Maryland’s Story Starts Here
Built in 1764 before the start of the American Revolution, Whitehall was home to Horatio Sharpe, the last Provincial Governor of Maryland. The house stands as the finest example of Palladian architecture in the country and was the first National Historic Landmark to be designated in the state of Maryland.
Whitehall remains remarkably preserved with over 100 acres of gardens, fields and park lands. The house is set on a mile and a half of Chesapeake Bay shoreline and is one of the last significant open waterfront spaces in Annapolis.

Christina & Colton
Christina and Colton celebrated their wedding on a beautiful September day. The ceremony area and tent area were brilliantly styled using roses, jasmine vine and magnolia to create a greenery filled event with tasteful outdoor beauty. The couple's ceremony featured a walk from the front steps of Whitehall facing towards the water to highlight the beautiful view of the Bay.

Margaret & Gibbs
For Margaret and Gibbs, the evening was full of family and great friends, fun, laughter and lots of love! Joy, Southern charm and luxury were in abundance for their late June celebration. The bride and groom and their guests enjoyed a tent filled with a bountiful “southern” buffet, delicious caramel wedding cake, beautiful flowers, great music and a full dance floor. Guests also took the opportunity to wander along the path to the waterfront to enjoy the perfect sunset overlooking the shores of Whitehall Bay.

“Complete with a picturesque, Southern Charm & elegance you only see in movies like Gone with the Wind, the main hall is dripping with hand carved mouldings and coral-pink walls; so perfect for a photo shoot based around love! The ambiance of the parties that must have happened in this manor house fill the air, and you are immediately under Whitehall’s spell, the moment you pull in the driveway. Obviously, the perfect venue for our vision.”

As a photographer, it was a delight. There are so many beautiful back drops with lovely old trees and large blooming shrubs. I particularly loved the mowed path to the water's edge to view the sunset.

Our daughter was married at Whitehall in June. It was wonderful. Christie, who represents Whitehall and works with the bride, and John, the caretaker of Whitehall, were both wonderful, cheerful, helpful, quick to respond, and worked well with our family as a team... We are so thrilled that we picked Whitehall. It is such a lovely place to have a wedding, reception or any special occasion.
