When it comes to corporate galas or weddings, the BMI is a best-kept secret in Baltimore! It is by far the most UNIQUE location for medium and large events. We recently held our corporate gala at the BMI on 12/9/23, and with the theme of 1920's, the museum's exhibits added to the excitement.
Our guests enjoyed the party space inside the museum and we also rented the exterior space, which overlooks the harbor. Located directly across from the iconic Domino Sugar sign, our guest clamored for photos with the sign in the background.
The museum staff were very attentive to our guests' needs and they worked hand-in-hand with our caterer, Zeffert and Gold, to ensure the gala was a success. The event space is very reasonably priced and ALL of you rental fee goes to the non-profit, how cool is that! This is our second time using the museum for important corporate events and they have delivered both times!

BMI Perfect Wedding Venue
Our day at the BMI was everything I dreamed of and it was truly the most beautiful and unique venue I could have imagined. Everyone commented on what a cool space it was and guests loved looking through the museum exhibits during cocktail hour. The team at BMI was also very professional, responsive, and kind and truly helped to make our day magical. Would absolutely reccomend!

Baltimore Museum of Industry
Kelly Edelman and the people at the BMI were terrific. They were professional and easy to work with. We were married Aug 26 2023 . It was the perfect venue. We were married on the point. Cocktail reception was on the patio and sit down dinner reception was inside for 185 people. The candle centerpieces looked beautiful. I recommend them for your wedding

Everyone loved our wedding at the BMI!
From the very first email with Kelley, we had a good feeling about the BMI--she was quick to respond and answered all of our questions right at the start. We had seen lots of photos online, but after our tour, we knew this was the place!
Working with the team was seamless, and as the bride, I felt decidedly less stressed knowing we were in their capable hands. The BMI team worked well with our caterer (Zeffert & Gold), and they were cool with the fact that we were DIYing elements of our wedding. We dropped several items off the day before, and they were set up perfectly when we arrived. They also let us use their sound system and wireless mic--we plugged a phone and hit play on different playlists throughout the night.
All of our guests loved the venue! We did pay extra to have the cannery gallery open, and several people raved about the tours they received during cocktail hour. The main gallery had ample space for all of our tables, food, dance floor--this place has it all! We could not have been more thrilled with our wedding at the BMI! Go visit and book it!!

We love BMI!
We had an amazing wedding at BMI! Kelley was so helpful throughout the process, from suggesting incredible wedding vendors to making sure that everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding itself. When a cookie delivery went a little awry on our wedding day (no fault of BMI's!), Kelley went above and beyond to handle it such that we didn't even know it happened until the problem had already been solved. Kelley is amazing and I would highly recommend BMI to absolutely anyone looking for a fun and non-stuffy venue for their wedding!

Beautiful, unique venue with great service!
I am so happy we chose the BMI for our wedding! It is a great combination of a unique, interesting space with beautiful views and surrounding scenery. We had everything indoors (including ceremony) and thought it looked really nice. The staff is very responsive and easy to work with. Kelley, the Events and Operations Manager, is very quick with email and answered any questions we had. Angie was our point person from the BMI on the day of and she was extremely helpful - she even coordinated the ceremony as we did not hire a day of coordinator. James and other BMI staff were great as well. Highly recommend!! Several guests commented on how much they loved the space too.

BMI is the perfect Baltimore Wedding Venue
We absolutely LOVED having BMI as venue for our wedding. You can not beat having the Baltimore harbor as the backdrop for your ceremony. The museum is a great conversation starter for people during cocktail hour - you can even put your own slideshow or movie together in the movie theater exhibit! The great room where the dinner was held is the perfect mix of historical artifacts and elegance. The staff was incredible to work with - Kelley and Angie were great and flexible. Kelley literally bent over backwards to make not only planning as easy as possible but also our actual wedding day the perfect day! She lit up the crane in rainbow for us as a surprise, and continued to make sure our glasses were full. Everything Kelley did was above and beyond the call of duty, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We really felt like we had a great friend looking out for us all night, not just a wedding vendor. We cannot recommend BMI enough!

Perfect Venue for Baltimore Wedding
It was really important to us that we get married in Baltimore, so the Baltimore Museum of Industry was literally the perfect spot for us. From the beautiful harbor views during the ceremony, to the fun and unique cocktail hour experience, and ending with the ideal sized dance floor- everything was excellent.
We also want to thank Kelly and Angie for all their help during the planning process and day of. Early on, Kelly said we did not need a day of coordinator and she was right. We did not have one and did not need one; Angie made sure the day flowed beautifully and that the space was decorated to our wishes.
Our guests had so much fun! We got a lot of compliments on how fun the space was.

Gorgeous view, unique decor, best venue!
We could not have had our wedding at a more perfect venue. We envisioned getting married by the water and BMI not only provided this but a completely unique and fun interior. We had to move our ceremony inside and it was just as beautiful with the entire harbor as our backdrop.
All our guests loved the exhibits and couldn’t get enough of the car for photos. After doing our initial walk through with Kelley it was a no brainer and we booked the next day. Angie was an absolute gem helping guide us through the rehearsal and timing for our ceremony. Everything was perfect and it was definitely due to her help and guidance throughout the night.

