Conditional Use Permit General Overview
Trumpet Vine Farm has been hosting Weddings and Events since 2012. We have applied for
outdoor festival permits every year per the counties request, meeting the criteria set before us
without any incidents or problems within the community. The events have been very
successful in helping to continue to improve and keep the family farm operating.
As outlined in our contract we offer Friday evening for decorating and if the family chooses to
do the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. The main event takes place on Saturday and if the family
elects to, they can come back on Sunday morning to finish cleaning up. So for now, there is
only one event per weekend. The goal is to continue this practice, however we might need to
reserve the ability to do more than one event a weekend if necessary. I have also donated this
area for nonprofit and fundraiser events which are generally smaller events.
We have an open pavilion that has retractable sides enabling our guest to be protected from
inclement weather. The pavilion along with the dressing room have been approved and
inspected by Frederick County inspections department. We also have a large gravel parking
area, and two satellite parking areas if needed.
We are discussing plans for a permanent bathroom facility, as well as another barn or barnlike
structure to enable us the ability to have more events indoors as well as adjusting for inclement
weather.
To date our events start in middle to late April and we usually finish our season the end of
October.
We do utilize outside local vendors for our restrooms, catering, and rentals as well as shuttle
services for our guest to and from the hotels. This helps with keeping guests safe and
minimizing on traffic on the roads. We recommend and promote the local hotels and
restaurants while talking with our guest as well as with our website.
In many cases we do utilize large tents for our larger weddings and events. We always have the
proper inspections from the county and the Fire Marshal's office. We have a very large area
that can accommodate tents of various sizes. Since we have to adjust with the size of the
event, we align the proper size tent as well as the bathroom rentals. We also require event
insurance as stated in our contract to our customers.
