The staff at Best Western was absolutely fantastic . The cost was great & so was the food. It's Baltimore's best kept secret . Kim & Hin, Banquet Managers were very accommodating. They assisted me throughout all of the planning. The menu selection was diverse and the dishes were amazing. My guest are still talking about the food two weeks after the wedding.

We had both our ceremony and reception at Guilford Hall in May 2025. It was perhaps the best wedding-related decision we made and we are so glad we did! The staff are so kind, accommodating and responsive. Even the head chef and the bartenders made special accommodations to our very particular menu and drink selections. The attention to detail and incorporation of our every preference cannot be understated. The Events Coordination team went above and beyond to make our vision a reality. The biergarten was perfect for our ceremony (although if you are having more than 110 guests, it might be a tight squeeze). The Cigar Room makes for a *stunning* photo backdrop and the patio was perfect for a fun, laid back cocktail hour where our guests could mingle around, sit at picnic tables and take pictures. There are so many great spots for photos we didn't need to import a cheesy photo wall or selfie station. But the real highlight is the reception in the Crown Hall. It was the perfect size for our party. We had a DJ, but if you want to bring a band into that room, you should consider having fewer than 10-12 tables otherwise there just simply isn’t room. The food and beverage selection for the dinner was top-notch, and if they don’t have something you want, they will order it. My husband wanted a very curated bourbon selection, and they managed to get every bottle he wanted (for an additional price). Our only critique is that we noticed long lines for the bar during cocktail hour and reception. So if you have big drinkers in your crowd, ask for an additional bar set up somewhere to expedite beverage delivery. I also highly recommend paying extra for a lighting company to put fabric and lights up otherwise the main focal point wall is just a blank grey square. We went with 27 Studios – one of many preferred vendors of Guilford that gave us a discount because they do so much business at that venue. We also had our DJ set up pin lights around the room for additional ambiance once the sun set (also an added fee). If industrial chic is your vibe, then BOOK THIS VENUE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. It’s so customizable and you can go all out or keep it simple or anywhere in between. Either way, these people work hard to make sure you have the best day ever!!!

Choosing this venue was THE BEST decision I made during this entire wedding planning process (outside of choosing my wonderful husband, of course!). The venue was absolutely gorgeous, the food was phenomenal, and Ms. Cindy is an angel walking among us. The venue also hosted our rehearsal lunch and our wedding party is still raving about the food. They were so kind, thoughtful, and really flexible/accommodating. Most venues have a really long list of things you can't do - Cindy and the BES team were solely focused on making sure hubby and I had the best day. Seriously, if you're debating having your wedding here, just go ahead and do it.

Our wedding experience with the Kimpton Monaco Baltimore was incredible! We immediately fell in love with the gorgeous marble staircase, beautiful elevator bank, and all around elegant interior and design of the hotel. The hotel truly is stunning and makes for beautiful wedding photos. Even the ballrooms (ceremony room & reception room) are nicely decorated with fun wallpaper, light fixtures, etc. - definitely not your typical grey hotel conference room. We loved that the venue had so many great photo ops, so we didn't have to worry about what the weather would be like on our wedding day. We noticed that there hadn't been any wedding reviews on any sites for this venue since Randie (the previous coordinator) left, so we were a little nervous about that, but we're SO happy we moved forward anyway. I think they went through a little trial and error with coordinators, until earlier in 2024 when Michelle came on board. Michelle was an absolute DREAM to work with!!! She's responsible, thorough, detail-oriented, on top of things, organized, and was responsive to all of our (many) questions and requests. I'm a planner to the extreme (excel sheets, detailed timelines, etc.) and working with Michelle was beyond amazing. I trusted her wholeheartedly and am so incredibly thankful to have had her throughout the planning process. On the day of, she was equally wonderful and went above and beyond to help with things and ensure everything went smoothly. Our wedding day was literally perfect and exactly as we had planned, in large part thanks to her. The venue coordinator makes such a huge difference in the wedding planning experience, and Michelle is truly a gem. I also have to mention Jennifer, who helped us with everything room related, and Patrick from catering. Both of them were also amazing to work with and helped our day go perfectly. The hotel really has an all-star team with the 3 of them! Another thing that drew us in was how inclusive the hotel's wedding packages were. When I was researching venues, we really wanted an "all inclusive" type of package, and this was just that. Food, open bar, chairs, linens, a signature cocktail, and even our wedding cake with an outside award-winning bakery were included (plus more things I'm probably forgetting). The food was delicious and actually very generously portioned (especially compared to other weddings I've attended where you may leave a little hungry). We thought the pricing was very fair for everything that was included. It was also SO convenient to be able to get ready, have all of our wedding events, and then go to the room all in one location. We absolutely loved this venue and couldn't be happier that we chose to have our special day here!

