Rousby Hall

Rousby Hall is a historic waterfront property in Lusby, Maryland, available for weddings, private events and retreats. Set on more than 16 acres beside the Patuxent River, the estate offers a secluded setting with open lawns, wooded areas, landscaped grounds and a private beach. Couples can choose from several outdoor backdrops for a ceremony, photographs and time with guests.

The grounds can host tented wedding receptions for up to 100 people, with a lawn overlooking the river and a built-in stage near the reception area for live music. For micro-weddings of up to 25 guests, the house can be used if the weather turns poor. The property also has a lap pool and on-site parking. Event organisers should note that tents, tables, chairs, portable toilets and other event equipment are not supplied, so these need to be arranged separately. Catering and bar services are not presented as in-house offerings, and planners can ask the venue for recommendations for suppliers familiar with the site.

Rousby Hall is also suited to a wedding weekend rather than a single-day booking. The house sleeps up to eight guests in four bedrooms and has four bathrooms, offering space for the couple or wedding party to prepare and stay on site. Weddings require a minimum three-night accommodation booking, with a separate fee for use of the grounds. The venue also welcomes enquiries about other private events and retreats, making it an option for organisers seeking a historic, waterside setting in Southern Maryland.
