Guilford Hall: Where Dreams Take Flight & Every Detail Matters
Facilities and Capacity
Historic European tradition and modern Baltimore charm are the cornerstones of Guilford Hall. In 1898, the building was once home to the city's Crown Cork & Seal Factory. Today, the brewery features quaint, original details, resulting in a warm ambience where wedding-related celebrations can take place. The Crown Room is the venue's open-concept event space that blends authentic elements with contemporary design.
Here, newlyweds and their guests can dine and dance under European-inspired light fixtures and exposed ceiling beams. The spacious interior's brick walls and hardwood floors add to its cozy charm. When hosting here, couples can share their special day with up to 200 guests.

"We loved having our wedding at Guilford Hall. We were going for a classy but casual vibe and they absolutely nailed it. Everyone here, especially Nicole, was super helpful every step of the way. We highly recommend them for your wedding."
- Sean J
"I had my wedding here this past weekend and it was more than we could have ever imagined. Nicole, the events coordinator, was absolutely perfect and great to work with. We never had a stress at all throughout our whole planning process. I am so beyond grateful for her. When the day came not only was Nicole great but the entire staff was amazing. They interacted with all the guests and made the whole night run smoothly. At one point we even had some of them on the dance floor with us. I would highly recommend here for any event or even just a night out. The food is delicious and the beer is great! Thank you for everything!"

- Alexandra
"We had the most perfect wedding reception at Guilford. Everything went so smoothly and even if it didn't, we didn't notice and neither did our guests. We've heard so many wonderful things from friends and family about Nicole-Guilford's amazing event coordinator, Bill - and the rest of our bartenders, the food, and the space in general. The staff was so friendly, helpful, and attentive and there was barely a moment where we weren't being taken care of."

We are so happy we booked Guilford Hall!!!!
The biergarten was perfect for our ceremony (although if you are having more than 110 guests, it might be a tight squeeze). The Cigar Room makes for a *stunning* photo backdrop and the patio was perfect for a fun, laid back cocktail hour where our guests could mingle around, sit at picnic tables and take pictures. There are so many great spots for photos we didn't need to import a cheesy photo wall or selfie station.
But the real highlight is the reception in the Crown Hall. It was the perfect size for our party. We had a DJ, but if you want to bring a band into that room, you should consider having fewer than 10-12 tables otherwise there just simply isn’t room. The food and beverage selection for the dinner was top-notch, and if they don’t have something you want, they will order it. My husband wanted a very curated bourbon selection, and they managed to get every bottle he wanted (for an additional price).
Our only critique is that we noticed long lines for the bar during cocktail hour and reception. So if you have big drinkers in your crowd, ask for an additional bar set up somewhere to expedite beverage delivery.
I also highly recommend paying extra for a lighting company to put fabric and lights up otherwise the main focal point wall is just a blank grey square. We went with 27 Studios – one of many preferred vendors of Guilford that gave us a discount because they do so much business at that venue. We also had our DJ set up pin lights around the room for additional ambiance once the sun set (also an added fee).
If industrial chic is your vibe, then BOOK THIS VENUE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. It’s so customizable and you can go all out or keep it simple or anywhere in between. Either way, these people work hard to make sure you have the best day ever!!!
The Perfect Venue for Our Wedding
We held our ceremony in the Beer Garden, hosted cocktail hour in the Beer Garden using the Cocktail Room and Cigar Lounge, and had our reception upstairs in the Crown Room. The flow of the event worked perfectly, and the pictures we captured in those spaces are absolutely incredible. The venue fit our style in every way.
We chose a buffet for dinner, and it was amazing. Our guests are still talking about how much they loved the food! Especially the crab cakes. Our signature drinks were made just how we wanted them, and the bar service was top-notch. A huge shoutout to Chef Mauricio and the entire kitchen staff for going above and beyond to help us curate the perfect menu and flawlessly serving 115 guests. The food was incredible and never stopped coming out, our guests couldn’t stop raving.
We also want to give special recognition to Dani, the Events Planner at Guilford Hall. Dani made us feel incredibly comfortable from start to finish. She went out of her way multiple times to make sure everything went smoothly and that we felt at ease throughout the process. Her attention to detail was unmatched, and without her, we would have been all over the place. She is absolutely incredible, if you have the chance to work with her, take it. She went above and beyond every step of the way to make our day perfect.
Working with the entire Guilford Hall team was an absolute breeze. Every staff member was professional, accommodating, and dedicated to making our vision come to life. We couldn’t be more grateful for everything they did to help us host the wedding and reception of our dreams.
If you’re looking for a venue that delivers unforgettable memories, exceptional service, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, look no further than Guilford Hall.

Amazing Wedding Reception at Guilford Hall
Our perfect day
Absolutely amazing!!
Perfect Venue!
From a planning perspective, the event team (lead by Nicole) is incredible! They lay out the various options and packages to best fit your wedding vision. They are super flexible with the spaces you want to use, number of guests, food/apps options, etc. They reach out on tastings, floor plans, scheduling walk throughs, and help build a timeline. You truly do not need a wedding planner - the guilford team is all over the planning and execution of the event.
The food!!! Chef Ryan and the entire team went above and beyond. He attended our tasting, got our feedback, made tweaks, etc. Though there are standard packages, the team made several adjustments to fit our taste. Every guest we talked to complimented the food.
Lastly the space itself is so gorgeous. There are so many different spots to use. We had our ceremony in the courtyard, cocktail hour in the whisky room, reception in the event space upstairs, and after party back in the whisky room. Highly recommend extending your event with an after party at Guilford - your guests stick around. The bartenders also brought great energy!
It may seem like a “hidden gem” now, but it won’t be for long. Book it while there is availability!
Thanks again to the Guilford team if you’re reading this!
