#1Hidden View Farm: Private Manor House and Gardens
Hidden View Farm is a 100+ acre English-style country garden estate in Crownsville, Maryland (10 minutes from Annapolis), operating as an event venue since 1991 and maintained in partnership with the Maryland Environmental Trust. Owned by Richard and Brian, the property features six distinct garden venues, koi-stocked aquatic gardens, rolling meadows, woodland trails, hidden views of the South River headwaters, and a traditional colonial-style brick manor house. The Amish Barn with floor-to-ceiling windows seats 50-60 guests (75 cocktail-style), while outdoor ceremonies accommodate up to 150 seated (with the venue having hosted up to 250). Couples receive day-of use of a fully furnished one-bedroom apartment in the Manor House as a get-ready suite, plus ceremony seating, ceremony arch, yard games and parking guidance; outside caterers are welcome and BYO alcohol requires an Anne Arundel County day-of liquor permit.
