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.

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!

My wife and I researched and visited about 6 or 7 different venues in Baltimore City and ultimately chose the Grand, where we recently had our wedding reception in October of 2019. Overall, the experience was quite positive and we are very happy with the service and accommodations offered from beginning to end. First, the Grand was a convenient option, due to its affiliation with the Embassy Suites Hotel by Hilton. The Grand is connected on the 5th floor to the Embassy Suites Hotel. Guests staying at the hotel do not have to exit the hotel to access the Grand’s reception areas. The Grand reserved a discounted room block for our guests and were willing to adjust the size of our room block based on our number of guests. We were also given a two-night complimentary stay at the Hotel. Additionally, we were given Hilton Honors points for choosing this venue (which will later pay for half of our honeymoon).
As for the wedding itself, the staff was extremely accommodating to our needs. Many of our guests were impressed by the Beef short rib entrée and the custom wedding cake was fantastic. There were several options to choose from for our cocktail hour and reception; and we ended up choosing The Marble Room and The Corinthian. My groomsmen and I got ready in a historic conference room, that also happened to be a significant scene in the Netflix series “House of Cards”. The Grand has a very regal atmosphere that’s rich with history and looks classy throughout the entirety of the building, making for excellent photographs; just make sure to let your photographer know that the interior is a bit dark, so additional lighting may be necessary.
Overall, we were treated with the utmost professionalism. Any issues that arose were handled promptly by the staff. We highly recommend working with Jacqueline Hannah as she gave us the white glove treatment. Thank you for helping host one of the best nights of our lives!
