Elegant, sophisticated, well-managed venue

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a fantastic wedding at The Hotel at The University of Maryland. The planning process for my couple was a breeze thanks to manager Kelsey Lapore. She has tons of experience, is super friendly, professional and detail oriented. The Hotel is a sleek, modern and sophisticated place for a wedding. The luxurious getting ready suite had plenty of room for the large bridal party. The rooftop ballroom and outdoor terrace were just perfect for beautiful pictures. I can't wait to come back and photograph another wedding at this spectacular and well- managed venue!

A Wedding Affair to Remember!

When I think back to my sister’s wedding day a few months ago at the Hotel at the University of Maryland, the three Es immediately come to mind. EXCELLENT! EXCEPTIONAL! EXEMPLARY!

The venue was beautiful, but the event itself was beyond fabulous and exceeded my expectations in large part due to the dedication of senior catering sales manager Kelsey Lepore.

With just sixth months to plan and execute my sister’s dream wedding, the Hotel at UMD offered the ambience we wanted and literally checked all the boxes. The staff were simply first-class, from the caterer to the service staff to the front desk. Each guest was enveloped in an elegance that had them reminiscing with family and friends’ weeks after the wedding.

There are truly just not enough superlatives to describe the phenomenal experience we had at the Hotel at the University of Maryland but kudos to Kelsey for helping to make it a resounding success. If a detail mattered to me, it mattered to Kelsey and that was one of her genuine attributes that impressed me the most. She is awesome and one of the DMVs premier catering managers who is without question worth her weight in gold.

Thank you, Kelsey, for a Wedding Affair to Remember!
