wedding venue Fort Meade reviews, Starling Ranch Barn On The Lake

“This venue is absolutely beautiful!! I came here for an event when I was in high school and knew then that I needed to get married here. Fast forward 5 years and I just had my wedding here! The barn is gorgeous and its right on the lake which makes for amazing sunset views. It is also secluded so you don't have to worry about city noise during your event. The owners are so sweet and very accommodating. They helped make our day absolutely perfect. This venue is very reasonably priced which made having a wedding much more doable for my husband and I. The price includes a lot of decorations and the owner provides tables and chairs. Overall, I highly recommend this venue, for the beauty and the sweet people!”

“From the time we got engaged , I knew almost instantly where I wanted our wedding to be! Mrs. Diane quickly got us in to tour the property & with no hesitation, we booked with Starling Ranch Barn on the Lake! The property is absolutely beautiful with the ceremony site overlooking the lake which we just so happen to live on along with a very large beautiful rustic barn able to accommodate large weddings. The bridal suite is gorgeous and held myself plus 10 of my girls/moms along with 2 makeup artist & 2 hair stylists! We were able to host our rehearsal dinner here as well and had 2 days to be able to set up and get ready for our big day! Mrs Diane and Mr Johnny worked so hard to make sure everything was landscaped and in top shape for our big day. They even built a pergola with hanging lights to accommodate our cocktail hour! All of our family & friends have raved about how beautiful our wedding was at Starling Ranch Barn on the lake! Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special! We love you so much! 🩷 Trent & Lindsay Spears”

“We absolutely love this venue. We have used it for our wedding and our high school fishing banquet. Such a pretty, peaceful location to have an event. Mr and Mrs Starling are amazing and always willing to help in any way they can. I would highly recommend this venue to all of my family and friends.”

“We had my daughter’s wedding at Starling Ranch Barn on March 29, 2025. It is a beautiful venue, and the owner Mrs. Diane is amazing! She worked so well with us to make sure every detail of the day went perfectly! She is amazing to work with, very kind, and really makes you feel at home! I can’t say enough good things about her! This is definitely an awesome place to have a big event! I highly recommend them! They are amazing!”

“We had a college graduation party for my son at the Barn on May 24, 2025. We were really surprised at how nice the venue really was. It’s one thing to see it online, but it’s even better in person. The owners were so exceptionally nice and were there to help us in any capacity. She even tried to help us set up. Mrs Starling is a jewel!! She was a real blessing. I recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. It’s spacious, clean, and the bathrooms were nice. I’ll definitely be coming back again for my next event. Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Starling, you guys were great!!”
