Incredible night at the BMA!

The BMA was the perfect venue for our wedding. We live in NYC but when we walked into the space at the BMA we knew it was the place to host our special night. Working with the BMA could not have been easier. From booking the venue, to meeting with Alicia for multiple visits, to coordinating with our vendors, it was an extremely professional process. We ended up choosing Zefferts and Gold from the BMA's recommended vendors list and were truly impressed by the level of coordination between the caterer and venue. On the night of the wedding, the BMA staff were extremely helpful. They assisted us with all our needs.

The space at the BMA is truly stunning. From the atrium space where we held our cocktail hour, to the main room where we had our dinner and reception. The venue is extremely good value due to its natural elegance. You really don't need many decorations or florals because the space is already so amazing. We heard from so many guests about how they couldn't remember attending a more fun wedding. A big part of this was the venue and the atmosphere it provided.

The BMA also makes for great photos and portraits. We took photos on the outside steps with our wedding parties and family. These turned out great. You also have the chance to take couple portraits in one of the galleries. We would not hesitate at all to recommend the BMA to other couples.

Utmost Professionalism, Flexibility, and Communication!!

The staff at the Baltimore Museum of Art are excellent. Alicia communicated with us and our vendors throughout the entire process. She made us feel so special and at ease. We had to make so many adjustments due to unexpected circumstances, me being 6 months pregnant, and my now husband having a severe cold on the day of our wedding. However, the BMA staff accommodated us and we were able to pull off a wedding that our families won’t stop raving about. The restrictions of having an event at the BMA are reasonable, such as vendors needing to be insured, choosing from a list of caterers, and only accessing specific galleries. This was not a problem at all and worth every penny.

Stunning Venue


Choosing the Baltimore Museum of Art as our wedding venue was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout the planning process. From the moment we first toured the space, we knew it would offer the perfect balance of elegance, history, and modern artistry — and it exceeded every expectation.

The architecture and galleries provided a stunning backdrop from start to finish. Our guests were genuinely in awe of the setting, and many commented that it was one of the most unique and visually beautiful weddings they had ever attended. The Fox Court, with its soaring ceilings and marble columns, created a breathtaking atmosphere for dinner and dancing.

The BMA staff was consistently professional, organized, and attentive. Every detail — from logistics to timing to guest flow — was handled smoothly, allowing us to be fully present on our wedding day. We never once felt rushed or overwhelmed, and we always felt supported by a team that clearly knew how to execute events at the highest level.

Beyond its beauty, the BMA gave our day a sense of meaning and artistry that felt deeply personal. The venue didn’t just host our wedding, it elevated it.

We could not recommend the Baltimore Museum of Art more highly to any couple looking for a wedding space that is not only visually extraordinary, but expertly managed, inspiring, and unforgettable.

Exceeded all expectations!

We got married at the BMA on July 26, 2025. Leading up to our wedding, Alicia was communicative, flexible, and incredibly helpful. On the day of, everything was perfect and truly exceeded all of our expectations. It was a hot day, but everyone at the BMA helped ensure wedding party and family were able to keep cool while we were taking pictures. The venue itself was so beautiful (both in person and in photos) and our guests had such a great time. We booked an extra hour so we could dance until midnight and were so glad we did. If we were to do it all again, we wouldn't change a single thing and that's a great feeling :) The BMA is such an incredible place and we are so grateful that we had the opportunity to celebrate there in a truly unique and unforgettable way.

Beautiful Wedding Venue

We had an amazing experience using the BMA for our wedding! We had our ceremony on the outside lawn and the reception was indoors. The grounds for the outdoor ceremony were well maintained and inside was very pristine and beautiful. All of our guests loved the elegance of the venue. The staff were also exceptional. Alicia was super helpful for the entire year leading up to our wedding, answering any questions we had in a timely manner and helping us by recommending vendors and suggestions for executing our vision. The staff that worked our reception was also amazing and helpful too. It was truly a night to remember and everything exceeded our expectations with how smooth everything was executed. I would recommend anyone looking to get married in Baltimore to have their wedding at the BMA for a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

So many compliments on my wedding day

I got married on 12.7.24 and received so many compliments on my wedding day.

Alicia was such a pleasure to work with, and the space was so beautiful. I rented out Fox Court and Antioch Court for both ceremony and reception and they flipped the place so smoothly. Their list of caterers to choose from are great as well, and they provide so many budget-friendly options depending on your financial flexibility.

Even with a winter/nighttime wedding, the spot was gorgeous and everything I envisioned, and I am so glad that me and my husband were able to take pictures in the Jacob's Gallery (main gallery room, included with the price of the space!).

I'm sure the pictures are going to come out beautifully. And also, safe to say that many guests are now excited to come back and actually take a look around the museum.

One of the Most Magical Places to Get Married in Baltimore City

Alicia and the entire staff at the BMA gave us a magical venue for our wedding. She and her team were amazing through the entire process. She was also great when we had to move our wedding to a different date, and was super responsive with communication.

Don't be intimidated by what may seem to be a lot of restrictions by this venue. It was one of the most accommodating venues we found in the city. (Remember, it's an art museum, so there's certain precautions they have to take to preserve and protect what's inside and out of the museum!)

Alicia didn't hesitate to allow our two dogs to be a part of our ceremony on the West Lawn, and was also quick to allow them inside (if we had to for inclement weather... fortunately, we didn't need to).

Every one of our guests raved about how much they enjoyed the venue and their time at our wedding at the BMA.

The most stunning wedding, with the perfect team? Say less.

When we first walked into the BMA after touring a few other venues, we fell in love. The beauty of Fox Court + Antioch can't be beat. Not an event designer? Who cares? The BMA needs no help, she shines all on her own.

In addition to a stunning venue, Alicia is a master event planner walking you through every detail and makng sure things are perfect. She knows all the best vendors and has worked countless weddings. This is event plannign you can trust and you feel that she really enjoys it as well!

The night of - the BMA staff is there for you as well full of joy and fun while being so professional every step of the way.

If you are put off by the potential rules of having an event in a space with priceless art, don't be - the team here and the vendors take care of all the details for you. You won't even notice.

This was such an amazing choice and it will wow you and your guests the whole evening. Do it

Stunning Venue/Great Experience!

Our wedding at BMA absolutely stunning! It perfectly aligned with my vision for the wedding aesthetic, and I couldn’t be happier with our decision. Every area of the venue was equally beautiful, and I know our pictures will turn out fantastic.

Overall, it is truly a beautiful venue, and I’m very pleased with my experience!
