The Elkridge Furnance Inn - A magical wedding venue

The Elkridge Furnance Inn was the venue for my daughter s wedding on October 16 2021 We chose the Elkridge Furnance Inn for many reasons First the food is exquisite as we have dined in their restaurant on many occasions enjoying a visit from Chef Dan Wecker to our table to insure our meals were made to perfection Second the architecture of the Inn and the surrounding grounds bordering on the Patapsco River are beautifully appointed and offer a trip back into Maryland s historic pass The grounds were a lovely backdrop for our wedding portraits Third the professional and highly trained staff headed by Donna Wecker handled all our needs and wishes throughout our event The entire event ceremony and reception took place at Elkridge Furnance Inn making it very convenient and welcoming to our guests We could not have asked for a better venue to host our daughter s wedding However I feel it is very important to add that on the day of our daughter s wedding it rained The rain caused the ceremony to be held inside rather than overlooking the Patapsco River the cocktail hour to be on the first and second floors of the Manor House rather than using the front lawn and porch and the reception contained to the large tent which holds close to 200 people Nonetheless it was magical a seamless change of plans and the raindrops tapping on the tent added an angelic touch to the ceremony The cocktail hour was wonderful with guests commenting on the beautiful setting And the reception tent sparkled with mini lights chandeliers and a dance floor that encompassed the entire area My daughter wanted great food and a great time for her guests She said that everything was perfect and more than she expected Rain can be a factor when choosing an outdoor venue but Elkridge Furnance Inn s plan B handled everything perfectly So look to The Elkridge Furnance Inn to make a wedding dream come true whether it rains or not Thank you Elkridge Furnance Inn we will always remember our special day And we will continue to enjoy your restaurant and share our experience with brides-to-be Thank you Patricia Stocks mother of the bride
