A bridal shower is one of those moments where family and friends gather to celebrate in a more personal way before the big day. At The Barn at Pleasant Acres in Saint Leonard, Maryland, we provide a venue that balances rustic charm with thoughtful comforts, making it easy to host a bridal shower that feels both beautiful and relaxed.
Rustic Charm That Sets the Tone for Your Celebration
The barn’s handcrafted details create a warm and inviting backdrop. Barn wood tables, chandeliers, and string lights add elegance while keeping the style welcoming. Families often add their own décor to personalize the day, and the natural setting outside, with meadows, trees, and golden-hour lighting, makes every photo feel special without extra effort.
Flexible Spaces to Match Your Bridal Shower Guest List
Bridal showers come in all sizes, and our venue adapts to fit them. The main level is ideal for larger gatherings with dining and gifts. For intimate showers, The Lower Level offers a cozy space for gatherings of 40 or fewer guests. The mezzanine overlooking the main floor is perfect for dessert displays or keepsake tables. For those who want to add fresh air to the day, our outdoor lawns can be used for games, mingling, or cocktails.
Dedicated Staff and Services That Make Hosting Simple
Planning a bridal shower should be joyful, not stressful. That’s why our staff stays involved from start to finish. A day-of coordinator helps guide timing and coordinates with your chosen vendors. Our guest care team greets attendees, manages parking, and offers golf cart shuttle service. We take care of the setup, furniture placement, and cleanup so you can enjoy your party with your guests.
Food and Beverage Options That Reflect Your Style
Every bride has her own vision, and we keep the planning flexible. With our open vendor policy, you can bring in the caterer you love, whether that’s a light brunch, afternoon tea, or a full-course meal. If you choose to serve drinks, you provide the alcohol, and our bartenders manage service. Many families also bring in a custom cake or dessert bar to highlight the bride-to-be.
Accessibility and Comfort for Every Guest
We’ve designed our property so every guest feels comfortable. The barn is fully wheelchair accessible with ADA-compliant restrooms and wide entryways. Ample on site parking is available, with golf cart shuttle service to make arrivals easier for older guests. For out-of-town family and friends, lodging is close by in Prince Frederick, Solomons, or Chesapeake Beach.
