Do you remember your childhood dreams of having a magical wedding day, filled with love and laughter? At Union Mills Public House, we’ll make your dream wedding as wonderful as you’ve always imagined. Our picturesque setting combines historic charm with graceful beauty to make your special day enchanting. Can you imagine walking down the aisle and saying, “I do,” under the light of a stunning chandelier? Perhaps you would prefer to exchange vows outside on our lovely creekside patio.
Our venue is versatile and able to accommodate almost any request. We know planning your wedding is an exciting time, and we’ll infuse every detail with your personal style.
Selecting the Perfect Venue
The first step in planning a personalized wedding is finding the perfect venue. Sitting on Carroll Creek in the heart of downtown, we’re one of the premier wedding venues in Frederick, MD. Our gorgeous setting is a lovely combination of rustic elegance, classic architecture, and peaceful tranquility. As you’re preparing for your big day, take a moment and think about how we can customize our venue to reflect you. Let the timeless beauty of Union Mills set the stage for your walk down the aisle.
Customized Décor for Weddings
Every detail of your wedding should mirror your unique love story. Whether you want to have a small, intimate ceremony or a really big celebration, we have a wide range of options available, and we’ll work closely with you to create a setting that is distinctly yours. If you met at the beach you might want to use sea shells as part of the centerpieces on the tables. If you’re history buffs, maybe you can take decorating ideas from a specific time period — think 1920s flapper or maybe take inspiration from the wild and crazy 80s — and create the ambiance you want.
Your imagination may be working overtime right now, and there are probably a hundred different wedding decoration ideas floating around in your head, but try to focus on the ones that best reflect your love story. Selecting one of our preferred florists for arrangements can also showcase your unique style and personality by adding personal touches to highlight who you are on your special day.
Culinary Creativity
Food is always an important part of any wedding celebration, and we take pride in our culinary creativity. Our customizable menu options allow you to design a dining experience that’s tailored to your personal tastes, preferences, and dietary needs. From hors d’oeuvres to desserts, our talented chefs will work with you to put together a menu to delight your guests. We’ll incorporate your favorite flavors and dishes into the menu to create a memorable and delicious experience that you’ll love!
Personalized Wedding Entertainment and Activities
Entertainment is often one of the best parts of an unforgettable wedding, and we offer a variety of options to help personalize your celebration. Our on-site stage can support a live band or one of our preferred DJs. Whatever you choose, we’ll work with you to create a playlist designed to set the perfect tone for your reception. All you’ll have to think about is dancing the night away. You can also add a little bit of fun with interactive activities and entertainment options. From table games to photo booths, and even karaoke, you can let your creativity take over as you customize your night of entertainment!
Meaningful Rituals and Traditions
Incorporating meaningful rituals and traditions into your wedding ceremony can be a beautiful way to personalize your celebration. Whether you’re honoring cultural customs or creating new traditions of your own, we offer the perfect setting for your special moments. There are many traditions you may want to consider including in your celebration, such as:
- Lighting a unity candle to symbolize the coming together of two families or the forming of a new union.
- A handfasting ceremony where the couple’s hands are bound together with ribbons or cords, symbolizing their commitment to each other. This ancient Celtic tradition can add a unique and meaningful element to your ceremony.
- A sand blending ceremony where the couple pours different colored sands into a container, symbolizing the blending of their lives and families. Similar to lighting a unity candle, it creates a visual representation of unity and the coming together of two people.
- The groom breaking a glass is one of the most well-known Jewish wedding traditions. It symbolizes many things including the idea of new beginnings, as the breaking of the glass marks the start of a new chapter in the couple’s lives together.
- A tradition with African roots, the jumping the broom ritual involves the couple jumping over a broom together, symbolizing the sweeping away of the old and the welcoming of the new.
- A fire circle ritual where the couple circles a fire together serves as a symbol of their commitment and the challenges they will face and overcome together during their marriage.
In addition to these rituals, during your reception, you can invite special guests to come forward to share stories and memories.