10/10 Perfect Baltimore Wedding Venue
It's difficult to know how to start this review, since the Baltimore Museum of Industry was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding. It's still incredible to me that we were married in such a special place. The outdoor location on the point for the ceremony was beyond what we had envisioned for the day, and we were comforted to know that even if it rained, we could still get married in such a beautiful location inside (those windows!).
From day one, Kelley from BMI was incredible to work with -- answering all of our questions, helping us prepare for the big day, and on the day-of being SO attentive. One example: Very few couples can say they actually ate on their wedding day, and Kelley made sure we did. :)
The museum itself is such an amazing space and I need to go back again to really take in the exhibits fully as a guest. Our guests loved walking around the museum during cocktail hour and we felt so proud to put Baltimore's best foot forward for our out-of-town guests, showing them the history of industry in Baltimore. We even got to put a video together to play in the theater during the cocktail hour, which was very special. This venue is absolutely everything I dreamed of for our big day and we don't have enough good things to say about getting married at the BMI!

Best venue ever!
BMI is the greatest wedding venue ever! You can have your ceremony overlooking the Inner Harbor, cocktail hour in the museum (so that guests can check out all of the awesome exhibits), and reception in a beautiful and fun space with beautiful windows and huge dance floor. We received so many compliments on the venue - especially from our out of town guests. We even had some guests go back to the BMI the next day because they couldn't get enough! Also, you'll get to work with Kelley at the BMI. Kelley is so positive, responsive, and thoughtful. She covers all of the details, and she ensures that your day goes as smoothly as possible. You should definitely book the BMI now!

Incredible wedding venue!
The Baltimore Museum of Industry was the perfect venue for our wedding! We knew we wanted something different than the typical hotel ballroom, and the BMI absolutely delivered! Luckily, the weather cooperated, and we were able to have our ceremony outside right on the harbor. Our guests were able to see all the exhibits during cocktail hour, and museum staff was accessible to help answer questions. One of the best parts of having a wedding at the BMI is that you don’t have to decorate; the Decker Gallery exhibits speak for themselves! Lastly, the event staff was excellent to work with, especially Kelley. She was patient, attentive, and supported us throughout the entire process. It was more than a wedding; it was an experience. Our guests cannot stop talking about how great our venue was!

I cannot overstate how excellent of a venue the Baltimore Museum of Industry is. Not only does it have the most beautiful view of the harbor and Domino's Sugar sign, the staff there are incredibly helpful and want you to have the best day of your life. Kelley is an absolute gem of a human and working with her made the experience of planning my wedding that much better. All of our guests commented how much they loved being able to wander around the museum during cocktail hour and see the exhibits. You will be so happy you had your event at the BMI!

The staff here are AMAZING. We booked ~ 1 year and a half out from our wedding date and from the start Kelley helped us plan. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything worked out for us and was nothing less of an absolute life saver. I would highly recommend this venue for an industrial theme wedding that your guests will love and rave about!

Kelley is a rockstar!
Kelley at the BMI was an absolute rockstar for our wedding. From helping us with the top notch vendors for our event and even supporting us the night of the event, she ensured we had an amazing experience and our guests raved about the venue. She even had the color scheme on the crane outside changed to rainbow colors as we were a gay couple. The staff worked so well with our vendors, were so kind and friendly to our family and friends and I don't know that the night could've been more perfect!

Most Beautiful Wedding
Thank you so much to the BMI for helping us throw the most beautiful wedding. They were such a pleasure to work with. They were responsive and were flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding due to the pandemic.
The museum is such a unique venue and all of our guests loved it. Almost no decoration is required given how beautiful and busy the museum is. Highly recommend using candles as part of your centerpieces as the museum is so beautiful at night.
The kids loved being able to watch movies in the movie theater during the reception.
They helped make sure our day went seamlessly and everyone loved the museum. I wish we could do it again.

Fantastic Venue!
BMI is an absolutely beautiful wedding ceremony & reception venue with so much to offer. We could not stop hearing from our wedding guests about how cool and beautiful the venue was. There are endless possibilities for wedding photos and we can’t wait to see a few of our exhibit photos. Having cocktail hour throughout the museum gave it an intimate but spacious feel.
Kelley and her team were phenomenal and made us feel like family from the start of our contract way back in 2019. Kelley was a great asset to have to answer any of our questions concerning ceremony chairs, layout, COVID requirements, and cocktail/reception general questions or concerns. It was an absolute pleasure having her there on the day of and we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way!

Great experience. Great venue. Perfect wedding.
We looked at various venues and I am so glad we went with BMI. The location is perfect, right on the harbor with beautiful views of the city. The venue has its own gated parking lot which is extremely helpful in the city. The museum itself lends a unique and unforgettable atmosphere to any occasion. But most importantly, we had Kelley who worked with us throughout the whole COVID year, rescheduling several times, and on our wedding day, she ensured we had the wedding we had hoped for. Kelley made sure the entire day ran smoothly and I couldn’t imagine a better wedding day. Can’t recommend Kelley and the BMI enough!! Great experience. Great venue. Perfect wedding.

