Meredith W. Sent on 07/16/2023Sarah L is the BEST! Amazing Venue and Team!
Sarah Lubawski and the entire AWH team were amazing to work with. When I researched vendors, she was the first one to return my message here on Wedding Wire. Planning my wedding out of state, I needed a responsive team, and Sarah L from the hotel was amazing. She answered all my emails promptly, always sent updated invoices and event orders, adjusted day of timelines based on my suggestions, and happily worked with all my vendors day of my wedding seamlessly. The day of my wedding she was like a ghost behind the scenes making everything run perfectly and would check on me throughout to ask if I needed anything. The food ended up being perfect and they accommodated dietary restrictions well for my bridal party getting ready in the morning and cocktail hour / reception. For being directly on the water, their pricing was comparable and even a bit better than other hotels for large parties in downtown Annapolis. 100% recommend. The day was perfect!! -

Incredible team and beautiful venue!
We have nothing but good to say about this venue and the team that helped us prepare for and execute our special day! Sarah was our wedding coordinator -- working with her prior to and on the wedding day made the wedding planning process so much easier! She was extremely communicative, kind, and helped our vision for the day come to life.
We had nothing but wonderful compliments from our guests about the venue itself, food, and staff. We chose their Elite package which gave us everything we wanted and so many options! Looking back at photos and video of our day, everything looked so elegant and classy. We can't recommend the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel enough!! -

Best day ever!!!
Annapolis Waterfront Hotel was truly the perfect wedding venue. It’s indoor-outdoor set up, spacious second-floor ballroom and patio overlooking Ego Alley was perfect to give our guests a fun, Maryland experience. Sarah and the team made sure the day went without a hitch, they worked with out vendors the morning of to make sure everything was set perfectly. Leading up to the day, Sarah was very responsive and willing to answer any questions. They also had a recommended vendor list, which made finding our vendors very easy. -

We CANNOT say enough great things about having our wedding at AWH! Sarah is exceptional and is exactly the person you want to make sure your wedding goes off without a hitch. My husband and I feel Sarah was the biggest asset of our wedding! We also stayed on property (along with about half our wedding guests) and from the time we arrived to the hotel everyone was very accommodating to us and helpful. Shout out to the valet mvp Austin & Alex from the hotel! All of our guests loved the venue and made many comments of how great the staff and accommodations were from Annapolis Waterfront Hotel. Thank you AWH and Sarah for making sure we had the best wedding day! -

So impressed!
I worked with Minna who did a fantastic job! Minna was available for meetings and always answered my emails in a timely manner. But most of all Minna is kind. The food was delicious. The Wedding day was perfect. I can’t say there is one thing I would of changed. -

We had our ceremony and reception at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel in July of 2022. Our wedding coordinator, Sarah, and her team did an incredible job making our special day possible. Living in a different part of the country, we planned our wedding remotely with Sarah and she was always there to hop on Zoom/conference calls whenever we needed to discuss details and answer any questions we had. She worked with our other professionals to help organize everything, and things could not have gone better. Sarah really went above and beyond for us, and we are so grateful for all that she did.
The venue itself was stunning. July in Annapolis is beautiful, but the weather can also be unpredictable. Lucky for us, the weather was not an issue. However, Sarah did walk us through all the details and setup of what our ceremony would look like in the event of bad weather.
Having the mix of the patio space and indoor space was really a hit with our guests. All of the furniture and bar fixtures were updated a few weeks before our wedding, and it all looked beautiful. The catering and bar staff were extremely courteous and professional. Sarah and her team did a great job in coordinating with our wedding planner to make sure the flow of the event went smoothly. We were able to really customize the space as we wanted it. Also, the catering team was accommodating when it came to customizing certain meal and bar requests. The room block was another great feature, thanks to the help of Christine. Being able to be on-site for all of the events was a comfort to our guests.
Our wedding was such a special event, and we could not have imagined going with a different venue looking back. Sarah and her team were so thoughtful in their effort and execution of our event, and we are grateful to have worked with them. Overall we had a great experience here, especially being downtown and having a waterfront view. We definitely felt like this was a great value, especially compared to venues in D.C. and locally in Annapolis. Thank you again to Sarah and her team at the AWH!

