Morningside Inn

An absolutely beautiful venue! Came into Frederick for a wedding and was so impressed by how beautiful it was here. It’s cozy yet expansive, and the surrounding nature is the perfect backdrop. The majority of the parking is up a rather long staircase with a shorter railing, but that was the only slight negative about our visit and it had a negligible effect on our overall enjoyment. This is a perfect spot for more than just weddings, and I would definitely book an event here if we weren’t from states away. I could have stayed here and relaxed for hours just taking in the scenery. I assume the food we were provided was from in house, and that was also very good! There was an open bar for our event, too, and the drinks were poured very strong - no complaints here!

We got married on October 22, 2022. The day was PERFECT! Our original coordinator was Dawn and there was a lack of communication for the first several months and she forgot things I told her.
However, she left, and our new coordinator Megan was AMAZING! She checked in and kept us up to date on what was needed. Megan made sure everything was set up perfectly and that nothing was out of place. There was literally no issue other than I over thought our vows as our officiant, my Father in law, had me repeat after him. In other words I messed up a line, but I laughed about it then and still do now.
Thank you for everything! The venue was beautiful and all our pictures turned out perfect!

Edit: Also the food was amazing! I’ve been to other weddings and honestly the food at Morningside was the best!

This facility is absolutely gorgeous inside and outside. Over the years, both of our sons have enjoyed end of season cross country banquets held here during their time as high school student athletes. These always take place during the holiday season and the decor is so charming and lovely. The buffet offers a wide range of options to suit all palates and the staff have always been top notch.

Also worth noting is the affordability of this dining option compared to other catering choices. Not only is Morningside Inn the best bargain, it is the highest quality and these student athletes have amazing memories here!

This UHS banquet tradition began several years ago because of the superb (then) head coach, Tim Snyder, who told us Morningside Inn held a special place in his heart as it is where his wedding reception took place.

The staff is amazing! They were so helpful, flexible and accommodating. They helped to make our wedding the perfect night. We got so many compliments on how beautiful Morningside Inn was!

I had a beautiful white wedding at Morningside Inn this past weekend. The backdrop of the snow was awesome for photos and the fireplace was roaring which was just an added bonus. Shannon kept the event running smoothly and BIG thanks to the staff for clearing the long driveway of snow so well - no one had any issues getting to the venue depite the 2 to 3 inches we were dealing with. This place runs like a well oiled machine and I, as the bride, was able to focus solely on my guests and new husband, not on the other logistics. Big thanks to Lesli also for being so available for communication throughout this process. So happy with our decision to go with Morningside Inn, especially in the winter!

This venue was absolutely stunning ! We held our whole wedding here and I couldn't be happier with that decision. The staff was absolutely wonderful and so kind. They took care of everything from start to finish. Lesli helped us from the very start to the day of the rehearsal and Melissa took over for the day of the wedding.
The chef there is phenomenal ! We went for the tasting event there that was just 2 months before the wedding and we had such a hard time deciding what to put in for the buffet. We decided on a BBQ Beef Brisket and Teriyaki Glazed Chicken Breast which turned out better than the day we tasted it ! I have a very big family thats filled with picky eaters but everyone was amazed at how good the food was ! Frankly, everyone couldn't get over how beautiful and perfect the day was ! If you are looking for a venue, I would highly recommend Morningside Inn !
The only downside was that we couldn't take home any left over food from the buffet.

Beautiful venue. Great service. Excellent food! Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The roast beef was excellent. The couscous was incredible. The sides and condiment offerings were all above and beyond. Desert was beautiful and decadent. And even the sweet tea they make is exactly the way we like it in the South, strong and sweet!

We just had our wedding here this past Friday. Couldn't have been happier. Even on a rainy day (the sky opened up just long enough for our ceremony :] ) the grounds were still just as beautiful. Food was amazing, ESPECIALLY the brisket.

Also, I'm sure all the coordinators here are great, but Lauren Conklin was absolute joy to work with. Deffinitely recommend her!

All in all, our experience was great, it was affordable, and we'll definitely be sure to refer all our friends and family here.

I had the opportunity to DJ the wedding of Mr and Mrs Borja at this beautiful venue and my experience was great. This is one of the most beautiful and scenic venues I have been to, the event Planner Sharon was very helpful and professional. Hoping to get to DJ here again. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a venue away from the city, great for pictures and friendly staff.

Our daughter chose Morningside Inn for her wedding venue. We had an outdoor ceremony. The weather and fall colors were perfect. The setting and property is fantastic. It is way off the road, which makes for a very secluded location. The grounds were beautiful. The building, while not ornate, was simple but dignified.

The staff were AMAZING. Leslie was the most amazing hostess and coordinator ever! She was very gracious and super easy to work with. The rest of the staff were also top notch. Everyone was very attentive, kind and made our families and all of our friends feel like they were the most important people in the world for the day.

The staff did all the decorating for us using items we provided. They took them down and carefully packed them for us to take home at the end of the night. This was so helpful and a nice touch.

The food was very good. We had a buffet dinner. They prepared plenty of every item. Everyone had plenty of opportunity to eat and visit without feeling rushed. For buffet food the quality was among the best I have had.

Overall, I am super happy with the entire experience. Not only was everything such a great experience, but the value compared to the other venues we considered was far better as well.

Amazing venue for wedding. Mine was recently in May and the experience of working with this nice people was amazing! 100/10 experience. Venue is pretty and nice!

Incredible, beautifully maintained 300 acre estate perfect wedding venue. Food was delicious and staff well organized.

Held our daughter's wedding here. We utilized the vendors associated with the venue. It made the wedding planning easy. Everyone was responsive and genuinely enjoyed planning the big day. Food was excellent. DJ great. Photographer very active with taking pictures. Same with videographer. Sage bakery made excellent cakes. The venue and view is simply beautiful. All involved made it a wonderful day.

We’ve had several sports banquets at Morningside. It’s a beautiful location, reasonably priced, and it’s so nice to have the upper room for dinner and the lower for presentations

Such a beautiful, quiet hidden gem. The staff was outstanding.

We attended a wedding held here. The venue was beautiful with a country setting. Everything was done according to schedule and a fun time held by all. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice.

The staff at the Morningside Inn was very accommodating and has a great selection of food. They had everything set for us so our event would run smoothly. It’s my 3rd year hosting an event here for our group and we will most definitely be back!

Every year we have our High School team Banquet, and they do a lovely job. The girls love the ice-cream bar! The staff is professional, accommodating, and very helpful.

Megan and the Morningside staff were truly amazing and made all of our dreams a reality for our January wedding. My wife and I could not have asked for a more perfect experience. Morningside took care of everything for us. There were no worries or anything that we had to deal with on our special day. The venue is so beautiful. We also used their spectacular onsite flower shop and caterer. All our guests complimented on how beautiful the ceremony and reception were.

My wedding was just as I envisioned it. The venue is beautiful. The food was great. The people were good! The only way to have an extraordinary but reasonably priced wedding in my opinion. Would absolutely recommend!
