Glen Ellen Farm is truly a unique experience, nestled on 30 acres of sprawling hills and stream fed meadows, surrounded by horse farms. This masterfully restored 1850's Greek Revival manor was once the home of Lady Ellen Thompson, presumed ghostwriter of the romance novel, Lorna Doone. The three spacious verandas promise to uplift and inspire guests with beautiful vistas.
Just outside of Frederick, Maryland and under an hour from the D.C. /Baltimore metro area, Glen Ellen Farm is one of Maryland's best kept secrets.

Nestled in a glen between the rolling hills of Maryland's countryside it includes over 30 acres of pristine gardens, a spring-fed pond leading to a beautiful wildflower meadow, a historic property available to the family, offering an unmatched charm and elegant atmosphere to celebrate with family and friends.
Our couples have described our venue as romantic, intimate, sophisticated country, and rustic elegance. At Glen Ellen Farm, romance has deep roots and we pride ourselves on our immaculate gardens and grounds, as well as our historic manor house.

We had so much fun with our twin grandbabies, visiting the animals and getting pumpkins from the pumpkin patch

I had my wedding reception here in June this year. It was originally scheduled for June 2020, but we had to postpone due to Covid. Debbie was incredible, accommodating, and very comforting the entire time. She allowed us to take engagement photos there too. The venue is breathtaking and although outdoor, I was not worried about the chance of rain because the tent structure is so secure. Luckily, we ended up having perfect weather anyway. This venue can accommodate a very large guest list, which is what we originally needed. I love love love the different spaces: the little beach, the barn ruins

Glen Ellen Farm is a wonderful outdoor venue. It is easy to get to, has beautiful places to take pictures, is well kept and although the restrooms are outdoors they were clean and large. The tent area is decorated with beautiful lighting and there were several places for the guest to spend time while exploring the grounds. I would highly recommend Glen Ellen Farm as an outdoor venue!

Going to my son’s wedding Memorial Day weekend was my first time ever being at this wedding venue. The last time I was involved with a wedding was my daughters in 2012. It was at a venue now closed. Those owners were awful and unfortunately so is this venue. Absolutely miserable people to deal with. We had elderly and a newborn. When we arrived it was 54* and raining...they had two walls of the tent open for ‘cocktail’ hour. There were 3 heaters on one of the closed walls, but those were a joke. IT WAS FREEZING...They were asked if we could close the walls, but was told no. Well I am a ask

I attended a wedding there recently and it was an amazing venue. I worked to help set up the reception on behalf of the brides family and worked closely with the staff. They were professional, friendly, experienced, and altogether a pleasure to deal with. Despite the unexpected cold and rain everything ran smoothly and everyone had a wonderful time. It was unfortunate that the weather prevented it from being showcased to it's true and full beauty however it was still exceptional. It definitely does not deserve a one star review and I encourage anyone looking for a venue in the area to seriously

I'm a wedding photographer who recently captured a wedding at Glen Ellen Farm. Prior to the wedding date, I read through some reviews that made me cautious of how I'd be treated by the venue owners. From the moment my team and I arrived, Debra and her assistant were very kind and helpful. They do have rules in place to ensure their property stays in great condition, but they were clear and respectful when giving us instructions. I can only speak to my experience with Glen Ellen as a vendor for one day, but it's a beautiful venue with a great staff that will do their best to ensure your day goes

Glenn Ellen Farm is the perfect setting for a wedding or any celebration. We attended our great neice's wedding. It was beautiful with scenic spaces like a large pond, rock wall, room for a large tent, river rock and colorful flowers decorate the winding paths around the property. Best venue ever!