BMI will make your wedding dreams come true!!!
I cannot fit in this text box all the great things I have to stay about BMI and most importantly Kelley Edelmann. When my husband and I first looked at pictures online of BMI we were intrigued but I wasn't sold until we had our first tour. At that point, I was blown away. The view, the large space and the character is unmatched and you cannot find it anywhere else. WE are still getting compliments from guests that it was the coolest venue they had ever been to! That itself would have been enough to make it the best day ever but then they topped it off with Kelley. Kelley has the most calming, understanding and confident demeanor that the second I walked into BMI on my wedding day, any anxieties I had about the evening disappeared. She told us during our tour that we didn't need a day of coordinator because she would "handle it" She was NOT KIDDING. Her along with the caterer helped put our tables together, worked on timing and line ups and literally anything I could think of. She even gave directions to one of my not so tech savvy grandparents who got lost driving here. I mean, she does it ALL. From the bottom of my heart I thank Kelley for everything she did to make Wes and I's wedding day the most magical day of our lives.

Amazing, Perfect and Unforgettable
Thank you to Kelley Edelmann and the team at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. We can't say enough about the AMAZING night we had for my daughter's wedding on 6-4-2021. It was just INCREDIBLE! The museum is such a cool venue for a wedding- waterfront outdoor area for a ceremony but also a magnificent floor to ceiling window wall where the ceremony could be if the weather was inclement. Zero stressing about the weather!! In the city but with a huge off street parking lot where we were able to load and unload our supplies and our guests could easily and safely park with ZERO stress! And then to top it off, Kelley Edelmann is the most professional, personable, kind and over the top helpful human you could ever want helping you plan for such a big day. She was there every step of the way and in a HUGE way the night of the wedding. We cannot say enough about Kelley and the magical night she made happen for our daughter and son-in-law and for everyone who attended! Thank you is just so insufficient, but THANK YOU!!! God bless you!

BMI is a top notch venue - great service
We were married at the Baltimore Museum of Industry in October of 2020 and we could not be happier with our experience. The staff (Claire, Kelly, and Angie) were incredible to work with. We are very happy with how they handled our COVID reschedule and on the day of the event Kelly helped us with every detail. They were so generous and professional and took as much stress out of the pandemic as they could. It’s clear that vendors love working with the BMI as they seem to have a great relationship with all of them. We really loved the views on the water - a true Baltimore Experience. A fantastic experience and we highly recommend them and cannot say enough good things about these people!

Such a fantastic venue!
My husband and I had been so incredibly excited to have our April 2020 wedding reception at the BMI ever since we started looking into venues shortly after our engagement in November 2019. Kelley was absolutely amazing to work with. She was highly responsive to email, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and was eager to assist us with planning our wedding. At the start of the COVID19 pandemic when we found out we would have to postpone the reception due to city and state restrictions, Kelley was so understanding of our concerns and supported us as we navigated the difficult process of re-scheduling. After a need to re-schedule a second time, my husband and I decided to just cancel the reception entirely. The BMI was incredibly understanding and accommodating of our experience, and they offered us a full refund of all deposits made to the museum which we are very grateful for. We hope to do an anniversary party instead a few years from now when COVID is no longer interfering with life, and we definitely plan to have the event at the BMI!

Stephanie, thank you for your kind words. We were disappointed too but look forward to having you back to celebrate at another time!

Picture Perfect
Let's start with the venue itself. My wife and I viewed 3 total locations with the BMI being the last, and let's just say, it was an absolute no-brainer in going with the BMI. It offered such a unique setting that offered so much more than your "traditional" venue. Outside of not having to plan and spend money on decorating the entire venue, it offered an amazing opportunity for bridal party and family pictures. We had a lot of guests ask us how we knew/found out about the venue because they thought it was an awesome location.
While the venue was great, the event manager at BMI, Kelley Edelman, was what made our experience top notch. Kelley was so very responsive from the very beginning, especially when we had questions or needed to make changes as a result of COVID. We also ran into a situation where our venue that we reserved and paid for our rehearsal dinner went out of business due to COVID, and she was willing to accommodate us under their covered pavilion and get us a deal with one of their preferred catering vendors. Kelley was also key in taking a lot of stress off my wife and I the day before and day of the wedding as we were able to drop off all of our decorations, party favors, etc, and she made sure she understood our wants in terms of how we wanted these items staged inside the museum. Upon our arrival to the museum the day of our wedding, we honestly could not have arranged everything any better than Kelley did! It was picture perfect! Because of Kelley, we were able to enjoy our day without any worries. I truly feel like we now can call Kelley a friend and not just our BMI Event Manager.

We got married at BMI November 23, 2019 and it was simply amazing. Kelley is the ABSOLUTE BEST! She will make you feel at ease- she is so easy to work with and also makes you feel like wedding planning is a piece of cake. We couldn't have been more happy with our wedding and choosing BMI. Everyone who attended our wedding raved about the venue and its uniqueness.

