Our wedding experience with the Kimpton Monaco Baltimore was incredible! We immediately fell in love with the gorgeous marble staircase, beautiful elevator bank, and all around elegant interior and design of the hotel. The hotel truly is stunning and makes for beautiful wedding photos. Even the ballrooms (ceremony room & reception room) are nicely decorated with fun wallpaper, light fixtures, etc. - definitely not your typical grey hotel conference room. We loved that the venue had so many great photo ops, so we didn't have to worry about what the weather would be like on our wedding day. We noticed that there hadn't been any wedding reviews on any sites for this venue since Randie (the previous coordinator) left, so we were a little nervous about that, but we're SO happy we moved forward anyway. I think they went through a little trial and error with coordinators, until earlier in 2024 when Michelle came on board.

Michelle was an absolute DREAM to work with!!! She's responsible, thorough, detail-oriented, on top of things, organized, and was responsive to all of our (many) questions and requests. I'm a planner to the extreme (excel sheets, detailed timelines, etc.) and working with Michelle was beyond amazing. I trusted her wholeheartedly and am so incredibly thankful to have had her throughout the planning process. On the day of, she was equally wonderful and went above and beyond to help with things and ensure everything went smoothly. Our wedding day was literally perfect and exactly as we had planned, in large part thanks to her. The venue coordinator makes such a huge difference in the wedding planning experience, and Michelle is truly a gem. I also have to mention Jennifer, who helped us with everything room related, and Patrick from catering. Both of them were also amazing to work with and helped our day go perfectly. The hotel really has an all-star team with the 3 of them!

Another thing that drew us in was how inclusive the hotel's wedding packages were. When I was researching venues, we really wanted an "all inclusive" type of package, and this was just that. Food, open bar, chairs, linens, a signature cocktail, and even our wedding cake with an outside award-winning bakery were included (plus more things I'm probably forgetting). The food was delicious and actually very generously portioned (especially compared to other weddings I've attended where you may leave a little hungry). We thought the pricing was very fair for everything that was included. It was also SO convenient to be able to get ready, have all of our wedding events, and then go to the room all in one location.

We absolutely loved this venue and couldn't be happier that we chose to have our special day here!

We are so happy that we chose to celebrate our wedding at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco. While we were choosing between venues, Kimpton stood out from the start from their gorgeous staircase, unique and beautiful rooms, and RANDIE! We cannot rave enough about Randie. She was our greatest support system throughout the wedding planning. She was knowledgeable, responsive, supportive, and such an absolute rock star through everything. I always knew that Randie was going to respond quickly, and that truly made all the difference.
During the night of, the wait staff was so attentive and FUN - we had such a wonderful time celebrating with them and they were so accommodating. The food was absolutely amazing - it's probably the thing we've gotten the most compliments about. We had to push our wedding back a year due to COVID and Randie was so flexible with everything - she made it such a stress free process. Randie was also able to work with us to get a breakfast for our guests as a last minute request which we couldn't have been more grateful for (the breakfast was amazing btw). Everything was just so wonderful - from the front desk staff recognizing us after one greeting, everything being set up the way we imagined, and the bottle of champagne that was waiting for us in our room at the end of the night. We couldn't recommend Kimpton enough.

The B&O provided a marvelous buffet for our wedding at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Baltimore. We got to meet the chef, who is approachable, has a versatile style, and had plenty of ideas for how to make our vision come to life.
For our brunch wedding, we wanted comfort food that reflected our cultural backgrounds, so we asked for Chicken and Waffles, Beef Ragu, Shrimp and Grits, and Mediterranean displays that featured old favorites like Basbousa, foul, hummus, and more.
When we checked in with our guests, all of them said it was some of the best food they'd ever had, and were delighted to go back to try the other dishes. My new mother in law even asked the chef for his recipe!
