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...
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