Great Venue
Our guests had an amazing time at this venue. We opted to rent out the gallery during cocktail hour and our guests really loved the interactions that they had with the staff while they showed them how the museum worked. The pier outside was everything we had hoped for our outdoor wedding. The inside reception hall (and rain plan we didn’t need) was beautiful as well with floor to ceiling windows over looking the Baltimore skyline. I needed very few decorations because of the exhibits in the museum. I would say 200 people though would probably be the max in order to still have a nice sized dance floor. I included the price but this was for a 6 hour Sunday event with extra galleries.
Baltimore Museum of Industry's reply:
Aw, thank you for the kind words, Brittany. We agree that one of the great features here is the ability to save on money (and headaches!) by not over-thinking the decor since we have so many interesting artifacts as a backdrop. Who can compete with a WWII plane hanging from the ceiling!

Perfect fit
Kellie and her staff were super easy to work with. They made us feel like family, especially when they let us bring our puppy to the ceremony too. Kellie was always quick to respond and didn’t think any of our questions were silly. The museum was spotless which made decorating easy and they even let us store most of our items the night before to make the day go as smooth as possible. It was perfect!

Thanks for the kind words, Rachael. We're delighted when four-legged friends can join in the celebration. Most of the staff here have dogs too, so we know how important it is to have them present for the big moments.

The most incredible venue!
I cannot say enough great things about BMI. Kelley was amazing from the minute we were even interested in the venue - she responds to emails quickly and genuinely cares about doing her part in making your day a success. She is not only a great help, but a great person. I was thrilled to find out she would be there the night of our wedding and she was just as attentive and caring as I anticipated. As for BMI itself, I could not imagine having had our wedding anywhere else. The only thing we were a little bummed about when we booked is that you can't get married before 6:00 because the museum doesn't close until 4, but it ended up being perfect. We still did our first look and all wedding party and family photos prior to the ceremony starting at 3:15ish and we loved that. We got married on 11/2, the clocks switching that night, and originally were hoping to get married outside - we actually decided inside for the slight chilliness and darkness factors and we don't regret it one bit/felt it was just as beautiful. The sun setting in the background was unreal. Guests loved the atmosphere, the beauty and quirks of the museum, great photo opps, the stunning view of the harbor and the Domino Sugars sign. I could go on and on about this venue. Absolutely AMAZING experience!

Gorgeous Outdoor Ceremony
I fell in love with the BMI immediately. I loved the idea of having the ceremony on the pier with the water in the background. Then as a back up plan we could move the ceremony inside where there was a wall of windows so you could still see the city line.
Claire was more then accommodating and out day of help, Angie was fantastic. They were sweet and helpful in all questions about rentals and what we could and could not bring in.
We had all the exhibits open and our guests loved talking to the volunteers and being able to learn some history during the cocktail hour. The space is huge and our guests never felt crowded!
I highly recommend this venue if you would like the option of an outdoor ceremony with tons of different locations for photos.

Cannot WAIT to get married here!
As two people involved in MANY previous weddings, finding a place where our immediate friends and family hadn't had THEIR weddings at before was really hard. While we knew someone who knew someone who had their wedding at BMI, again- none of our immediate circle had which was important to us. Ms. Angie showed us around and gave a very helpful packet of information. The cost for the time was very reasonable and everything that's included is REALLY going to wow our guests. Again, we CANNOT. WAIT.
Baltimore Museum of Industry's reply:
Meghan, we're thrilled you chose the BMI for your big day and we look forward to working with you over the next year!

Amazing wedding venue!
We had our wedding at the BMI in October 2019 and I can't rave about it enough! We worked with Kelley throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding--she was so helpful, responsive and put my mind at ease! The venue itself is so interesting--it has a lot of character on its own and needs very little added decor. Our friends and family continue to tell us how amazing our wedding was and how cool the museum is. The venue has beautiful water views, a huge parking lot, is close to hotels and is much more interesting than your standard ballroom. Thanks to the BMI for the best day ever!

Love at First Sight
When we decided we were going to get married in Baltimore, we chose a variety of places to go and see. The Baltimore Museum of Industry (BMI) was our first place and immediately loved it, since we had a long list of others to check out (7 to be exact) we did not book right away. Kelley Edelmann was so kind to us and immediately made us feel like family, and said if we did decide elsewhere that she wished us many years of happiness. After looking at the other possible venues we were always comparing it to BMI. The water view, outside possibility for ceremony, unique Baltimore charm (especially a hit for my family from out of town). We wanted our wedding venue to show where we started a life together and reflect upon who we are as people. We had a slideshow of pictures of our friends and family, as well as access to the full museum to highlight my husband's family (who all are born & raised in Baltimore). We would not have made it through the day without Kelley and I know when you look at the BMi & meet her you will feel the same!

We loved it!
We absolutely loved this venue! We loved having our ceremony out on the pier and having the beautiful views of the harbor all night long. There is plenty of parking and room to spread out, and we loved that the museum has so much character that you don't need to do a lot to dress it up. We also liked that we would be the only wedding on site for a given night, even if you don't pay extra to use every single spot on the property. The staff at the BMI is awesome. Definitely take their recommendations for their suggested vendors! They know the space so well and will make your day run flawlessly. We are so happy with our decision.

