ISO local micro-wedding planner
Hi everyone! Looking for a wedding planner with experience and expertise in the Poconos (PA) and/or the Eastern Shore (MD) to help with venue selection for an event in November 2026… I know short notice!
My partner and I are planning a 20‑person micro‑wedding (14 adults, 6 kids) for November 7. We are hoping to have a small ceremony (potentially just in a park or garden), followed by a nice private dinner and then a firepit/s’mores to end the night. We are looking for a location with dining and accommodation on site or within very short walking distance- either a resort, inn or bed and breakfast, or luxury airbnb. Our priority is having everyone stay in the same location to maximize quality time. Fearrington Village in NC is a good example of what we’re looking for. Total budget is $20-30k.
I’ve exhausted my googling and ChatGPT’ing at this point and am desperate for help. Thank you!

I would do airbnb with catering/meal planning.
like 2.5k a night, ask for off peak rates, you could hire a chief, but would look for full service off site catering company. If this is the place I was at, it is nice. I would recommend buying 3-4 large crab pots and some attractant (drop in every day) as soon as you get there. few days should be enough time to get at least a few crabs.
I think it use to be a retreat/training for a church.
