About

On WeddingWire since 2007

Located in Baltimore, Maryland, 1840s Plaza is a historic wedding venue with 13 gorgeous rooms and suites at the 1840s Carrollton Inn, a boutique hotel right outside of Little Italy & Restaurant Row in Harbor East. The property offers a tranquil courtyard garden with bistro lights, perfect for an outdoor ceremony, while still having three indoor levels for both ceremonies and receptions.

Facilities and Capacity

Once you encounter the stately front gate of the charming venue, it opens to reveal a garden courtyard that leads to the boutique hotel, the 1840s Carrollton Inn. You’ll see three stories of architectural excellence fronted by a historical red-iron facade that rises before guests majestically. From first glance, the 1840s Plaza serves as the ideal setting for your picture-perfect wedding. As you and your guests are swept away into the grace and beauty of an era past, life and excitement will glow through the many sparkling windows. The three floors of the picturesque Fava Building are all available for your special day. From the Latin-inspired first-floor called Cabaret to the second floor. City Lites, the unique decor will create a charming atmosphere for the joyous occasion. The second floor also features authentic Baltimore vignettes, historical White Tower diner, and a lounge-like style. In addition to those two spaces, the 1840s Plaza boasts an elegant 1840s Ballroom with sweeping city views, hardwood dancefloor, crystal chandeliers, and hand-painted murals of historic Baltimore. The Ballroom is one of the most sophisticated and unique in the Inner Harbor area. No matter the vision or budget, there is a fitting venue for your day.

Services Offered

The 1840s Plaza’s experienced event team are ready to assist couples with the many details of their big day and answer the questions that come up during the planning period. From start to finish, they guarantee the day is flawlessly planned and executed, whether it’s for your engagement party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, or elopement. They also orchestrate rehearsals, coordinate with other wedding professionals, and make special arrangements for customs and traditions to meet couples’ specific needs. Baltimore is a melting pot of nationalities and cultures, and the historic venue embraces the diversity and heritage of their couples. In addition to all of the planning services, 1840s Plaza offers setup, cleanup, all-inclusive packages, get-ready rooms, and event rentals such as chairs, tables, furniture, dance floors, and altars and arches. Other services provided include:

  • Wi-Fi
  • Parking with Valet

Wedding at 1840s

The 1840s Plaza was absolutely fabulous from start of wedding planning to wedding day. They were kind, professional and organized. The venue and Inn are absolutely stunning. On our wedding day, great care was taken so the courtyards and gardens were breathtaking and all of our guests were well taken care of. We opted to stay in the gorgeous Inn on-site for the weekend and everyone loved their rooms and included breakfast was fabulous. The Plaza is beautiful and historic. A perfect option for any Baltimore event.

Killing the Game

Each individual working for 1840s was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Stasia and Corrie were particularly helpful, confident, and assuring both leading up to and during the big day. All of our guests had an awesome time and the ballroom was absolutely fantastic! A beautiful place that transports you back in time in a city I love. So happy with our choice.