Wedding Day
Our wedding was incredible.
Kelley, our coordinator at the Museum was nothing short of AMAZING. She was so quick to respond to any and all of emails, answered all of my questions and just made my husband and I feel much more at ease.
This venue is so beautiful and there's so many amazing things you can do with it in terms of decorations and themes. So much creative freedom to take in with the Baltimore city scene.
Would definitely recommend

BMI was a great place to hold our wedding! We had the option for the outdoor ceremony and then did our reception inside. The venue was unique and beautiful. Kelley, our contact there, was extraordinarily helpful, responsive, and accommodating. We were super happy with our experience there and would definitely recommend it to any couple looking to get married on the Baltimore Harbor!

Best Venue Ever
Finding the perfect venue is probably one of the toughest decisions you will make when planning a wedding. For us, we wanted a venue that was welcoming, unique, centrally-located, and affordable. We toured a lot of venues that had one or two of those characteristics, but only BMI had it all. There's something special for every guest at this museum, as evidenced by all the people who would go on to tell us this was the coolest wedding venue they'd ever been to. The cherry on top was the staff. Kelley was a pleasure to work with. Unlike a lot of venues, she never tried to place the hard sale on us with anything. She was always easy-going and accommodating and took the stress out of everything. We must've asked her a thousand questions in months leading to our wedding, and she was always so helpful and responsive. She was also incredibly helpful and knowledgeable when it came to other local vendor recommendations. We can't recommend this venue enough.

Best Venue in the DMV
I did pretty extensive research on venues in the DMV area, and toured a number of them. BMI is simply the best one. The venue itself is stunning, the staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating, the back-up ceremony rain plan (indoors) is just as stunning as the outdoor one, there are tons of unique and beautiful on-site locations for photo ops...the list goes on. We also really liked that, while they do require clients to select their caterers from a list, the list isn’t just one or two caterers like some other Baltimore-area venues. BMI’s catering list is pretty extensive and still allows the client to choose from a number of different options and price points, which was important to us.
We had sooo many guests tell us that BMI was “stunning,” and the coolest venue they had ever been to. We couldn’t agree more! Thank you to Claire and everyone else at BMI who helped make our day so special.
Baltimore Museum of Industry's reply:
Jenn, thank you! We do believe in providing an array of choices for catering and I'm glad it helped make planning easier. You were great to work with--it makes our jobs so fun with clients like you!

The BEST Venue Ever!
Baltimore Museum of Industry was the PERFECT wedding venue! It is so unique and gorgeous on it's own, we didn't even need to really decorate, which I loved! Kelley helped us throughout the process and she was SO nice, responsive to all our questions, and super helpful! Thanks Kelley!! Booking the BMI for our venue was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We got so many compliments from our guests, everyone couldn't stop telling us how cool the venue was! From the beautiful outdoor space on the harbor, to the city views, to all the awesome exhibits that people could explore, everything was absolutely perfect! Can't recommend this venue enough!
Baltimore Museum of Industry's reply:
Thank you, Sarah! We're so glad your big day went well and that we were able to be a part of it. Wishing you both much happiness in your new life together!

Great for the whole family!
We loved this venue! It was the only place we looked because right away we knew it was perfect. It was great for me, the bride, because I love being near the water and the city of Baltimore and it was great for my Grooms family who is from out of town and knows nothing about the east coast. Everyone loved the view, the history and the kids loved playing in the car!
The weather on our big day was a Code Red with scattered storms. While this was a bit of a bummer, the venue still had an outdoor feel despite having to have the ceremony inside. It was really nice to know I did not have to worry about weather ruining anything on the wedding day!
Finally, I want to thank Kelly who was in charge at BMI on the wedding night. While I know she does plenty of weddings and had a lot going on, she was so kind and felt like a member of the family/team in just a few short hours of knowing her.
Baltimore Museum of Industry's reply:
Eloise, thank you for the kind words. We're delighted your guests had a great time (especially the kids in the car!) and we hope to see you and David at the museum again soon.

Kelley and Claire at the BMI were so fantastic to work with, and really helped to make wedding planning come together effortlessly. They were kind, knowledgeable, and offered so much input about things that we hadn't really considered. They worked with our vendors, and my coordinator to help us have the most perfect day! As for the actual venue-- I cannot wait to see our pictures! The view from our ceremony site (out on the point) were absolutely stunning. We also had several pictures taken inside in the exhibits!! Great photo-ops inside and out!! I cannot recommend the BMI enough!!

Excellent wedding reception venue
I highly recommend the Baltimore Museum of Industry as a wedding reception venue. The staff including Claire, Kelley, and Angie were very accommodating and professional throughout the planning process. There is a lot for guests to explore and see within the museum, in addition to the venue being very large and spacious. There is a beautiful view of the Baltimore harbor/skyline outside which is a wonderful backdrop for photographs. There is ample parking for guests and it is a very unique venue. We were very happy and pleased that we chose the Baltimore Museum of Industry!

