Picture an entire weekend where your celebration unfolds with complete privacy across 13.5 acres in Saint Leonard. At The Barn at Pleasant Acres, we host only one wedding per day, so your family and friends have our 8,500 square feet of event space and sprawling grounds exclusively to themselves. From your ceremony to your last dance, your wedding weekend becomes a true retreat rather than just a few rented hours.
A wedding weekend at The Barn at Pleasant Acres offers exclusive access to 13.5 acres and 8,500 square feet of space, allowing couples to host ceremonies, receptions, and rehearsals without interruption. With on-site coordination, setup and teardown, guest services, and flexible vendor options, it creates a private, seamless celebration from start to finish.
What Makes an Exclusive Weekend Different
With 8,500 square feet of event space and grounds that sprawl across 13.5 acres, you have room to breathe. You might gather your closest family in our Lower Level, which holds up to 40 guests comfortably. The full celebration unfolds with space for 200 guests for both your ceremony and reception. The Mezzanine overlooks the main floor, giving your wedding weekend venue a perfect vantage point during cocktail hour.
Our Team Handles All Details
Your day of coordinator works directly with all your vendors, managing the timeline so you can focus on your guests. Our guest care staff parks cars and runs the golf cart shuttles, making sure your grandmother gets from the ceremony on the front lawn to the reception inside without any worry. We handle every bit of setup and teardown, from arranging our handcrafted barn wood tables so you can make your decorations look perfect to breaking everything down after your last dance. When your photographer wants to capture golden hour shots around the property, we know exactly where the best light hits.
Spaces That Flow Naturally
Start with your ceremony on our front lawn, then move inside to the climate-controlled main level for cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. The barn wood finishes in our indoor bathrooms add character while keeping everyone comfortable. Your cocktail hour can happen indoors or out, and our full lighting system transforms the space as day turns to evening. Chandeliers cast a warm glow for dinner, then colored ceiling lights set the mood for dancing.
Making the Most of Your Weekend
Many couples, for their rehearsal, take advantage of our coordinator to walk through the ceremony logistics. The main event includes the entire property dedicated to your celebration, from morning preparations until the last dance. If you have out-of-town guests, they’ll appreciate being just minutes from Jefferson Patterson Park or Solomons Island for some Maryland sightseeing between events.
Conclusion
Your wedding weekend should feel like yours, not like you’re borrowing someone else’s space for a few hours. That’s why we include everything from the chiavari chairs at your ceremony to the staff who load your car with gifts and décor at the end of the night. We want you to leave feeling like family, because by then, you are.
