Located in the charming town of Havre De Grace, Maryland, the Vandiver Inn has a rich history that dates back to 1886. Originally built as a stately mansion by John Vandiver, a prominent merchant and politician, the Vandiver Inn has since transformed into one of the most sought-after wedding venues in the region. The Inn’s elegant Victorian architecture and picturesque surroundings have enchanted couples and their guests for decades.

The Vandiver Inn is a testament to the vision of its founder, John Vandiver, who recognized the beauty and potential of the location. The mansion was designed by famed architect Frank E. Davis and features a unique blend of Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival styles. Through the years, the property has been carefully maintained and updated, preserving its historic charm while incorporating modern amenities.

One of the key elements that set the Vandiver Inn apart as an exceptional wedding venue is its dedicated event staff. With years of experience and a passion for creating unforgettable experiences, the team at the Vandiver Inn ensures that each wedding is tailored to the couple’s unique tastes and preferences. From planning to execution, the staff works tirelessly to make every detail perfect, allowing the couple to relax and enjoy their special day.

The Vandiver Inn boasts a large, beautifully-appointed covered outdoor area, providing a versatile space for ceremonies, receptions, and celebrations. With twinkling lights, and spacious dance floor, the covered area is a magical setting that can be customized to fit many wedding themes and styles. This picturesque space serves as a stunning backdrop for lasting memories and breathtaking photos.

Adding to the venue’s allure is its close proximity to the waterfront areas of Havre De Grace. The Inn is just a few blocks away from the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay, providing couples with a variety of scenic locations for wedding portraits. From the serene waters to the historic Concord Point Lighthouse, the town offers countless opportunities for breathtaking photos that capture the essence of your special day.