Unique and Fun!
Everyone could not stop talking about how unique and fun this venue was. Our guests toured the museum during cocktail hour, and they had a great time! The photos that we took outside with the Baltimore skyline turned out breath taking! Its an amazing backdrop, along with the BMI sign as well! Those that work the venue are so professional, Kelley helped coordinate our event, and leading up to our wedding if we would send her an email, she would respond within the hour or faster, which means so much! She was there during the event and helped everything run smoothly! Thankfully it did not rain on our wedding day so we could use up the entire space, but the inside space with the wall of windows to the Baltimore skyline makes for an amazing plan B ceremony space.

Best Day Ever
From the moment we emailed to see if they were available to the last few seconds of our wedding night everything was absolutely perfect!! Kelley is a phenomenal day of coordinator! I would email her at all hours and ask the most ridiculous questions and she always responded immediately and put my mind at ease with everything being answered! You are truly lucky if you get her as your day of! She was so thoughtful for pictures and even gave us props to use in our movie theater pictures!!!! She made sure my day was perfect from the moment it started to the minute it ended! And for the venue itself it is amazing! You do not need many decorations since the museum itself has so much going on! I loved that my guests were able to go around the entire museum throughout the whole night! It truly was the best day my life and I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

A fun and unique space
The BMI is a fun and unique place to get married. We picked it because we wanted to get married outside but also have the reception and ceremony one place. The BMI fit our requirements. To top it off, everyone who works at the BMI is super helpful especially Kelley who is available to answer all your questions and give you suggestions based on her experience.

Keiser/McFaul Wedding
I loved working and getting married at Baltimore Museum of Industry. Everyone who I worked with there was responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. The venue itself is beautiful, and all of my guests commented on how fun and photogenetic the location was. Plenty of room for a wedding of 100 to something much, much bigger. Also, I found them to be the most reasonably priced location for what I was looking for.
Baltimore Museum of Industry's reply:
Karen, thank you for your comments about the BMI. We loved working with you too and wish you both all the best!
Words can not adequately express how amazing this venue was. First, it was vitally important that our puppy be in our wedding and the BMI could accommodate!!! We worked with Clair and Kelley and both were AMAZING!!! They helped us with every question even when we asked the same ones multiple times. They worked so well with our other vendors and are just so easy to work with. We had a black tie event and the venue was beautiful for it! We also rented the canning exhibit and multiple guests made a point to say how much they loved the Docent, Mr. Ed. And how great he was during our cocktail hour. I cannot say enough good things about this venue!!!

Our Perfect Wedding Venue
We were ecstatic with our choice of the Baltimore Museum of Industry for our wedding venue. It had so much more to offer than a regular hall rental, and was competitively priced. We had no need to purchase or rent decor or lighting elements, as everything was already in place. The Decker Gallery was the most interesting and fun location for a wedding we could have imagined. We received numerous compliments from our guests. The view across the Inner Harbor was phenomenal, and we are blessed with incredible photos that would not have been possible at another location. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful in all of our planning, and were quick to answer our questions. We chose to use the in-house movie theater for a slideshow, and we elected to open some of the galleries for our guests to enjoy. For the small extra cost to open a gallery, it was a no-brainer. We loved this venue and would recommend it to anyone!

Sunday Wedding
We were married at the BMI on 10/14/18 and could have imagined a more picture-perfect event. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was perfect for our Baltimore themed wedding. The opportunity to have a waterfront ceremony and a modern, neon-lit reception all in one venue is astounding! We worked with Kelley throughout the year to plan our event, and she was everything we could have hoped for and more. She responded to emails quickly, gave excellent advice, made suggestions as needed, ensured we got the most out of our time for the evening, and was just all-around hilarious. Angie was our contact for the rehearsal and day of the wedding, and her efficiency and expertise helped make sure our day ran smoothly and on schedule.
Both our out-of-town and Baltimore-native guests were blown away by the atmosphere of the BMI, and we were thrilled with the service and the price. It is a stunning venue that will make your day one to remember!

BMI was an amazing location for our wedding. We had both our ceremony (outside) and reception here. Everything ran smoothly and guests loved the uniqueness of the location.

I just got married this past weekend, and I cannot explain how unbelievably thrilled we were with the BMI. From the first moment we toured the space a year and a half ago until this past Saturday at our actual wedding, working with them was a dream.
We worked with Kelley specifically, who was so professional, helpful, accommodating and just fun. She quelled any fears we had and provided really insightful tips on other vendors to use, what kind of music would be audible during the ceremony on the dock, etc. She all around was just awesome and I plan to go back and visit her on a regular basis- that's how cool and kind she is.
As for the space itself, it's mind-blowing. From the gorgeous harbor view on the dock, illuminated by the picturesque Domino Sugar sign to the amazing array of funky, awesome exhibits inside, one-of-a-kind doesn't even begin to do it justice. It is somehow both industrial, artsy and stunningly beautiful all at once. It's the perfect venue for the offbeat couple. There's even a movie theater inside which we had play reruns of the Office the entire time (personal touch)! Everyone I talked to commented on the space and raved about how it was the coolest wedding venue they'd ever seen. And considering that the super reasonable rental price also includes tables, chairs, leaving most of the exhibits open AND a giant free parking lot? It just cannot be beat.
Check it out. You will not regret it-- and you will have the coolest wedding you and everyone you invite has EVER been to.

