), that is also all-inclusive, plus a venue we could stay on the grounds the entire weekend, would be pretty much impossible to find. I mean, venues like this simply don't exist in my head. We toured close to 6 venues around Maryland and most of them checked many boxes on our wish-list, but CF was truly the one and only one that checked ALL of our boxes and then some.
If you are worried about letting the venue hold the responsibility of almost ALL of your vendors (rehearsal dinner, catering, cake, florals, DJ, furniture, linens, service staff, bartenders, day-of coordination, overnight accommodations for up to 20 people, after-party, etc.) let your worries GO and trust that CF has it all under control. And not only do they take care of EVERYTHING during your whole weekend stay, they do it with such ease, precision, attention to detail, and they sure make the bride, groom and their families can truly relax and spend quality time together during such an important weekend. How amazing is it that once you arrive to the farm for the weekend, you don't have to leave ever if you don't want to: the farmhouse and cabin are just steps away from the ceremony space and reception venue. The after-party bonfire is also just steps from where you will blissfully lay your head after an incredible wedding after filling your already-full belly with late-night snacks like homemade warm pizza rolls, soft pretzels and campfire smores. I cannot say enough about the owner Leigh and her amazing and talented team - she is SO thorough and meticulous about ensuring your wedding details come to life and that the day-of timeline runs efficiently and smoothly, and it's because she cares SO much about ensuring you are happy with every decision of the whole weekend. Not once during the whole weekend did we feel confused or left-out of any details that are important in making your wedding day run smoothly. I am a type-A person who wanted control of details like our music playlists - from the moment guests arrived, to cocktail hour music, dance floor music, etc. and Leigh and the DJ team let me have full-reign and there were NO issues at all the entire day. The FOOD - oh my gosh, you cannot go wrong with ANYTHING on the menu (the tasting event is an absolute must-attend event). We had SO many people come up to us saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had. We also asked Leigh if we could do a pie bar for dessert rather than cake - and the pies were simply to die for. Every single request to make the little details that mattered to us about our wedding day count, were honored and celebrated by Leigh and her team. I could go on and on about Chanteclaire Farm and all of its beauty and amazingness (the cocktail hour parlor lounge and the silo bar themselves are simply show-stoppers. I will end this review by saying - TRUST everything that Leigh and her Chanteclaire Farm team members can do for your big day, or wedding weekend rather - and you will have the most relaxing and the most beautiful, incredible wedding weekend. BOOK your wedding weekend at CF and you WILL not regret it!!
A wedding at Chanteclaire is more than a few hour rental at a venue with your family and friends. It is a weekend long celebration with vendors who care about you and your guests from the minute you arrive. We loved our wedding experience at Chanteclaire, especially during the pandemic, but did not realize just how much this very capable and experienced team did to make the wedding day so perfect. The team at Chanteclaire goes above and beyond to make sure you are able to envision your perfect day through your time planning together, your tasting, and at the rehearsal the night before. There was absolutely no stress (besides COVID) while planning. Through what was supposed to be stressful, Leigh and Haleigh made every minute fun. Two years later, we just planned my sister's wedding and that is when we realized just all that Leigh and Haleigh did to make the wedding at Chanteclaire so perfect! Their recommendations based on their vast experience contribute to a flawless wedding day/week-end. They are kind and thoughtful and so very helpful! I also have to shoutout the most incredible kitchen team. They did a wonderful job preparing our AMAZING food, helping with dietary restrictions, and providing us the BEST wedding cake we have ever eaten. To end our wonderful day, we were able to host an after party bon-fire with snacks and drinks, and stay on the property in a large house and cabin. The memories that we have from our amazing day will truly last forever. I can't thank the Chanteclaire team enough for everything they did to make our day perfect. I highly recommend Chanteclaire!
Flawless, fun, memorable, best day ever. Chanteclaire Farm is a dream come true venue, the team is absolutely wonderful to work with. We had a great time during the planning stages of the wedding, Haleigh and Leigh are so kind, fun, and easy to work with. They truly know what they are doing and do their best to make your special day the best day ever. We still share stories of how wonderful and amazing our wedding day was, our guest loved everything from the scenery, the music, the silo bar, the Food, to the bon fire! Lasting memories from the most special day. Highly recommended, above and beyond.
