Our Dream Wedding
If we could rate higher, we would! We would highly recommend Caboose farm to anyone looking for a peaceful, secluded and romantic venue. The staff at Caboose, especially Colby and Katy, went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and that our day was nothing less than perfect. They were so easy to work with and made us feel at ease planning a wedding for almost 250 people. Would highly recommend if you are planning a large wedding, the setting offers various locations for people to gather throughout your event to meet everyone's needs. They were also very accommodating with transporting guests with physical limitations and were so kind, caring and patient while doing it. Don't look any further - book Caboose today, you won't regret it!

Caboose farm is a must
I could write a novel on why you should choose Caboose Farm as your wedding venue. For starters, it is GORGEOUS. My husband and I got married here October 2023, and it couldn’t have been a more picturesque location. You’re surrounded by the Catoctin mountains, and the fall foliage was such an added bonus on top of the already amazing views. There are several outdoor locations on the property you can choose from (in addition to the indoor event barn) to have your ceremony at. All are so uniquely different and beautiful.
There are multiple houses on the property that you have the option to stay at. This was immediately a huge selling point. The houses are immaculate, filled with character, charm, and history-not to mention they are BIG, so you can fit so many of your wedding party, family members, etc in them. It truly gives you the whole “wedding weekend” package. There was something so special about arriving to the venue the Friday before and checking into the houses, knowing they were all yours for the weekend, and all of the festivities that would take place. At the end of the night when the reception ended, the guests that chose to stay in the houses could all come back. It was such a fun “after party” vibe all right there. Nothing was better than changing into comfy clothes, and continuing the celebration with your closest family and friends into the night.
Our absolute number one selling point was Colby and his team at Caboose Farm. We toured the venue, and immediately knew we didn’t need to tour any others. Caboose Farm was, without a doubt, the one. Colby’s attention to detail is unmatched. We booked our venue just shy of two years before the wedding date, and in that time period Colby answered any and every question imaginable that I had. He ensured that our day ran seamlessly. From the morning of, and throughout the entire day Colby was on top of everything, communicating with all of our different vendors, making sure everything was coming together harmoniously.
We took our wedding photos while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour, and he transported us, our photographer and videographer around the property to the best photo locations, making things extremely efficient, as well as keeping us on schedule. Since we missed our cocktail hour hors devours he even brought a sampler of them and a few drinks out to us and our wedding party during pictures so we wouldn’t miss out. Anything I could think of, Colby and his team were already two steps ahead.
Our family and guests raved about how beautiful the venue was, and how overall fun it was that we could all stay on property. It really gave that “destination wedding at home” feel.
Colby and his team are so genuine, and we are so happy with our decision to have our wedding here.

Beautiful versatile venue with amazing staff
I am so so so glad we chose Caboose Farm to be our wedding venue.
First off, what a special place- we just loved the way it feels there. The property is so quiet, serene, beautiful, and well maintained. AND it is perfect to be able to have a true "wedding weekend" all in one place. From rehearsal dinner, to welcome party, to ceremony, reception, after party, and Sunday send off brunch -- it was perfectly suited to do it all. AND on top of all that, the majority of our guests were able to stay right there on site which just made for more quality time and more convenience.
It's worth noting that we live in San Diego, so we planned this whole wedding from a distance and I think the number one reason that was possible was because we were working with Colby. From the very beginning when we first inquired about the venue, Colby's responsiveness and kindness via e-mail & phone is what helped us seal the deal, blind, from 3000 miles away. And that level of helpfulness continued all the way through the wedding weekend. Colby and his staff experience weddings almost every single weekend all year long- but they still somehow made our big day feel so special and prioritized. Colby was super accommodating and supportive, and was a great help throughout the event and in the hours leading up to it. We had an AMAZING wedding day (really wedding weekend) and I’m CERTAIN having Colby and the rest of the staff is part of what made it so great.
Our wedding ended up being 97 total guests. We very comfortably had 11 tables + a sweetheart table and a great sized dance floor.
The other thing worth noting-- It never ever felt like we were getting nickel and dimed, getting a surprise fee added, or being limited by venue "rules" --which was a huge plus.
Family Reunions
“We had a terrific experience renting the Lincoln, Adams, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower houses for our son's wedding. The wedding was held at Thorpewood, which is in close proximity to Caboose Farms. We needed a place to house many out-of-town family and friends, and Caboose Farms was perfect for this. Every house was sparkling clean, modernized and perfect for a family gathering. The staff, was attentive and responsive to our every question and need. The Lincoln House is particularly nice with its upstairs and downstairs seating areas and porches, multiple bathrooms, as well as open and well-stocked kitchen, which allowed us to comfortably host a family breakfast for 60-70 people. We highly recommend Caboose Farms!”

Writing Workshop Retreat at Caboose Farm
Colby and the staff at Caboose Farms made our writing workshop retreat effortless and incredible. Colby was available and made sure our every need was met. The houses are modern, well maintained and well-stocked, and the event space / meeting room was perfect for our group meetings. Caboose is hands down the best workshop location we've ever worked with, and we will definitely be back!
