Megan & the Graduate crew made our dream become a reality. The venue itself is a stand out and we were grateful to have the awesome indoor spaces on a muggy and rainy Saturday in late June! Megan worked through every detail with my planner and I and confirmed every detail ahead of the big day. She was incredibly flexible with us and some very late cancellations - over the top flexible. On top of all of this, after a booking error on my end, she was able to find a way to accommodate us in the bridal suite for getting ready the day of the wedding with all of my girls. I'm not so sure other venues would have been so accommodating. The food - I mean, my gosh, the FOOD! Our guests were all raving about their meals - every steak cooked just right - and the crab cakes were on point. If there were any hiccups (other than ones I created myself, ha) on the day of, I had no idea as the staff @ the Graduate kept everything moving along smoothly. I really can't say enough great things about this venue. It's such a special place, especially now. :)

Megan was amazing to work with!
She answered so many questions for us. And revised our final set up so many times until we were happy.

All the staff was amazing actually. The chef even learned how to make a custom dessert for us.

Our guests loved the beautiful Atrium and we loved the cozy ballroom.

The bridal suite was beautiful with its own patio with lounge chairs and a four person table. Our room came with champagne, bottled AND canned water, chocolate covered strawberries and other gifts.

Many people commented that they loved the Bistro Steak dinner option!

I cannot express enough how happy my family and I were with the job the Graduate did for our wedding. First off, Shannon was amazing to work with. She was always there to answer my questions and made everything so easy to understand and arrange. Not only that, but she was always on point with breakdowns of costs, timelines, and anything else I needed. Second, there was nothing Shannon couldn't help us arrange. Rehearsal dinner? Done. After-party? Done. Post-wedding brunch? Done. She helped us create a spectacular weekend for our guests that went well beyond what I expected we could arrange. Third, the food at the Graduate is phenomenal. Every meal and drink we had was amazing, and well worth what we spent. Fourth, the staff at the Graduate is incredible. Patrick and Al in the Trophy Room kept our rehearsal dinner guests topped off on drinks and were so kind and attentive. And fifth and finally, you cannot beat the look and location of the Graduate. My bridal suite had the most incredible view of downtown and just affirmed to me why we chose the Graduate for our wedding. It's not your standard run-of-the-mill hotel, and really incorporates the culture and feel of Annapolis into its theming. My husband and I loved that we could deliver a true 'Annapolis' style wedding to our guests, and help all of them discover how unique and special Annapolis, Maryland is.
