See what our clients are saying about their experience with us.
Our wedding on 10/22/2022 was absolutely perfect and it's largely due to the hard work and dedicated staff at Ceresville Mansion...
Planning was made easy because it is an all-inclusive venue. We didn't have to worry about coordinating outside vendors because they came as part of the package. This helped take away a lot of the stress of wedding planning. The food was SPECTACULAR! Everything is of the highest quality, and no guests were left hungry!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ceresville Mansion in Frederick Maryland for a fundraising event. The venue was absolutely stunning, with a beautiful view of the countryside. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the food was top-notch. The menu was varied and had something for everyone, and the presentation was exquisite. The event was a great success, and I would highly recommend for any special occasion. Five stars!
Ceresville Mansion exceeded our expectations in every way!...
Ceresville also offers a Vendor Package with AMAZING vendors! We loved that Ceresville was all inclusive, including vendors. It made our planning stress free and fun!
The mansion is absolutely stunning inside & out and the outdoor Terrace was beautiful even in February. Our guests are still raving about the food. The staff was super friendly and accommodating throughout the evening. We highly recommend this venue!
Ceresville was one of the first venues we looked at. We toured about six venues in total, but Ceresville kept being on the top of our list for the venue’s history and charm, beautiful outdoor spaces, catering already included, and proximity to a downtown area to entertain our guests over the weekend...
We would 100% recommend Ceresville to anyone looking for a unique and beautiful venue in Frederick
The Knot
Food was incredible good! The Lemon Decor did an excellent job decorating! The value of the meals was incredible even with all the upgrades was totally worth every penny!...
Definitely go to a public tasting to meet the vendors and taste the food. I change my mind after I did this and made different choices.
Wedding Wire
I highly recommend Ceresville Mansion to anyone seeking a one stop shop for catering, entertainment, and floral/decor!...
Every detail was flawlessly executed and our food was incredible! We will always be able to look back on our wedding day and smile. It was perfect in every way. Thank you!

Yes! We have our amazing Day of Coordinators (we also call them Banquet Managers some times). And they are included with your rental for every kind of event hosted at Ceresville.

For outdoor events your event planner will have helped you decide on a rain plan. A ceremony or outdoor reception would be relocated to our Grand Ballroom. And yes! We can host both the ceremony and the reception in the Ballroom.
Children between the ages of 2 and 12 are only alowed to take part in the Ceremony and have t be supervised by their parents at all time. This is for their safety and well being as the mansion has mutiple open flame fireplaces, sharp objects, antique furniture, and open second floor balcony. We want to make sure you have a pleasant time. Children under that age and over 12 can be part of the whole wedding including the dinner reception.
Only exceptions to be made are if the couple getting married has children of their own in that age range.
Short answer...no. But why would you want to? We are a full service food and beverage caterer with the best event food. Really all our guests rave about the food for years after each event. We're sure you've already heard great things about it.
No. We are licensed by the state and county to sell and serve alcohol so they don't allow us to have any other controlled substances on premisses.
With that said, we are always open to getting you any alcohol that we might not have on our typical menu.
And please let your party and guests know that any outside alcohol that will be brought and consumed on the premisses will have to be disposed of and our staff will have to enforce that law. We want you all to have a great day with great memories and stay safe while doing that.
No, but there typically aren't many events where we have leftovers, since we prepare for your guest count.
The Frederick County Department of Health requires that any leftover food be handled only by Ceresville Mansion, the licensed food service facility.
Yes we do! We're thrilled to be a partner with The Lemon Decor. And we offer a variety of packages at AMAZING prices (and I mean soooo good). See our Decor packages on our All-Inclusive Weddings Page.
Our staff will be available to help place and direct certain decor like place cards, signage, and party favors.
We do require a point of contact that is responsible for gathering and taking all customer items at the end of the night. Your event planner will assist you in organizing items that can be placed by our staff and what will need to be assigned to your point of contact. This ensures that all of your items get safely gathered and taken care of.
Yes, we allow candles at the tables as centerpieces and on the ballroom mantel. Everywhere else on the premisses we recommend using LED candles for safety. We'd be happy to help with tapper, votive, cylinder, and even floating LED candles.
