Mary's Hope on Church Cove

Mary's Hope on Church Cove is a historic Victorian estate in St. Inigoes, Maryland, available for weddings and other private celebrations. Built in 1893, the property brings together period architecture, landscaped grounds and a private waterfront setting on Church Cove, with views across the water and sunset-friendly ceremony locations.

Couples can choose from several places for their ceremony, including the waterfront, lawn and garden areas, or indoor rooms in the manor. Receptions can be held inside or outside, with tent options for larger gatherings. The estate lists capacity for up to 250 outdoor guests and up to 125 for an indoor reception. Its rooms, grounds and distinctive architectural details also provide backdrops for photographs throughout the day.

Two on-site bridal suites give the wedding party space to prepare at the venue. An on-site coordinator supports couples from their initial visit through the celebration, helping them plan how to use the property. The venue welcomes couples who want to bring their preferred caterer, florist and DJ, making it possible to shape the day around their own plans.

Beyond weddings, Mary's Hope can host celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries and showers. The historic house and grounds offer a choice of settings for gatherings, from intimate indoor occasions to larger outdoor events. Tours are available by appointment, giving event planners and couples an opportunity to view the estate and discuss their plans in person.
