My now husband and I got married at the Grand Baltimore in July 2022 and we were incredibly impressed by the professionalism, responsiveness and overall experience at the Grand. We unfortunately had to find a new venue within 6 months of our wedding and the Grand invited us to visit with open arms and were incredibly easy to work with throughout the process. Nina was our point of contact and she was incredibly thoughtful and responsive to the many emails we sent to her with last minute questions. The Grand has a ton of different options for event space. We used the Edinburgh hall for our ceremony, the Corinthian room for our reception and the Roman Strata room for our cocktail hour. The cost of the venue is on par with costs of other venues in Baltimore City but we got 3 rooms for the price of what some venues charge for just one event space. Our caterers were familiar with working at the Grand and we had plenty of space for our 120 guests, dance floor, DJ , 2 bars, and 3 station style areas in the Corinthian room. Nina went above and beyond to make sure we were treated so well our entire night and even sent champagne to our hotel room for afterwards.

I just had my reception at The Grand Baltimore September 2023 and I cannot say enough good things. I will start with the venue coordinator, Nina, who was instrumental to the success of our day, and then move to the venue itself.

The Grand was just the second venue we toured and we signed shortly after, so we had been working with Nina about a year and a half from contract date to wedding date. From day one, she went above and beyond to be as welcoming, patient, flexible, and transparent as possible to make our experience a better one. She went far beyond the expectations of her position to ensure that we were getting everything we wanted and needed, from letting us get ready at the venue when we had no other space, to making an extra entree just for us to try when we misread the menu for the tasting. Over that year and a half of countless email back and forth, late-night texts, meeting my family during several visits, Nina became a friend who was such a big part of the day.

Now the venue itself can speak for itself just with pictures alone, but I will give a little extra. Like I said, we only toured two places before deciding on The Grand, but it's because there was no point seeing any more. After stepping foot into the building, we knew nothing else would compare. Built in the 1800s as the freemason's headquarters and boasting the most stunning stonework and architecture you'll see in the city, The Grand has not only the elegance I wanted, but the history and character of a building made to impress. It has multiple ballrooms, each with their own individual style to suit your event vibe. We were having a celestial wedding, so it was a no brainer to choose the Mirror Room for our reception, which had spectacular star-shaped light fixtures dotting a ceiling the color of the night sky. The adjacent room was used for our cocktail hour and looked like it came right out of a story book. People raved about the food and the day went off without a hitch.

It is expensive, but you get so much for the price: attendants, bridal suite, amazing hors d'oeuvres, open bar, all tables/linens/cutlery, three course dinner, cake and coffee service. So yeah, it was a lot of money but I loved it so much I actually cut my guest list down just to be able to afford it and don't tell the people who got cut, but it was totally worth it and I'd do it again haha The wedding pictures I got from this venue, the memories I got for this venue, the friendships I made from this venue are priceless and beyond compare. 10/10 would get remarried here hahaha

The Grand (specifically Nina and Bernard) made our wedding day the best day ever. From the very start, their team was professional and willing to have an open dialogue regarding what decisions could be made to make our wedding day both what we wanted *and* affordable. From there, Nina and Bernard made us feel like family from start to finish. From clear communication to practical recommendations when we needed a helping hand, they just *got* us and knew what we wanted. And the venue is simply STUNNING! You can tell it’s well cared for and that Nina and Bernard take great pride in the space. The food was out of this world, too! We cannot recommend The Grand enough!
