About this venue

The Donaldson Brown Riverfront Event Center is a stately setting for an up-scale wedding experience whose tone is evident upon arrival. Located 200 feet atop Mount Ararat, the estate overlooks the Susquehanna River. The manor’s rooms feature original fixtures such as its spiral stairways, arched doorways, antique chandeliers, and subtle wall moldings for an effect of refined elegance. Its manicured lawn looks out over the deep waters of the Susquehanna River providing a stunning backdrop for an outdoor ceremony. Couples can celebrate in the lap of luxury, with overnight accommodations in 17 exquisitely decorated rooms. This stunning manor has presided over the Susquehanna River since 1939. The mansion’s red-brick façade is a perfect example of Georgian-Revival style popular at the time. One of Maryland’s most iconic houses, it was bequeathed to the University of Maryland in 1965.
