The Hotel at The University of Maryland

The venue is great, food was delicious, and the event coordinator Kelsey is the best part! Everything was beautifully put together and really exceeded our expectations. Kelsey was attentive and so helpful with providing details we didn’t even think of. Kelsey is truly a planner and has the heart for what she does!

We had our wedding reception in January 2023 in The Hotel's penthouse suite. From the beginning, The Hotel at UMD was amazing! They were flexible with my crazy work schedule when it came to scheduling tours or tastings. Every detail that I imagined was brought to life. We worked very closely with Kelsey Lepore who was incredible! She is extremely organized, professional, and took time to make sure that our day was more then perfect- I could go on and on about how wonderful she is! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone. Our wedding couldn't have been as perfect as it was with out them!

Booking The Hotel at the University of Maryland for our wedding was one of the best decisions we could have ever made. We were truly impressed by the beautiful hotel lobby, well-appointed lobby bar, and luxury hotel accommodations. Our wedding was held on November 11, 2022. We hosted our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception at the Hotel. The Hotel is beautiful. However, it was the warm and friendly greeting we received during our initial site tour from Kelsey Lepore, the catering sales manager that sealed the deal for us. At the end of our tour, she even presented us with a handwritten personalized thank you card. Every time we spoke or met in person, she was so attentive to all of our needs and made our wedding planning process so smooth. Kelsey made us feel like family, always responded to our emails/calls within a timely manner, and made sure our wedding day went off without a hitch. Initially, we wanted to have our wedding on the penthouse level terrace. However, there was an 80% chance of rain for our big day. As predicted, it rained all day on the day of our wedding. Kelsey had a rain plan in place and helped us envision a beautiful wedding ceremony indoors and gorgeous reception on the Penthouse level. Kelsey's attention to detail is unmatched. She made sure everything was perfect for our reception even down to the table linen. Kelsey also assisted us with booking the presidential suite for my husband and I. Which has outstanding views of the University of MD campus. It was a great suite to get ready in with my bridesmaids, entertain guests, and end our night as newlyweds. At the end of the night, we came back to the presidential suite where Kelsey left us a bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and handwritten card with well wishes. She is truly an asset to the Hotel at the University of Maryland. If you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue with delicious food, outstanding staff and an amazing catering manager look no further. Our guests could not stop talking about our wedding. They said that it was one of the best weddings they had attended in a long time and that the food, signature cocktails and service at the reception were amazing. Special thanks out to Marcus, Ezi and Micheal at the front desk. They were so friendly, very helpful and made sure all of our guests received the welcome bags we created. Thank you Kelsey and The Hotel at the University of Maryland for the wedding of our dreams! My husband and I look forward to visiting again in the year to come, especially to enjoy the amazing spa.
