We had a perfect ceremony at Old Otterbein - it is a beautiful church and the organ really made it extra special. We had our reception at the Hyatt at the Inner Harbor, and it was very walkable for our guests to get there after the ceremony. The church has parking for about 40 cars. The folks at the church were so nice and helpful during the planning and also during the rehearsal and ceremony. I highly recommend this church for your ceremony, even if you're not a member, it is a wonderful historic building and they welcome visitors.

What a beautiful historic church! It was a perfect location as guests were staying at a hotel in the inner harbor and could walk to the church since the sun was shining. The old glass windows and simple decor of the church were exactly what we wanted - classic and elegant and not overdone. The fees added up to more than we had hoped to pay as we had a visiting pastor conduct the ceremony, but the church was to perfect to pass up.
