About

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.

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.

    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.

    Excellent venue

    We are so happy we decided on 1840s Plaza for our wedding venue. It’s such a unique space and we got so many compliments. Even in late March before the courtyards were in full bloom they were a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Stasia, Kori, and Demi were all great contacts and super responsive throughout the planning process and on the day. We loved having the Carrollton Inn right next door for the family to stay in and for a beautiful and spacious getting ready room in the Carroll Suite.

    Amazing Wedding Weekend

    Wow what a great facility, staff, and wedding on June 4th! When we checked in to the Carrollton Inn on June 2 Devin greeted us, checked us in and even assisted us with all the items we brought with us for the wedding. And prior to our arrival Stasia was on top of all our reservations and quickly made changes we had and was so easy to work with which we greatly appreciated. The rooms were all ready for us as we arrived and they were all lovely. Sadly I don’t have all the names of the Staff but there was not one person we came in contact with who wasn’t friendly and hospitable to us and all our guests.

    The coffee service and breakfast were set and ready to go each day and we especially enjoyed the Buffet breakfasts. Of course the cookies in the evening were such a great way to top off the night. What’s not to love about a soft chocolate chip cookie? 😊

    On the big day, the weather was great with a slight breeze in the courtyard, but such a lovely setting. It was all on time, the DJ handled the music without a glitch, and the set up was perfect. Then we moved to the next courtyard for the cocktail hour with delicious appetizers, friendly staff, and continued great weather.

    Then without hesitation the staff so seamlessly moved us all from the courtyard to the 4th floor ballroom for a wonderful dinner, festivities, and dancing.

    I realize this is their job but they do their job very well and in many cases above and beyond. We would all highly recommend having a wedding or event at the 1840’s Plaza as they won’t disappoint.

    I also know our Wedding Planner, Maya Mahoney from Honey & Lavender, helped with vendor selections but worked so well with Stasia at 1840’s Plaza using many of the vendors they frequently use.

    It was our daughter’s big day and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Thank you to all who made it so very successful! 😊