We had a wonderful experience at the BMI! We wanted a unique space with great views of the harbor, so the BMI was the perfect choice. Kelley was amazing and promptly responded to all of our questions. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue and how cool it was to view the exhibits on the wedding day. Our bridal party and family raved about Kelley and how helpful she was the day of the event. We were so happy with how everything turned out and so glad we picked the BMI!

There is no better place to have an event than the Baltimore Museum of Industry! The BMI went above and beyond our expectations! First off all, the people at BMI are the most helpful, attentive, caring people. They made me feel like our wedding was the most important event going on at the BMI. When I had questions, I always got immediate responses from Kelley. She had answers and solutions for everything I needed. Angie was at our event and was one step ahead of everything. The museum is a beautiful setting both inside and out. The ceremony was outside on the patio and couldn't have been better. The view of the city skyline, the activity on the water and the evening sunset is perfect! The reception was inside and was elegant. There is no need for expensive decorations because the museum offers such a beautiful backdrop. I had votive candles in the wall of glass windows and simple candles in jars on the tables. Our guests could walk through the museum, dance, walk outside on the pier and enjoy the sunset and city lights on the water. I am 110% happy with our selection of the BMI and strongly recommend having your wedding there! They have it all!!

My Husband and I are so happy that we selected the BMI as the venue for our wedding. From the very beginning for the tour to the day of the wedding, everything was made effortlessly. I worked with Kelley the most and she was always so responsive to my questions and glad that she was the POC for the day of. The venue itself is so fun and the views of Baltimore are the best! I was going for a Baltimore theme and this venue nailed it! I would highly recommend the BMI for any special event.

This venue was awesome! We ended up having a much smaller guest count than we originally anticipated (we invited more than 150 and ended up in the low 80s, due to a lot of people living very far away), but it didn’t feel too spacious even though it could have handled hundreds more people, because of the way they set up the space Since it is essentially a large open rectangle, there aren’t many limitations on how they can arrange your tables/dance area/seating. We also did our ceremony indoors because of heat and rain, and it was still beautiful in front of the wall of glass windows facing out on the harbor. We loved working with Kelley who is a really cool, down-to-earth and extremely helpful person. They were very accommodating and responsive.
The exhibits are built-in entertainment for your guests, and a lot of fun. We also paid to have the Cannery open during the cocktail hour, and it was a nice touch to allow everyone to walk around the museum while the food was being set up. (In case you’re interested, we went with Rouge Catering - I believe the museum has a list of approved caterers, and Rouge is on this list. They are very familiar with this venue and didn’t need any help figuring out set up arrangements or coordination).
My only constructive criticism: I made a video to play in the theater room (I highly recommend doing this, it was so fun and all the guests loved it), but I would heartily suggest watching the entire video all the way through on the big screen before the event! My video was cut off towards the end unfortunately, it wasn’t a huge deal but it probably could have been avoided. Also, the first time through, the video crashed so I had to run get the event manager - again not a huge deal but perhaps we should have played it all the way through once before the event started to make sure it would run smoothly. I think that is a very minor issue, which was half my own fault. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Our daughter and son-in-law chose The Baltimore Museum of Industry for their wedding. They wanted something unique that fit more of their personalities than the big wedding venue. From the first time we met with Claire and Kelley we realized that this would be the perfect location. The ceremony took place overlooking the water and the evening photos with the lights and buildings was just stunning.
Claire and Kelley could not have been more helpful and accommodating. They worked with us and were very flexible. Kelley was there the entire evening to make sure all went smoothly.
Our guests loved the venue and all it had to offer. They enjoyed checking out the venue during the cocktail hour and seeing all the different displays they had. The cocktail hour was set up throughout the venue so people could really enjoy what the museum had to offer.
We could not have been happier with our choice to have the wedding at THE BMI and would recommend anyone looking for a place to have a wedding or any other large party to have it there.

BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING!!! This venue is absolutely perfect and we are so happy that we had our wedding reception there!!! Between the displays and the panoramic views of the harbor -- everything was great. The BMI was easy to work with , responsive, and took care of our needs. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our 190 guests. The dance floor (with a band) was plentiful and at night, the guests were able to enjoy the patio outside as well.

GO FOR THE SPACE, STAY FOR THE STAFF!
BMI is very unique space. There's plenty of cool exhibits, so at a minimum, just go check it out. From the start we communicated with Kelley and were then linked with Angie for our tour. These two women are phenomenal. Kelley is probably the most responsive person we worked. She answered any and every question I had and made me feel completely at ease. Angie was our day of venue rep, and she really made it all come together. She worked SO well with our other vendors. We had torrential downpours on our wedding day, especially right when I arrived. Angie made sure that I got in the building quickly, discretely, and DRY!
Due to those downpours, we had to move our ceremony inside. The space was just as perfect inside as the vision we had for outside. The large windows really gave us the perfect background. We really maxed out the space with our 250-person guest list, but no one felt cramped or uncomfortable. During the cocktail hour, there was plenty of space for our guests to walk around and explore the museum while we took photos in the gallery. The exhibits also just gave them stuff to do rather than stand around and have idle conversations. We couldn't be more happy with our choice.
TIP: Go with Zeffert & Gold Catering. They know the space very well and adapt quickly.