Jessica S. Sent on 09/08/2022Incredible venue and wedding team!
We could not have been happier with our experience getting married at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel! With many of our guests coming from out of town, it was an awesome location for them to see and Annapolis for the wedding weekend. The view from the balcony where we had our ceremony was spectacular, the food was delicious (lots of Maryland classics, and they accommodate all restrictions and diets easily), and the wedding team was AMAZING! They were so kind and experienced, we were in excellent hands the whole way through. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! -

Wow. That is all I can say. From Sarah, our wedding coordinator, to the hotel and valet staff. Everyone was extremely helpful and made our big day amazing. We had our ceremony and reception at the venue, which made the whole day logistically easy. The day went flawless and everyone raved about the view! If you’re thinking of having a downtown Annapolis wedding but are skeptical of a hotel venue, don’t overlook AWH! It’s location, all inclusive catering, valet, etc makes your planning easy with a grandeur finale! -

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah and her team at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel. Sarah and her team were proactive with the COVID 19 precautions and the wedding in August 2020 was a huge success! AWH was accommodating and flexible during the ever changing COVID 19 wedding planning process. It was a pleasure to work with AWH and I would highly recommend Sarah and her staff! -

Sarah L. and her team were amazing! We are so happy with our decision to get married at AWH. Planning with Sarah was super easy and she was so very organized and thoughtful!
Our weekend was absolutely perfect.
Sarah was always 2 steps ahead I appreciate all her help in having the day run smoothly. I felt like I was in good hands :). AWH was beautiful, our guest raved about the food. It was so convenient having our guests stay at AWH or nearby in town. We loved having the ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception all in one place. It was the perfect venue for us!
Also, I was so pleasantly surprised the day after the wedding I woke up with all the decorations neatly packed up in bins on a cart ready to go! Which made the pack up and car load easy. Something you don't even think when planning a wedding is the clean up!
We are very appreciative of AWH team!

Rebecca M. Sent on 02/15/2022The absolute best venue/wedding team
Absolutely Amazing!!!!! We could never thank them enough for making all of our wedding dreams come true! Getting married at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel, with Minna and Sarah leading our Wedding Team as our incredible venue coordinators, Christine the wonderful hotel Sales Manager, and all of the other amazing staff, was the absolute best decision we ever made. Our wedding was originally planned for 2020 at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel and then we decided to postpone to 2021 due to COVID. This meant we had almost 2 years of interacting and planning with our venue/Sarah, Minna, and Christine and they were always there every step of the way. We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience. We are forever so grateful for how they made a stressful time (of postponing a wedding during the height of COVID) such an easy, seamless process. Because of them, I was able to remove the stress of postponing from the planning and still feel the joy and happiness of planning process. Throughout the entire planning process they were so supportive, responsive, organized, helpful, kind and caring. They are so knowledgeable and thorough. I always felt I could go to them with any question during the process and they were always there. My parents, husband and I are so incredibly thankful to Minna, Sarah, Christine, the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel, and all of the staff. Our guests still rave about the wedding, our venue, our vendors, etc. I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding weekend but wish we could do it all again because it was the absolute best and we would only want to do it at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel with this fabulous Wedding Team! -

Kathleen Sent on 07/20/2021Perfect Annapolis venue!
For the nearly two years that we were engaged Sarah L was always very communicative and helpful. She answered our countless, detailed questions with enthusiasm and support. Her customer-service orientation gave us invaluable confidence and reassurance leading up to our big day.
We and our guests had countless positive things to say about the AWH itself. The venue’s renovation is timeliness and the private bridal party holding room was beautifully decorated and such a nice touch. Obviously the balcony’s view is stunning and the patio furniture is such a fun addition. The food was excellent and perfectly portioned.
On the day of our wedding we were so grateful for how Sarah went above and beyond to decorate and collect our personal items at the end of the night. We also were so thankful to have a room for our wedding night, chocolate covered strawberries and champagne included!
While the timeline was thrown off the night of our reception, Sarah kept us informed and relaxed throughout the night. The only thing that might be worth considering tweaking for future weddings is how the cake is served. We had many of our guests say that they missed the cake entirely and what was odd was when one of our bridesmaids asked a server about this he brought cake out for her from the back. -

I absolutely loved working with Sarah, Minna and the AWH team! They made planning my wedding in 2 months go so smoothly and so fun. They are so organized, kind and willing to work with you on whatever your vision may be! I am truly sad this planning experience with them has ended. Thank you AWH! All our guests keep telling us it was the best wedding! My wedding was beautiful and so
fun because of y’all!! -

Melissa H. Sent on 10/20/2020The Annapolis Waterfront Hotel should be your only choice!
The Annapolis Waterfront Hotel is a beautiful venue. There is ample space for guests indoors and outdoors. The food is also delicious and there is parking on site for your wedding day and rehearsal dinner.
Sarah L is a Wedding/Event Manager Extraordinaire! Her professionalism, gregarious demeanor, patience and attention to detail made our wedding day seamless.
We didn’t realize that we forgot our “Reserved Signs” for the ceremony and extra votives for our card table until we saw our wedding pictures. Sarah stepped right in and provided those items for us without ever mentioning it.
She is wonderful! Schedule your consultation now!! You won’t be disappointed!
