It is always a treat to be back in the elegant, historic, and cozy surrounding of Crown Rose. Even the barn is a comfortable and lovely place to be. The previous comment about the barn being filthy perplexes me. It is an outdoor building in the country, maybe dust is the filth referred to? Tara is a welcoming and conscientious hostess, and if I had a reason to book a celebration or event in Frederick County, Crown Rose would be the first place I would consider booking.

Wedding Venue Review:…read more My fiancé and I toured this venue on a Friday morning and absolutely loved it! Not only was the venue gorgeous, but Rachel, the amazing event sales manager, answered all of our questions and made us feel special as we toured for our special day. Rachel emailed me back and forth prior to our tour to answer any questions that I had. She explained that the tour itself was about 20 minutes, but she blocked out an hour of her time incase we had questions on site or for her to explain anything in more detail. We easily used the entire hour discussing how to make our dreams a reality. We have had experiences at other venues where we felt unheard or that our questions didn't matter. That was NOT the case with Rachel as she was attentive to our questions. In the rare instance that she didn't have an immediate answer, or if we wanted to see specific photos of the venue (sparkler send off, ceremony in rain), she took notes and sent an email within a few hours after meeting. After touring other venues, this is by far the best service that we have received.

Attending an Indian wedding ceremony at Dulany's Overlook, this review is from the perspective of a…read moreparticipant v. a bride or groom. Here's our experience. 1) Parking: Located up a long driveaway, there was enough parking for guests without it feeling cramped. 2) Space: For the Indian ceremony, we were outside in their garden. It was beautiful, but also very cold on a windy April evening. Luckily, there were blankets for guests, but it was COLD. The cocktail hour was below the barn with powerful heaters. Upstairs in the old barn was the reception. It felt a little tight for 150 guests, but not bad. 3) History: The property is on an old farm with a brick Colonial era house. The house is where the wedding party got ready for the ceremony. I couldn't find record of this easily online, but it's safe to assume the former owners of the house enslaved people pre-Civil War. It's important to note so we don't take that lightly.

The groom's getting ready area was nice and had a lot of games/activities to keep the men happy throughout the day, as us ladies got ready. We were actually quite jealous of all of the fun things they had- the bridal suite had nothing! My biggest complaint would be that the bridal suite was overrun by bugs- wasps, stink bugs, and lady bugs. The staff was friendly and did their best to remove the wasps (the only bug we cared too much about), but it was still a bit gross.

I've been to two events here in the last few months and I hope the owner extends this space beyond July as their website states. What started as a burned-down building in need of repair was turned into an amazing outdoor space that feels natural, intimate and inviting for small events. From comedy to poetry readings, yoga, to art - this space is really special and if you're in the Frederick area it's worth checking out. There's plenty of free or low-cost parking nearby and it's also around the corner from great restaurants and Carroll Creek so the location couldn't be better.

The space allows for so many interesting events to take place. They host salsa dancing, drum circles, yoga, and many many other things. The living trellis inside is amazing!! The only reason I didn't give it five stars, because I did truly love it, was the lack of a bathroom. There are signs pointing to the "restrooms" but it was simply your average Porta potty. I think having the nicer mobile bathrooms that a lot of outdoor wedding venues use would add so much functionality to the space.

My wife and I worked with Milton Ridge representative Meaghan to make our wedding day perfect. The only issue was due to this being a July wedding, it was extremely hot. The chapel was air conditioned, but I think the amount of guests all in one room made the ceremony very hot. Also there was a problem with the air conditioning in the grooms suite, but since it was recently redeveloped I believe the issue will be fixed soon. The food we served at our reception was fantastic, even though the two of us didn't have much time to eat it since were busy mingling with guests. Overall, my wife and I are very happy with our choice of making Milton Ridge be part of the most important day of our lives. Thank you Milton Ridge, Benjamin Yeager

It has taken me six months to write this review because I wanted to make sure I shared our…read moreexperience thoughtfully rather than out of frustration. From the very beginning, our experience with this venue was disappointing. When we arrived for our scheduled tour, we waited approximately 20 minutes before anyone greeted us. Once someone finally came to meet us, she didn't know who we were or even the year of our wedding, despite us providing that information when scheduling the appointment. During the meeting, we explained our vision for our October 2025 wedding. We also shared that incorporating my Puerto Rican culture into our menu was extremely important to us. We were told that their caterers could "pretty much do anything" and that we would be able to customize the menu with Puerto Rican appetizers and entrées. We also informed them that we had hired our own wedding coordinator. We were assured that this would not be an issue because they regularly worked with outside vendors. The venue itself is beautiful, and that's ultimately what convinced us to book. Unfortunately, the problems started almost immediately after we paid our $1,000 deposit. When it came time to sign our contract, we were quoted a completely different price than the estimate we had received. We later learned that the consultant had mistakenly provided us with 2024 pricing instead of the 2025 pricing--even though we repeatedly stated throughout the meeting that our wedding was in October 2025. The written estimate included prices but did not indicate the year they applied to. When I brought this to the attention of the venue director, I was met with attitude rather than understanding. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, I was told I would have to pay the higher rate. It took my wedding planner stepping in and advocating on our behalf before the venue finally honored the original quoted pricing. Sadly, this set the tone for the rest of our planning experience. Throughout the year, communication was difficult. Questions often went unanswered for days, and when my coordinator reached out for information or clarification, she was frequently met with resistance rather than cooperation. One of our biggest disappointments involved the food. We specifically chose this venue because we were told the menu was highly customizable and that incorporating our culture would be easy. As planning continued, we learned that wasn't true. The only customization we were ultimately allowed was one appetizer. The flexibility that had been presented during the sales process simply wasn't available. We also encountered unnecessary difficulties because we chose not to use the venue's preferred vendors. While we had been told during the tour that outside vendors were welcomed, that did not reflect our experience during planning. On our wedding day, things did not improve. Our coordinator had to push just to gain access to the reception space so she could finish setting up in less than two hours. Throughout the day, no one from the venue checked on us, asked if we needed anything, or made us feel like valued clients. We felt like just another event rather than a couple celebrating one of the biggest days of our lives. Several of our guests were also denied drink service despite not being intoxicated, which created unnecessary confusion and frustration during the reception. At the very end of the night, the only interaction we had with venue staff was being handed a gift and told we were receiving a refund check. When I asked how much it was, I discovered the refund was for one dollar. After everything we had experienced over the previous year, that moment honestly felt insulting. The most disappointing part of this experience wasn't the pricing issue, the vendor restrictions, or even the communication problems. It was the overall feeling that our happiness as a couple simply wasn't a priority. We never felt supported, appreciated, or cared for throughout the planning process. It's unfortunate because the venue itself is beautiful. However, beautiful grounds cannot make up for poor communication, inconsistent information, and a lack of customer care. Six months later, I'm still disappointed by how we were treated. We were happy to invest thousands of dollars in our wedding here, but we never felt like we were treated with the respect and care that every couple deserves. I sincerely hope this feedback is taken seriously so future couples have a much better experience than we did.