There aren’t enough stars to rate how much I love this vendor! The surprised look people get when I say I’m not stressed wedding planning is all thanks to Haleigh & the staff at Chanteclaire Farm! From taking care of behind the scenes wedding planning, booking the DJ & florist, the meal & cake selection, & anything else you need, I highly recommend!!
Chanteclaire was literally a fairytale. Our wedding could not have been more perfect. Haliegh (day-of coordinator and wedding planner) was flawless, attentive, and seriously made our day easy and carefree. This venue was perfect for an all-inclusive and gorgeous location. We are so blessed we picked Chanteclaire. All of our guests mentioned how this was the best wedding they have ever gone too! Staying on site was a huge plus too. We are still smitten and in awe of our perfect day! Thank you all to Chanteclaire!!
Our wedding weekend at Chanteclaire Farm was beyond our wildest dreams. When we started planning in 2019 we were thrilled to be able to tie the knot at such a picturesque venue. Leigh and Haleigh walked us through every step, even as we had to adjust to the COVID-19 pandemic & then pregnancy & baby. We even had the pleasure of having our baby’s and niece’s simchat bat (naming ceremony) under an arch by the pond just before our vow renewal.
After 2 years, when we finally had our big celebration they felt like family to us. What more could anyone ask for? This venue will always be special to us. We hope that whoever buys CF will take great care of it and welcome couples back to celebrate anniversaries. 🥰
As a wedding videographer, I travel around to many different venues in the area. One of my top favorite venues of all time has got to be Chanteclaire Farm. This venue is AMAZING and has everything you need for a PERFECT wedding day experience. The farm is obviously in the country, so it is charming, peaceful, and very quiet, until you begin rocking it on the dance floor that is! =) Couples have access to a cute bridal suite across the pond, which makes for the perfect little hideaway to relax or get ready in. You will fall in love with the outdoor ceremony site next to the large pond and big red barn. Of course, the barn itself is absolutely STUNNING and is one of the main features here. Once inside, you will be awestruck by the woodwork, open beams, lighting, and decor that will be the backdrop for your reception. There is a large area in the downstairs section of the barn, where you can enjoy the cocktail hour before moving to the spacious main floor for your reception. There is also a large deck that overlooks the pond and is a great spot for your guests to socialize and take in some fresh air. One little secret here…don’t be fooled by the silo, it houses a full bar and is a BIG HIT with everyone! The design is first class! The food here is top notch, and the staff is absolutely AMAZING. This venue is what it is today thanks to the hard work and dedication of Leigh Clarke and her staff. They are professional, friendly, fun to work with, and will go ABOVE AND BEYOND to serve your every need. I know they will take great care of you! I have witnessed this team first hand and know their track record. Leigh and her team will be organized, on time, and have everything looking picture perfect throughout your ENTIRE wedding day! If you are looking for a wedding venue near the Deep Creek Lake area, I HIGHLY recommend Chanteclaire Farm. The setting, service, and experience at this venue is everything you dreamed of and MORE!
Everything and everyone at this farm is so wonderful and fabulous!! Planning was super simple and very fun!! We went to three tasting during the planning process and it was so incredible. We are just happy that we got to have our day there after having to move it due to Covid and Leigh and Haleigh were so helpful moving the date! The day before and day of the wedding was so easy and very fun!! I will be recommending this venue to everyone I know because of how fun and simple they make wedding planning and how amazing the wedding turned out!!
We were blown away by the staff and this picturesque venue. We were so happy with how everyone handled the uncertainty of wedding planning during a pandemic! We were so lucky to have our day . We couldn’t have asked for anything better !
Chanteclaire was nothing short of a dream. My (now) husband and I were worried about planning a wedding, especially since he spends most of the year on the road for work. We knew we wanted a fall wedding, and one with a rustic, barn atmosphere, and luckily, we found Chanteclaire. Within minutes of stepping on site, we were sold. Leigh (the owner) and her entire staff (especially the coordinator April) were so wonderful and helpful in all aspects of planning. My husband and I attended TWO tastings before our big day, something I recommend to other couples. The first one we went alone, just the two of us, and were able to make all our decisions together, without family in our ears. The second time around we brought our families so it became more of a show and tell as opposed to a stress inducing time. I will warn you, Leigh is very opinionated about the way weddings should be run (and with good reason!) so if you have trouble with that I would be prepared to stand your ground. All aspects of planning were smooth and simple though, and really did not leave me much to do. The staff at Chanteclaire had a very well put together list of outside vendors so that couples coming in (and planning) from out of town have somewhere to start. Everything was seamless and perfect. Decorations were dropped off the day before, so that I spent literally 0 time setting up or breaking down the wedding. There were minor issues throughout the day (as to be expected) but almost none of them were brought to my attention which allowed me to be present with my guests and enjoy the wedding. I will say, one negative thing about my experience was being approached during the reception by an assistant to the owner to inform me that me and my guests staying in the (mandatory) on site facilities had to leave earlier than was stated in the contract due to a tasting the next day. That should have been dealt with much earlier than an hour into my wedding, and should have come from someone higher up (like the coordinator or the owner). Regardless, my wedding will be something I will remember for the rest of my life. The experience could not have been better and I would highly recommend this venue to those looking for something breathtaking and unique.
