Rosewood Farms

What Rosewood Farms does

Rosewood Farms is a family-owned luxury barn wedding and event venue operated by the Biddle family on a 44-acre property at 1316 Singerly Road in Elkton, Maryland. The company opened in 2018 after the Biddle family converted a former farm and winery into a year-round, climate-controlled event destination featuring two purpose-built barns — The Rustic Barn (ceremony space seating 175+ guests on a historic stone foundation) and The Rose Barn (6,000+ square foot reception venue for up to 275 guests with a silo-converted bar) — plus outdoor spaces, getting-ready suites, and on-site parking.

The business monetizes primarily through exclusive full-day venue rentals for weddings, with couple budgets typically ranging $40,000-$60,000+ (inclusive of all vendors). Revenue streams include wedding venue rentals, mandatory in-house beverage packages via the company's Willow & Oak sub-brand (wines, beers, cocktails, and a tap truck), corporate and private event rentals, and a menu of venue enhancements (whiskey barrels, arches, yard games, photo booths). Catering is supplied exclusively through an approved vendor list of five caterers priced at $80-$130 per person, and couples must select wedding planners from a curated approved list, creating a managed vendor ecosystem.

Rosewood serves two primary customer segments: wedding couples (the dominant segment, planning 12-18 months ahead) and corporate/private event planners across Maryland, Delaware, and southeastern Pennsylvania. GTM is direct-to-consumer through the company website, with tour requests and brochure downloads as primary conversion mechanisms, supplemented by social media, blog content, virtual venue tours, and reciprocal referrals from the approved vendor network. The company is privately held with no external funding, employs 11-50 staff, and is led by co-founders Rick and Anne Biddle alongside family members Katie White (Business Manager) and Matt Biddle (Construction Operations Manager), with an operational leadership team including a Director of Operations and four Venue Managers.
