The UNIQUE location and exceptional experience

When it comes to corporate galas or weddings, the BMI is a best-kept secret in Baltimore! It is by far the most UNIQUE location for medium and large events. We recently held our corporate gala at the BMI on 12/9/23, and with the theme of 1920's, the museum's exhibits added to the excitement.

Our guests enjoyed the party space inside the museum and we also rented the exterior space, which overlooks the harbor. Located directly across from the iconic Domino Sugar sign, our guest clamored for photos with the sign in the background.

The museum staff were very attentive to our guests' needs and they worked hand-in-hand with our caterer, Zeffert and Gold, to ensure the gala was a success. The event space is very reasonably priced and ALL of you rental fee goes to the non-profit, how cool is that! This is our second time using the museum for important corporate events and they have delivered both times!

BMI Perfect Wedding Venue

Our day at the BMI was everything I dreamed of and it was truly the most beautiful and unique venue I could have imagined. Everyone commented on what a cool space it was and guests loved looking through the museum exhibits during cocktail hour. The team at BMI was also very professional, responsive, and kind and truly helped to make our day magical. Would absolutely reccomend!

Baltimore Museum of Industry

Kelly Edelman and the people at the BMI were terrific. They were professional and easy to work with. We were married Aug 26 2023 . It was the perfect venue. We were married on the point. Cocktail reception was on the patio and sit down dinner reception was inside for 185 people. The candle centerpieces looked beautiful. I recommend them for your wedding

Everyone loved our wedding at the BMI!

From the very first email with Kelley, we had a good feeling about the BMI--she was quick to respond and answered all of our questions right at the start. We had seen lots of photos online, but after our tour, we knew this was the place!

Working with the team was seamless, and as the bride, I felt decidedly less stressed knowing we were in their capable hands. The BMI team worked well with our caterer (Zeffert & Gold), and they were cool with the fact that we were DIYing elements of our wedding. We dropped several items off the day before, and they were set up perfectly when we arrived. They also let us use their sound system and wireless mic--we plugged a phone and hit play on different playlists throughout the night.

All of our guests loved the venue! We did pay extra to have the cannery gallery open, and several people raved about the tours they received during cocktail hour. The main gallery had ample space for all of our tables, food, dance floor--this place has it all! We could not have been more thrilled with our wedding at the BMI! Go visit and book it!!

We love BMI!

We had an amazing wedding at BMI! Kelley was so helpful throughout the process, from suggesting incredible wedding vendors to making sure that everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding itself. When a cookie delivery went a little awry on our wedding day (no fault of BMI's!), Kelley went above and beyond to handle it such that we didn't even know it happened until the problem had already been solved. Kelley is amazing and I would highly recommend BMI to absolutely anyone looking for a fun and non-stuffy venue for their wedding!

Beautiful, unique venue with great service!

I am so happy we chose the BMI for our wedding! It is a great combination of a unique, interesting space with beautiful views and surrounding scenery. We had everything indoors (including ceremony) and thought it looked really nice. The staff is very responsive and easy to work with. Kelley, the Events and Operations Manager, is very quick with email and answered any questions we had. Angie was our point person from the BMI on the day of and she was extremely helpful - she even coordinated the ceremony as we did not hire a day of coordinator. James and other BMI staff were great as well. Highly recommend!! Several guests commented on how much they loved the space too.

BMI is the perfect Baltimore Wedding Venue

We absolutely LOVED having BMI as venue for our wedding. You can not beat having the Baltimore harbor as the backdrop for your ceremony. The museum is a great conversation starter for people during cocktail hour - you can even put your own slideshow or movie together in the movie theater exhibit! The great room where the dinner was held is the perfect mix of historical artifacts and elegance. The staff was incredible to work with - Kelley and Angie were great and flexible. Kelley literally bent over backwards to make not only planning as easy as possible but also our actual wedding day the perfect day! She lit up the crane in rainbow for us as a surprise, and continued to make sure our glasses were full. Everything Kelley did was above and beyond the call of duty, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We really felt like we had a great friend looking out for us all night, not just a wedding vendor. We cannot recommend BMI enough!

Perfect Venue for Baltimore Wedding

It was really important to us that we get married in Baltimore, so the Baltimore Museum of Industry was literally the perfect spot for us. From the beautiful harbor views during the ceremony, to the fun and unique cocktail hour experience, and ending with the ideal sized dance floor- everything was excellent.

We also want to thank Kelly and Angie for all their help during the planning process and day of. Early on, Kelly said we did not need a day of coordinator and she was right. We did not have one and did not need one; Angie made sure the day flowed beautifully and that the space was decorated to our wishes.

Our guests had so much fun! We got a lot of compliments on how fun the space was.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