I cannot thank the staff at Chanteclaire enough. My husband and I were in different states trying to plan a wedding back in Maryland, everyone at Chanteclaire made it so easy. Our friends and family can be a handful but Chanteclaire kept everyone in line and our wedding went off without a hiccup. It was honestly the perfect day. Our photos are also gorgeous from all the picture perfect back drops the property has to offer.
If you’re looking for a venue that does it all, and does it FLAWLESSLY might I add, you’ve found the right place! From the beginning to the end of the process Ann, Leigh and April made our process simple and immensely fun. We knew when we started planning that we wanted an “all inclusive” venue and we’re beyond grateful we found Chanteclaire Farm! If you’re smart enough to lock in this venue, you won’t be sorry. Venue, food & cake, DJ, bartender & servers were ALL fabulous. The Spring/Fall tasting event is beyond helpful in making all your decisions. We left that day knowing the exact choices we wanted. April, our wedding planner, answered all our questions, big or small, promptly through text and email. The Skype phone calls with Leigh and April made the process of planning our dream wedding so easy. They keep you on track with an efficient online portal where you’ll make all your details known to them. Honestly, you will worry about nothing. This venue is a well oiled machine. We listened to all the suggestions and guidance and we could not be happier with how our wedding day went! I would 100% recommend this venue and its team, you will not regret it. Thank you to everyone at Chanteclaire who made our wedding weekend so fun and enjoyable. #ToastToTravinski
An absolutely beautiful venue that handled all the details!
There aren't words to describe how great Chanteclaire was. If you see a picture of the venue you will be quick to fall in love with it's charm. However, what you don't see at first is what will make you feel madly in love and at home. The staff at Chanteclaire goes above and beyond and honestly they take your vision far beyond what you could imagine - they make your day perfect. I am definitely a "natural born worrier" but knowing that Caroline had everything under control from taking care of setting up tables, providing signs, moving guests, to checking in with my husband and I, she was always there and looking at what could be done next. You definitely can't go wrong with booking your wedding here! I highly recommend.
My wedding was an absolute DREAM!! This location was amazing, the venue is incredible! My guests were all blown away at how unique this venue was! The wedding day went perfectly, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Very very happy with Chanteclaire :)
My guests can't stop talking about how beautiful this venue is. It has the mountain getaway feel dressed up in a chic vintage romantic barn. The event coordinators and DJs are extremely organized and detailed and will walk you through every step of the night to make sure that it is a success. It rained on and off all day of our wedding, but there was a brief clearing around the ceremony time so the team made sure chairs were wiped down and we made it work outside! They also work closely with other local vendors to help make sure long distance arrangements are easy. Everything was beautiful, fun and organized.
Well... if i could give more stars I would!
Chanteclaire Farm made my wedding absolutely perfect from start to finish. Now when i first starting looking at this venue, they said that only one or two weddings a year are put on the upper deck due to weather, and although i hoped and prayed I was not one of those weddings, the day of my wedding it literally poured. My wedding ceremony was on the upper deck under cover and i can honestly say it was my favorite part of the whole day. In such a beautiful setting, my ceremony was so personal and I felt so loved walking on to the deck with all my guest so close and intimate. The only comment i keep hearing from my guests, "that was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been too and the rain made it so much better!"
Chanteclaire is hands down the best venue in the wedding world. I am not a very hands on person and am too laid back to look at all the details, but Leigh and Caroline knew exactly what I loved and made it ten times better in person than it ever was in my head. Every staff member was so personable and so sweet, i literally felt like i gained like 10 new friends with the staff of the event! Also a huge shout out to the Dj's.. they were AMAZING!!! As a self proclamation, "dancing queen" I literally never left the dance floor, and every single one of my guest were up on the dance floor! Also Wally, (one of the DJ's) , my personal lifesaver! At that point in the night when you turn and need someone to just be there to just say "we got this", Wally was the man! He made sure all my family got back to the house at the end of the night, made sure all my guest got on the shuttle, and just answered any question I had!
