The TOWN of LEONARDTOWN has two beautiful outdoor spaces that are available to rent for weddings and special events: the Leonardtown Wharf and the Port of Leonardtown Winery Park. It is also possible to request the use of the Leonardtown Square for fundraisers and special activities (please note that there are more restrictions for use of the Square). The reservation process is as follows:

​​​

Verify Availability:
To inquire about availability, please contact Aris Nazarova, Public Relations & Events Coordinator, at aris.nazarova@leonardtownmd.gov or 301-475-9791. Please note that availability is extremely limited due to the growing demand for park events. In an effort to maintain public access, we intentionally limit bookings to ensure the park remains available for community and resident enjoyment on select weekends.
 

Send the Applications/Schedule a Walk-thru of the Event Space: 
Aris Nazarova will forward the event and permit applications and schedule a wedding or event walk-thru with you at your chosen venue (please try to complete the applications as much as possible before the meeting). Walk-thru scheduling is done Wed-Fri 10am-4pm. 

​

Wedding/Event Walk-thru: 

At your Walk-thru, Aris will discuss the particulars about holding an event at your chosen location (the hours of operation, the amenities, any special requirements, and restrictions). She will also review the application with you at this time. 

 

Securing Your Date
Following your event walk-through, we will place a one-week temporary hold on your requested date. If we do not receive a completed application and payment within that time, the date will be released and made available to other renters.

To confirm your reservation, please submit the completed application along with payment (Cash, Check, or Money Order). Once received, your date will be officially secured on our calendar. Price Sheet

Checks and Money Orders should be made payable to Commissioners of Leonardtown.

Payment Options:

• In Person: 22670 Washington Street, Leonardtown, MD 20650

• By Mail: P.O. Box 1, Leonardtown, MD 20650

• Office Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM

• After Hours: A secure drop box is available on the side of our building for your convenience.

​

The Certificate of Insurance:

Most event venues require you to submit a Certificate of Liability Insurance. The certificate has to be for $1,000,000 and name the Commissioners of Leonardtown as the additional insured. If you have homeowner's or renter's insurance, you can request the certificate from your provider. If you don't have insurance, you can purchase day-of insurance from most insurance brokers.

​

Site Plan or Route Map:
A Site Plan is required as part of your application for any event that includes tents, tables, inflatables, stages, or similar structures. For walks, runs, or events that involve movement throughout the Town, a detailed Route Map must be submitted.
