I love decorating. So when Kristen Tydings of Visitation Academy asked me to decorate a small suite of rooms for brides and their bridesmaids (Visitation provides a spectacular locale for weddings in it’s early 19th century building and gardens located on 5 walled acres in downtown Frederick) I was intrigued.
“Sure, I’ll throw some furniture in here. Love the high ceilings, original casement windows, wood floors,” I responded.
But I struggle with doing things only half way. So 3 trucks, and many measurements, drawings, and lists later, the empty rooms were reborn.
It’s all open to the public Sunday, February 19 from 1pm-4pm. All of the items are available for sale, but not for pick up until the open house is over. Plan to spend some time there, it’s 5 acres of beauty, and they’ll have music, food, flowers, the whole nine yards on Sunday. Think of it as a wedding reception without the family drama! Have fun.

My son is planning a wedding for next year. Could you provide me with some pricing information. Also are there reception rooms available for post nuptials?
Visitation has a beautiful, park-like courtyard and elegant hall with what must be 20′ ceiling and banks of 15′ tall windows. It’s stunning.
To get pricing information, you’ll have to contact Visitation directly. Kirsten Tydings is the event coordinator and can be reached at
ktydings@thevisitationacademy.org. Congratulations on your upcoming event. So exciting!
Looks gorgeous!
If you’re in the Frederick, Maryland area this weekend, stop in to see the Visitation on Sunday from 1 to 4pm, 200 East Second Street, Frederick, Maryland.
It’s an inspiring, beautiful place (plus they’re putting on a great Open House party at that time!).
