The S.O. Venue is a ceremony-first space designed primarily for wedding ceremonies. We also host select professional and creative gatherings including workshops, seminars, networking events, book signings, art exhibits, and content production.

Receptions and catered dining events are not permitted.

Unfortunately no. In staying in compliance with Anne Arundel County zoning laws, The S.O. Venue cannot allow catering or food/beverages to be permitted on the premises. For that reason, TSOV is a non-catering facility focused primarily on ceremony experiences.

We offer four ceremony experiences:

• Classic Ceremony (5 hours)
• Intimate Ceremony (3 hours)
• Micro Ceremony (1 hour)
• Elopement Ceremony (30 minutes)

Full details and starting pricing can be found on our Weddings page and Elopements page..
