Rustic Eastern Shore Maryland Wedding Venue in Ridgely

Cow Barn is an Eastern Shore, Maryland wedding venue in a beautifully restored 1911 dairy barn surrounded by mature trees and countryside in Ridgely. Original barn architecture, soaring ceilings, warm wood details, and spacious grounds give the property its character, while thoughtful modern updates make it comfortable for a full wedding day.

A 1911 Dairy Barn, Ready for a Wedding

The heart of the venue is the dramatic Loft and mezzanine, where the original barn architecture provides a warm backdrop for receptions of up to 150 guests. Edison string lights, chandeliers and pendant fixtures soften the rustic interior, while the mezzanine can provide space for a DJ or band and another perspective on the celebration below. Best of all for warmer and cooler Eastern Shore wedding dates, the Loft is climate-controlled.

Take the Ceremony Outside

Portable ceremony arches allow couples to choose a location that works with their vision, while the Loft provides an indoor option if the celebration needs to move inside.

Stay a Little Longer

For couples who don't want the celebration condensed into a few hours, Cow Barn offers two and three day rentals. These packages include overnight accommodations in the Odella Suite, which has a bedroom with a queen bed, kitchen, bathroom and sitting areas. The separate Milk House gives the other half of the wedding party another dedicated place to get ready.
