Fairy Tale Wedding

My daughter married a USNA man the day after graduation. We live 800 miles away from Annapolis so needed a home base and since it was Commissioning Week most rental houses were booked. Historic Inns of Annapolis (HIA) was just PERFECT! Several family members booked rooms at the hotel also and it was WONDERFUL- the rooms were clean and comfy; the staff EXCELLENT especially Connor at the front desk. It is within walking distance to the USNA Chapel and in the heart of downtown Annapolis. While our ceremony was at the chapel, the reception was at HIA and it was PERFECT. Michelle is a dream to work with and would email me back within 30 seconds of me hitting send! She made sure not a single detail was overlooked. Day of everything was in place- Ms Cruz and her huge smile made sure everything was ready and in place and perfect- everything everything was just great. If you can get this venue, get it!! If you can stay here, do it! It was AMAZING. SUPER SUPER HAPPY

The Governor Calvert House provided my husband and I such a wonderful venue for our Aug 2016 USNA/GCH wedding. We planned from afar and Michelle Vellon was amazing ever step of the way. Venue space is elegant and perfect for a versatile space. The food was AMAZING, we received so many compliments and the service was exquisite. If you are looking for a elegant and unique venue in Annapolis check out Historic Inns and the Calvert House!

Highly recommend Gov Calvert Inn for an Annapolis wedding venue

What an amazing experience at the Gov Calvert Inn last weekend (June 8th)! It easily held 165 guests allowing an easy flow between the 3 areas (main dance room, dining room and patio). Everything was pitch perfect from the fantastic food to the professional staff. Every detail was handled with great care. I highly recommend it for your wedding or large party!

Historic Inns of Annapolis (Governor Calvert House) really knows how to put on a wedding!! Great history in the middle of Annapolis, right on State Circle! Texture, wood, great ballroom and dining room. And let's not forget the open air terrace that gives bridal clients great options for their cocktail hour. Excellent food and service await you at this historic property!

If you want an authentic place in Annapolis to get married this is it! I love photographing weddings with the photograph of the statehouse in the background! The parties are always great there! It is in downtown so your guests can have a unique experience and easily go out somewhere else for an after party!

I just love working here year after year. From a photography standpoint it is one of the most beautiful locations in Annapolis and Michelle is amazing.
