Perfect times 2.

The Annapolis Waterfront Hotel and Atlas Restaurant Group were perfect. Planning the wedding for my only daughter was something we wanted to get right in order to provide "the wedding of my dreams" for my daughter. The best decision we made was to choose the AWH and The Atlas Team of Alexa, Caroline and Hayley. They are VERY experienced in all things wedding and hospitality. Everything exceeded our expectations.
A contract isn't worth the paper it is written on unless the people behind it are top notch. We experienced a change in our plans do to a construction issue. Before we even knew about it, Atlas had two more than satisfactory options to keep moving forward. The point Atlas stood behind their commitment to us and delivered a perfect wedding experience.
Annapolis is a GREAT town to host a wedding and The Annapolis Waterfront Hotel is the Best Choice for the venue.

Incredible team and beautiful venue!

We have nothing but good to say about this venue and the team that helped us prepare for and execute our special day! Sarah was our wedding coordinator -- working with her prior to and on the wedding day made the wedding planning process so much easier! She was extremely communicative, kind, and helped our vision for the day come to life.

We had nothing but wonderful compliments from our guests about the venue itself, food, and staff. We chose their Elite package which gave us everything we wanted and so many options! Looking back at photos and video of our day, everything looked so elegant and classy. We can't recommend the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel enough!!

Sarah L is the BEST! Amazing Venue and Team!

Sarah Lubawski and the entire AWH team were amazing to work with. When I researched vendors, she was the first one to return my message here on Wedding Wire. Planning my wedding out of state, I needed a responsive team, and Sarah L from the hotel was amazing. She answered all my emails promptly, always sent updated invoices and event orders, adjusted day of timelines based on my suggestions, and happily worked with all my vendors day of my wedding seamlessly. The day of my wedding she was like a ghost behind the scenes making everything run perfectly and would check on me throughout to ask if I needed anything. The food ended up being perfect and they accommodated dietary restrictions well for my bridal party getting ready in the morning and cocktail hour / reception. For being directly on the water, their pricing was comparable and even a bit better than other hotels for large parties in downtown Annapolis. 100% recommend. The day was perfect!!

Outstanding attention to detail

Sarah did an INCREDIBLE job putting together our dream wedding. We made a last minute switch from a different venue and Sarah blew it out of the water on a short timeline. It was an stress-free event from start to finish. During planning she helped me find the perfect vendors, gave suggestions that maximized our budget and we truly enjoyed the planning experience.
One very important piece was that I have a family member with celiac who can not have any cross contamination with gluten. Sarah made note of this before the event, checked in about it and another unidentified allergy during the event- and this was the first time in years my aunt has been able to eat a meal out in public without getting sick.
The entire experience was flawless.

Best day ever!!!

Annapolis Waterfront Hotel was truly the perfect wedding venue. It’s indoor-outdoor set up, spacious second-floor ballroom and patio overlooking Ego Alley was perfect to give our guests a fun, Maryland experience. Sarah and the team made sure the day went without a hitch, they worked with out vendors the morning of to make sure everything was set perfectly. Leading up to the day, Sarah was very responsive and willing to answer any questions. They also had a recommended vendor list, which made finding our vendors very easy.

The Annapolis Waterfront Hotel is one of the chicest venues for which we have done event flowers. ...And let's talk about that fabulous harbor and bay view from the gorgeous deck! Sara, the event coordinator was so responsive and easy to work with, I was so impressed. It was a joy to create floral arrangements to coordinate with such a tastefully designed event space. It made my job easy. Very impressive, Annapolis Waterfront!