The food was AMAZING! The cake was AMAZING! the salad bar...AMAZIINGGGG!! I will stop but just please know the food at Chanteclaire is not your typical wedding food, it is definitely cooked with love and was loved by every single one of my guest!
I could go on and on, but for a girl that never dreamed of what her wedding would be when she got married... Chanteclaire Farm would have blown them all away. It was the best night of our life!
OK…let’s skip the gushy post-wedding reviews (all of which is true about Chanteclaire) and focus on the business side of things. The dollars and time involved throwing a wedding are significant. As parents of the bride, did my wife and I have concerns about a barn wedding in a fairly remote area? Oh Yes! How did it turn out? Great!!
Start the thinking with people. Leigh (Chaneclaire owner) has a well thought out approach to business. Ask her a question about any aspect of the event and she has it well thought out. We had concerns about how hot the top level of the barn might be (August wedding date), wondered about the Chanteclaire staff given the seasonality of the business and concerns about dietary restrictions about a number of guests. Not an issue. Leigh handled all wonderfully.
Now move over to the planning process at Chanteclaire. Yes, we had concerns about planning a wedding away from our home city and in a barn venue. The business arrangement with Leigh includes everything other than photography, flowers, alcohol and transportation (to/from hotels). Leigh has a number of choices of well vetted service providers whom you can talk to and make your own selection. Unlike many other “barn venues” where you have to find most or all service providers, the goods and services are easy to arrange. We found all providers flexible and very nice to do business with. They really just want to make your big day fun and memorable. One word of caution, if you are a Big City dweller), get used to receiving responses a bit slower than what you are used to (Leigh will tell you this). Do not worry as it all comes together wonderfully.
So one more business item (no, I am not an attorney). Running a business for years taught me about “liability”. Keep in mind; you purchase the alcohol. Purchase a “special event policy” (Leigh will tell you this as well). Cost is a few hundred dollars. Do not kid yourself about the liability.
All the best on the Big Day.
Chanteclaire Farm is a dream wedding venue. Our day was absolutely perfect. I'd have my wedding there again in a heartbeat.
I'd probably describe myself as a hands-off bride. I looked at a few similar venues, but I would have to plan everything. I didn't want to plan decorations or choose a caterer. And I didn't want to be chasing birds out of the barn rafters!
Chanteclaire...WOW! From decorating, catering, timing, etc, the staff at Chanteclaire does it all. The barn is so beautifully decorated that I barely did anything (which is exactly what I wanted). But if you want to decorate, they have decorations from previous weddings you're welcome to use.
The food is delicious and the variety is amazing. Cake, cookies, pie, donuts. I was a gluten free bride and they were very accommodating. Gluten free cake, yum! After years of hosting awesome weddings, they have timing down to a science. They kept our day moving smoothly. The staff is just amazing.
This was a destination wedding for us. I've been to Deep Creek dozens of times, but we didn't know any vendors in the area. They were able to provide me with a list of people they work with and trust, so I didn't even have to think about finding other vendors.
My guests were blown away. I had so many compliments and people had a BLAST. I've never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding, and I'm still getting compliments a few months later.
I love Chanteclaire. I would recommend them to anyone.
Thanks for an amazing experience, Chanteclaire team!
All I have to say is...absolute perfection. The perfect venue. The most kind and caring staff! Leigh the owner runs an amazing show. They most certainly know how to make every detail come to life to create the most magical environment and feeling all night long! The quaint, rustic vibe is incomparable to anything I've ever seen in my life! The scenery on-site makes for amazing wedding photography and the barn is already so beautifully decorated!!! I can't think of enough positive things to say about this place. I would recommend to any bride looking to get married in this area!!!! Your guests will have the TIME OF THEIR LIVES and you and your husband will make some of the best memories of your life!!!
