General Business Requirements (All Vendors). Almost every vendor operating in Maryland must obtain a Trader’s License (often called a Business License) from the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the business is located. The cost varies by county (typically $100+ annually). Out-of-State: If you live outside Maryland but work within the state, you may need a non-resident license or to register your business with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation.

Insurance: LNHF, just as many other venues, requires the vendors below to carry General Liability Insurance ($1M–$2M coverage) and name the LNHF venue as an “additional insured”. LNHF contracts always require General Liability Insurance. Vendors without insurance will not be allowed to operate at LNHF.

Below is a list of pre-approved and highly recommended Southern Maryland Wedding Venue vendors. All other vendors must be approved by Lower Notley Hall Farm and must present licensing and proof of insurance, including photographers as applicable. If your vendor is not approved by Lower Notley Hall Farm, they will not be allowed to work at the venue. Approval of any vendor not listed below must be approved by Lower Notley Hall Farm, LLC in writing.

Additional Vendors may have been added to LNHF’s official list since the last updating of this website.
