So elegant and fun!

All of my guest absolutely loved the asthetic of the hotel. Everyone there went out of their way to help us through the day and the night before. My husband and I were able to just enjoy our wedding and not have to worry about anything at all! It's such a gorgeous hotel!

Amazing historic venue with all the bells/whistles

I can't say enough great things about the Lord Baltimore and Cindy Baucom! From the initial meeting, Cindy was ready and willing to answer any and all questions. She was super responsive and willing to help connect me with other vendors and contacts within the hotel to ensure I had all my bases covered. Selecting the hotel was a no brainer. It has the historic vibe we wanted, while also being beautifully updated and accommodating for all our guests. The service and food was amazing. We even provided some feedback after our tasting regarding one of our dishes, and Cindy brought us back in for another personal tasting with the Chef. I never for one minute doubted that things would be perfect and go smoothly. All of our guests commented throughout the wedding on the look and feel of the hotel. We loved using all three of our spaces, and if the weather was a bit warmer you can even use the Skybar! It really is a perfect wedding venue and we are so happy we made this choice. If you're looking for somewhere in downtown Baltimore with an experienced and wonderful wedding planner than this is your place.

Everything went great. And I think this is all due to Cindy Baucom. She was amazing!!! She handled eeeeverything!! Even things not pertaining to her department. I mean, she always responded to my contacts, she always fixed any issues, gave all the appropriate answers quickly. And once she said something would be done, it would be done. My husband and I met in and are still in med school. So, prepping was obviously very difficult and it was such a great comfort knowing that I could trust Cindy and Lord Baltimore to do everything correctly, as discussed, and to fix any issues promptly. My wedding was quite memorable. Their cake vendor is also amazing. They do everything. I talked to him on the phone about a design, and then the next thing I know, I am hearing from all the guests how great the cake was ... unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy it lol...

David Atkinson and Larry Frank from Classic Catering turned our daughter's wedding into a special event at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. From the first time we met, they assured us that they would create a unique experience. We met the chefs at the food tasting. They took an active interest in what we liked. They accommodated our wish to increase the number of appetizers and to customize the bar selection. The day of the wedding was going to be colder than anticipated. David offered to find the bride a pashmina to cover her shoulders. He went to two shops, and brought back a selection of three so she could have a choice, putting the charges on his personal credit card. In addition, he traveled to Fredericksburg, VA to purchase a gift for the happy couple because they met there. Lastly, Classic Catering arranged for a continental breakfast for the bridesmaids on the morning of the wedding.
The hotel was also very accommodating. They bent over backwards to provide early check in for every one of our guests who needed it, one on Friday at 8am. They provided the penthouse suite for us on Friday and Saturday, giving the bridal party a spacious area to prepare.
The wedding reception, itself, was spectacular. The room was beautiful. The acoustics were very good so the DJ could play at a good volume, but the crowning touch touch was the service. We received a surprising number of unsolicited compliments regarding service levels throughout the night. One table insisted that we mention Pat. Her level of attentiveness went above and beyond.
The only snafu was breakfast on Sunday morning. Between the time we signed the contract and the event itself, the end time for breakfast changed from 11:30 to 10:30 so some guests missed out. They quickly responded with apologies and a remedy. Compared to the rest of the experience, this was a non-issue.
We would highly recommend Classic Catering and the Lord Baltimore Hotel as a wedding venue.

Our Wedding ceremony and reception were both at the Lord Baltimore in the ballroom. We booked with the Lord Baltimore prior to the renovations starting, so we worked with many different people through the year until our Wedding. The best change that took place was Classic Catering taking over the reception portion. We worked with Larry and Terri and both were very understanding and addressed any concerns we had. We had specific requests for the catering and the room during the Wedding and they did all of them. Any time we had a question we could either text or email them and would receive a response. They were amazing and happy they could be there to celebrate the night with us!

The staff at the Lord Baltimore were extremely accommodating to us and our guests. Lee who is the Director of Group Sales was incredible and made sure we were happy. The staff at the front desk were very nice to us and our guests and accommodated everything they asked for. The rooms look amazing after the renovation and I did not hear one complaint from the 40 guests that booked a room the night of the Wedding. The valet staff were also extremely happy and easy to work with as well. Everyone we worked with at the hotel was great!

Highly recommend staying at the Lord Baltimore or booking a Wedding/event in the ballroom with Classic Catering!

Cate at the Lord Baltimore is a freaking life send. When I first booked with the Lord Baltimore is was when they were being bought by a private company and was no longer a Radisson hotel. Cate took over about six months before my wedding and THANK GOD she did! She did everything in her power to help us out and to make sure things were the way we wanted. The Staff at the hotel were all phenomenal and I cannot say enough good things about them.

The food was TO DIE FOR. Everybody practically licked their plates clean. The Chef is an awesome guy and easy to talk to, and the changes we wanted from our tasting were done and all was fantastic.

There were some concerns due to the renovations going on, but in the end everybody had a new room, the ballroom was gorgeous, and we had the best time of our lives!

Just recently had my wedding at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. One thing that made this practically a flawless wedding was Classic Catering. Most of my contact was with David Atkinson from Classic and he was amazing. He was so friendly, professional, and always available when needed. He answered our questions, provided the tour, and really gave us a reasonable deal on the cost of the venue and food. We received so many compliments on the food!! The ball room where the wedding was held was absolutely beautiful. It made it easy to decorate since not much was needed except for the flower arrangements. We paid for the nicer chairs and also used our own vendor for table cloths, otherwise everything was already there! David created a great outline of the room, including where the stage would be, tables, bar service, etc. The Lord Baltimore has beautiful hotel rooms, which was great for the bridal and groom party to get ready in as well as out of town guests to stay. We paid extra for the pent house which was sweet! It had some natural lighting for pictures and plenty of space for my bridesmaids to get ready. My husband and his groomsmen could then get ready in the suite which came with the costs. The day of the wedding went so smoothly and all the staff were super friendly and accommodating. I am very happy with our choice to use the Lord Baltimore. I hear that they may no longer be using Classic for catering, so it will be sad to see them go.

Very accommodating

Lord Baltimore was exactly what I was looking for, a boutique hotel that was near attractions/things to do for my out of town guests. I worked with Cindy, the Director of Social Events. She was flexible and accommodating of my requests for ballroom setup, catering and of my rehearsal dinner. Working with her was stress free.

Great venue, great service!

Our wedding at Lord Baltimore was truly memorable! Lord Baltimore is a beautiful venue for all aspects of a wedding experience. Colorful and beautiful Versailles Room provides an elegant and picturesque setting for a wedding vow ceremony. The balcony is an enclosed, open wrap around space for cocktail hour. The ballroom is majestic with high ceilings, chandeliers and historical architectural design that requires very little additional decoration to transform the place for a wedding. Our food was delicious, the staff was attentive and Cindy, the events manager, was always calm, assuring, highly experienced, detail oriented and totally awesome. Our only wish was a finer sleeping accommodation for the wedding party--our room ("suite") was nothing more that a very plain room. Thank you so much, Lord Baltimore. Rebkha & David

Very pleasant experience!

The venue is beautiful! If you want a royal theme this is the place. The wedding coordinator is very easy to work with and to schedule appointments with. She explains every detail of how the day will go while walking you through every space that you will use so that you can envision it. Very reasonable and accommodating.