It's hard to begin writing a review for Chanteclaire Farm, but it is EASY to give them 10's across the board. Leigh and her staff made the entire wedding planning process easy from start to finish. Everyone we dealt with was extremely professional and upfront. As far as the venue goes, it was everything that we could have asked for. Classy, elegant, rustic, romantic. It is everything. At Chanteclaire, they do weddings, and they do them right. Follow Leigh's lead and you will have a completely stress free day. It has been 3months since our special day and we are still hearing from all our guests how it was the "Wedding of the Year" and how everyone had too much fun. Most of our family drove in from New England or Philadelphia and wished they could have stayed on the farm for weeks! If you are looking for the most beautiful, relaxing, memorable and elegant venue - Chanteclaire is a no brainer!!! To everyone at Chanteclaire who made our day so unbelievably amazing, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Chanteclaire Farm was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony and reception! As a bride, Leigh took away all my worries for the day of the wedding. She had every detail in order and knew how to handle anything you threw at her, such as mud on my dress, misplacing my bouquet, and weather changes, quickly and calmly. I'm a worrier, and her demeanor gave me the feeling that there was nothing that could ever ruin the wedding day.
Even when the weather turned chilly and rainy right before the ceremony, Leigh and her team were still able to get our ceremony off without a hitch outside before the rain showers started. Guests were kept happy despite the abnormally cold temperatures with the help of outdoor heaters and smooth transitions from bus to ceremony to cocktail hour.
Leigh and her team were able to give helpful opinions on the ceremony and reception when requested and made every idea Matt and I had for the wedding, such as popcorn before the ceremony, work out perfectly. Leigh and the DJ's were not even phased when Matt and I decided to switch around the bridal processional music at the last minute.
The DJ's were also amazing and had great timing with transitions and song changes. They stuck to the songs we liked and knew when to play them in order to keep all the guests dancing until the last song. Everyone from Chanteclaire involved in our wedding day were more than just vendors by the end of this experience. They were friends and welcomed guests at our wedding.
The team at Chanteclaire truly pays attention to detail. I knew from the moment that I walked onto the property that they would take care of me, and that is exactly what happened. We were able to make the space our own and it was comforting to know that there were experienced professionals backing our decisions and available for our consult. Overall great experience!
My wedding at Chanteclaire exceeded my expectations.... And I had high expectations! I don't even know where to start: the food, the staff, the venue, the grounds, my cake, the coordination and all the vendors that they work with,it was fabulous. I was able to sit back and enjoy my wedding (and I feel like the planning was fun and not stressful) because Leigh and Ann and Carla had it all taken care of from day 1. I used Amy from farmhouse fete for my flowers, centerpieces and decor around where we had our ceremony and it was amazing; it was like she read my mind and knew exactly what I wanted. We used higher focus for photos and they also did an amazing job that exceeded my expectations; they knew the venue and the flow of the ceremony and reception and the grounds and they took amazing pictures and a beautiful video from our wedding. The DJ they work with did a great job of organizing and reading the crowd for music choices, everyone was on the dance floor and smiling. Don't even get me started on the food, really, really, really good- I saw some guests running for seconds, I don't think there was anything leftover! I don't know how they cook for so many people and how it is all so delicious. The staff is truely passionate about what they do and it shows- so many smiles at the bar, at the buffet and all around. My guests still tell me what a great time they had and the #1 question is "how did you find this place?" It truely is an amazing venue and given the chance to do it all over again, there is not one thing I would change.
Chanteclaire Farm in Friendsville, MD is the perfect venue for a couple looking for an elegant rustic affair with a relaxed and fun feel. The girls at Chanteclaire take pride in making this venue look amazing, no corner is left untouched. There are so many cute antiques I don't even think I had a glimpse at all of them even after visiting multiple times. The great thing about this place is that everything is included: ceremony, reception, food, cake, DJ, and housing for up to 12 members of family or bridal party. It rained on my wedding day and the DJs are so good at watching the radar we ended up having our dream outside wedding between rain. The DJs are from sounds fun entertainment and they are the greatest. Our guests were barely in their seats, they played great music and kept the party going! Even though I didn't have much time to eat the food was delicious and we ate leftovers for days. Overall, I wouldn't change anything about Chanteclaire, they keep you organized with all the timelines and things leading up to the wedding day and take great care of you!