From the early stages of planning, the staff at The Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel was very easy to work with. They were quick to respond to all of our inquiries, and were very helpful in guiding us through each step in the planning process.

We could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day than the one we had at The Belvedere. From start to finish, everything was truly exceptional. The ballrooms are absolutely stunning. They are grand, elegant, and full of historic charm that made our celebration feel so special. Our guests are still raving about how incredible the food was. Serving crab cakes in Baltimore is no small feat, and they absolutely nailed it! A huge thank you to Olivia, who made the entire planning process so much easier. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. And we can’t say enough good things about Harmony, our wedding day coordinator. She kept everything running smoothly and anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them. The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. One of the most thoughtful gestures was when someone discreetly ran across the street to pick up my husband’s exact drink of choice without us even asking. Just one of many examples of how attentive and caring the team was throughout the day. If you are looking for a venue with beautiful spaces, incredible food, and a truly dedicated staff, look no further than The Belvedere. They made our wedding unforgettable.

Lord Baltimore was exactly what I was looking for, a boutique hotel that was near attractions/things to do for my out of town guests. I worked with Cindy, the Director of Social Events. She was flexible and accommodating of my requests for ballroom setup, catering and of my rehearsal dinner. Working with her was stress free.

We worked with Robyn from Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor throughout the 14 months of planning of our wedding since initial contact with venue. Even with COVID-19 shutdown and restrictions she still made sure there was communication and execute the wedding day. She was always professional and listened to all our concerns. We felt like the Hyatt Regency staff worked effectively and safely. They put in all measures possible to still have a small wedding of 31 people. Guests made wonderful compliments about the staff from the doorman, check in staff, and staff involved in the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Robyn worked effectively with all our vendors and made accommodations as needed. We felt like Robyn and the rest of the Hyatt Regency staff truly made our wedding weekend special and run smoothly.

This is an unique venue with outstanding views of the city and of course the football field. I cannot say enough about the fantastic job the staff did for our wedding. Our coordinator, Sarah went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. She responded quickly to all our questions. The food was spectacular. Our guests are still commenting on the venue and the food.

My finance and I were about to call it quits on planning a wedding for 100 guests. After 8 visits to other venues that felt overpriced and too heavy of a planning haul, we scheduled a time to visit Gertrudes as a last ditch effort. We were instantly impressed with Emily, the venue coordinator. Throughout the whole process she answered questions promptly and directly. Gertrudes food and drink pricing was very competitive to other catering proposals I had received for other venues. The menu options were varied to meet many different preferences and dietary restrictions. Our wedding day came, and it was more magical than we could have imagined. We opted to have our wedding in the Lower Wurtzburger Sculpture Gardens for an extra fee, it was beautiful. Our guests were commenting on the fantastic level of service they received by the staff. The ceremony flowed into a lovely outdoor cocktail hour. I could not believe my eyes at the beauty of the dining room during dinner. The low twinkling lights, and intimate seating was beautiful and romantic. Finally, we closed out dancing in the tent and everyone had a blast. I was relieved that Gertrude's by default has a sort of "wedding layout or process", meaning there was a limited amount of decisions I had to make in the planning process. Gertrudes takes care of so many things. If I had a wedding again, there is NO QUESTION I would book at Gertrudes again. Photos by A&M Photography
