HISTORY OF
The Carriage House
FOR THE WEDDING OF YOUR DREAMS
AND THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE
The Carriage House dates back to the early 1800s.
It once served as a barn and stables for a mansion on a large estate called “Oakland” in Howard County, MD. In its early days, the lower level of the two-story wood and stone building held carriages, a harness room, a granary and individual stalls for horses. The upper level was used for hay storage.
In 1972, Kittamaqundi Community Church purchased the Carriage House and its grounds from the Rouse Company, and completed renovations in 1977. A new floor and two lofts were added to the second level. Finished woodwork and stone fireplaces were added to both floors.
In 2014, we dedicated our Sacred Garden – an oasis of beauty featuring a pond with a waterfall, beautiful trees, colorful landscaping, a labyrinth, benches and a grand archway. It’s the perfect setting for your very special occasion with loved ones.