The staff at Chanteclaire Farm really mean it when they say that they make magic happen at their venue. I have chills just thinking about how perfect our wedding day was! Having a Saturday wedding meant we were able to have the venue from Friday morning until Sunday morning, and that made all the world of a difference for stress levels! We were able to have everything set up Friday morning and then were able to really soak in the experience for the remainder of the weekend. We also took advantage of renting the farmhouse and cabin all weekend for on-site accommodations for the bridal party, which was 100% convenient. Leigh Clarke is the owner and mastermind to this magic, and collectively, she has a very strong, professional team of people around her to make your wedding dreams come true. They are all very, very kind, accommodating, and think out EVERY detail of the day - I saw one lady with a measuring tape setting up the ceremony chairs ensuring they were perfectly spaced! Notably, the ceremony sight is on a natural amphitheater looking onto a pretty pond, and there is peace of mind knowing there is a Plan B in case of inclement weather. There is also a lot of flexibility and opportunity for you to contribute as many or as little decoration as you want, and they have a nice-size storage closet for you to access if you wish to use items that previous brides left behind (i.e., chalkboards, easels, table number holders, etc.). Moreover, Chanteclaire is located in a beautiful area that has vacation vibes, so we were literally astounded by the number of guests that traveled 3+ hours for us and turned it into a long weekend getaway. Importantly, not only did I feel like a million bucks on my wedding day, but I can't emphasize enough how special the GUESTS felt throughout the evening at the reception. They tell you (the bride) to not worry about whether your guests are having a good time, that it's your day, BUT let's get real, you still worry, and I can say with great confidence that my guests had a blast. Here are a few reasons why: Guests are welcomed to the venue with refreshments from their travels. After the ceremony, they are welcomed into the cool, adorable basement of the barn for cocktail hour and appetizers (Get the artisan cheeses!). After cocktail hour, the DJ directs everyone upstairs, where your guests see the inside of the venue for the first time because they keep the barn doors closed (nice touch)! The food is to die for! From the quaint canoe salad bar to the mouthwatering entrees and decadent cake, it will be the best "wedding food" you've ever eaten! Then, they open up the World Famous Silo Bar for guests to treat themselves to drinks. The DJ they have on site will ensure you have "dance floor stories" to tell the next day! We also opted to do the bonfire with s'mores at the end of the night (optional), which was a nice segue into "goodbyes." In its entirety, the night just kept unfolding, for everyone! There is so much depth to the quality of the experience they provide here, and they do it with passion because they love what they do. If you're still reading, I highly recommend Chanteclaire Farm. Your feet won't touch the ground for days because they will elevate your experience to new heights.
Most beautiful venue ever! And the ladies that work there are absolutely fabulous!!! Stress free wedding planning as they are always available to answer questions. Food was incredible. I had at least 20 people tell me that it was the best wedding they had ever been to!
My husband and I could not have asked for a more amazing wedding and venue. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and it was the most relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where everyone felt at home. My family stayed on the grounds at the beautiful farmhouse which was so worth it. The staff at Chanteclaire are the most wonderful people who did everything they could to make our experience wonderful - by the end of the wedding weekend I felt like we had made new friends. The food was absolutely delicious - I have gotten so many compliments on the perfectly cooked steak and the cake was best cake I've ever had in my life. The perfect day ended with an awesome bonfire with all of our guests which just set everything over the top. Everyone has told us how absolutely perfect everything was and we owe that to Carla, Leigh, Ann and all of the other wonderful people at Chanteclaire that made our day so special.
My husband and family/friends LOVED this venue! It was the perfect place for us! It's beautiful and you don't even have to decorate too much! The food and cake was Excellent (there were a lot of compliments on the food) and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. The owners are wonderful to work with.
beautiful venue, great atmosphere, plus caterer/cake/rentals/venue/wedding night place to stay all in one! however, be sure you know who you are dealing with, ask specific questions and don't be afraid to speak up and be assertive with these guys. The owner was the only person I ever dealt with and on the eve of my wedding she deserted me and left me with and employee who invited others to come take over my venue while I was trying to set up, the woman was extremely rude to me, my groom, and our families. Also, our cake did not look the best.. it tasted amazing but I could've done a better job decorating. Also would NOT recommend the optional bonfire.. fun time but not worth the extra money.
Catered to our every need. Made our day just about us. Perfect venue. Great food and beautiful scenery.
Chanteclare Farm is an amazing venue tucked in the hills of western MD. It's about 3 hours outside the DC Metro area and worth every minute of the drive. Fred and Christiane own and run the Farm. Fred is your bartender and Christiane, a french chef, makes all of your food fresh to order! The Farm is gorgeous and the Barn provides a great reception atmosphere!
