Vegetarian Catering at Snow Hill Manor, Laurel MD
Ceremony at Snow Hill Manor, Laurel MD |
Labor Day Weekend we were lucky to cater a wedding reception at the Historic Snow Hill Manor in Laurel MD www.pgelegantsettings.com/Our_sites/Snow_Hill_Manor.htm
According to the PG Elegant Weddings website, the property is described as follows: “Snow Hill Manor is a 2-½ story brick plantation house of late-Georgian
style that is located on 15 acres of land in Laurel, Maryland. Situated
on a knoll overlooking the Patuxent River, the home was built in 1755 alongside a main road which connected it to the highway leading to Philadelphia and New York.
One of many homes in the Laurel area formerly owned by the distinguished
Snowden family, Snow Hill Manor has been listed on the National
Register of Historic Places since 1974. The house features four rooms on
each floor which include a modern caterer’s kitchen and brides’ and
grooms’ dressing rooms. The house features wood floors and period-style
furnishings. This historic property may be rented by the public for
meetings, receptions, weddings, and other functions. A 30′ x 60′ tented
brick patio is also available from April to November.”
The weather was a tease: there was a coastal hurricane trying to decide just how much rain was going bless the Washington DC area. We skirted the storm altogether and enjoyed a stunning September afternoon. The ceremony took place in a tranquil setting with blue skies and mild temperatures. The reception took place in the adjacent tent,
