Wedding Expo Welcomes Engaged Couples, Guests To 1700s Farm By Chesapeake Bay

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — Since 2016, brides-to-be have flocked to Swan Harbor Farm for the annual Wedding Expo.

Terri Glenn, recreation specialist with the city of Havre de Grace, told Patch that there will be all types of vendors on hand at the event to help brides-to-be with various aspects of their wedding and reception.

"Caterers, wedding gowns, florists, DJs, travel agents ... we usually have between 40 and 50 vendors," Glenn told Patch.

While primarily engaged couples in the throes of planning their wedding typically attend the Wedding Expo, everyone is welcome.

"Visitors will enjoy great food samples, flower displays, music and some games to interact with our vendors," Glenn said. "Couples will be able to sample items, interact with the vendors that actually work our events and gather information about our venue and contact information from each vendor."

Swan Harbor Farm sits next to Maryland's Chesapeake Bay in historic Havre de Grace on 531 acres and is operated by the Harford County Department of Parks and Recreation. Every year, Swan Harbor Farm hosts more than 100 outdoor events. There's a restored 1740s farmhouse with a commercial kitchen, landscaped gardens, 50x70-foot tented area over stamped concrete with chandelier lighting, patio, a 300-foot fishing pier, observation deck and a gazebo.

The Wedding Expo will be Nov. 1 from noon to 3 p.m. at Swan Harbor Farm, 401 Oakington Road, Havre de Grace.
