Celebrate Your Love Locally
The Hall at Huntingtown is a local wedding venue and arguably Calvert County’s best kept secret. Attached to the Huntingtown Volunteer Fire Department & Rescue Squad building, the venue boasts a beautiful and spacious banquet hall draped with a sparkling crystal grand chandelier, sizeable windows, cathedral ceilings, and a neutral color pallet and decor to make any theme come to life comfortably.

The main ballroom holds up to 275 guests, with a separate ceremony room available within the hall for up to 150 people. Many clients will utilize both rooms as a way to save money and avoid the need to travel between the ceremony and reception. While the entrance to the hall is located at the finish of a large staircase, the venue is handicap-accessible with an elevator available to take guests to the second floor.

Rental of the ballroom includes tables, banquet chairs and of course, a movable dance floor. Personalized professional wedding day coordination is also offered to help with decorations, bar staffing and coordinating vendors.

Banquet Facilities Manager Carole Fonfara has worked at the hall for over ten years and knows first hand just how busy their schedule can get. “We host about 30 weddings a year, sometimes three in one weekend.”

All weddings take place Friday through Sunday, with only one event scheduled per day. For back-to-back events, Carole says the clients will bring decor a week prior for a mock set-up. The team at the hall then sets up the decorations complimentary on the day of the wedding. In fact, they also help tear down at the end of the night. “All the client needs to do is bring in their personal decor,” says Carole, who acts as the day-of coordinator and wedding planner for all events.

Carole said interested clients can book their date as soon or as far out as they want. “If we have the date available, we can do it, if you’re looking for a specific date and it’s special to you, don’t wait.”

Rental fees are based on a four-hour reception; though additional time is available upon request. All bar service is done through the hall, as opposed to the caterer, with tons of different options and customizable packages sure to make any party a good time.

Outside of the hall there is plenty of parking and a large garden for photos. In addition, lodging is located nearby in Prince Frederick, about seven miles down the road. Carole says one of the things that makes the hall unique is they truly care about the bride and groom and making their vision of their wedding come to life. “We want to make sure that every event is as good as it can be, and we have excellent caterers to choose from. It’s a gorgeous room and can make anybody look back and say I had a beautiful wedding.”