Jon and I got married at the Baltimore Museum of Industry on May 5th and absolutely loved it. Our guests (especially the out of town guests) are still ranting and raving about the venue. Despite the weather it turned out to be an amazing evening. Angie was a huge help and as the bride, if anything went wrong I had no clue haha because that night was absolutely perfect. I did most of my planning interaction with Kelley Edelmann who was very responsive, within 24 hours, to all of my emails and/or phone calls and everything went off without a hitch. From the sneak peek of photos we received last week, the pictures are spectacular. We took photos in the blacksmith shop, at the green car, in the theater and outside the Pharmacy which turned out so unique and really captured the personality of the venue, of us, and of the evening. Thank you for making that night such as special evening!

What a terrific venue!!!! Kelley helped me step 1 till the last day. Angie was the coordinator of the wedding day and wow what a great job. My family and guests were blown away by the great décor, beautiful skyline and over al energy this place provided for our wedding day. Everyone was easy to work with and responded to questions and concerns immediately. I would definitely give this place a chance you won't be disappointed!!!

The Baltimore Museum of Industry was the PERFECT place for our wedding. I cannot say enough about how the staff, venue, view, professionalism and friendliness! From the day we first toured we received nothing but warmth and excitement for our wedding from the BMI, especially Kelley. I think they might have been even more excited then we were! Our guests are still talking about the charm and space. Absolutely beautiful. I wish we could do it all over again!!

Even before getting engaged, I knew the BMI was the venue in which I wanted to have my wedding. And after taking my now husband for the first time, he was immediately on board with the idea. Once we got engaged, we didn’t even bother looking anywhere else. From the get go, we knew we made the right decision. We had the pleasure of working with Kelley throughout the planning process and to say she is amazing is an understatement. Even on the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond to ensure that we did not have to worry about a single thing beyond enjoying ourselves. So if you’re looking for a wedding venue with an amazing and ultra-accommodating staff, expansive water views, interesting and interactive exhibits for guests, and the knowledge that the money you’re paying is going toward keeping this wonderful and unique museum open, look no further.

There is no place on this planet more magical for a winter wedding. I can barely put in to words what this venue means to my Husband and I. When we first visited the museum, I saw this space and said “wouldn’t it be so cool to be married here?” But when we got engaged, we thought we’d never make it happen. From day one of this process, Kelley, Claire and team were AMAZING. We visited on a Sunday and they walked us through everything- set up, cost, timing, their upcoming Wedding show, exhibit bits, when we could visit for walk-through, what to expect the weekend of, EVERYTHING. We quickly reached out about a date and got set up. Throughout the process, I relied on Kelley for advice on vendors, decor, layout, getting our insurance and more. No email went unanswered, they actually exceeded every expectation. During our rehearsal, I was a bit nervous. However, they managed to wrangle 20+ people and get everyone excited! They made sure everyone who was walking was comfortable and had their moment. The day of was beyond our wildest dreams. Kelley unlocked the dock for our first look- a special moment as we had once sunk a boat just outside the museum. She also helped organize our set up and ensured everyone made it in for the ceremony. She was present for the entire day, whenever we needed her. I can’t really express how grateful we are to the BMI team for making our dreams a reality for the very best day of our lives.

The team at the BMI was so helpful and responsive! The venue itself was simply amazing and was everything we imagined for our big day. We had around 100 guests and the space was very accommodating to this number of guest but could have handle a wedding with more than double that number of guests. We want to thank the team at the BMI for their quick responses to all our questions and needs they always responded within one business day! There is no better place to get married in all of Maryland!!

When my husband and I were looking for a unique venue in Baltimore, the BMI was the perfect choice! We had an indoor evening wedding and the view of the harbor, even from inside, was amazing. Guests were raving about all the different rooms and loved having a docent available during cocktail hour to explain parts of the museum to them. We worked with Kelley during the planning process and she made everything so simple. On the day of, we had some one there to help with ceremony set up and to make the night run smoothly, there was no need for a day of planner! I cannot recommend this place enough; if you want a unique experience for your guests the BMI is absolutely the place for your wedding!

When we first began planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to hold our reception somewhere memorable. From our first visit at the BMI, we we certain that it was a place that our guests would never forget. We had the most incredible experience working with the Baltimore Museum of Industry. Claire and Kelly do a wonderful job suggesting vendors, helping to coordinate vendors the night of the event, and making sure everything runs smoothly. Our guests had an incredible time, and we had a gorgeous backdrop to celebrate one of the most important events of our lives.
i planned my own wedding without the help of a planner, and I cannot stress enough how much holding our reception at the BMI eased the process for me. Claire made sure that we had a meeting in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and worked with our caterer to establish both a rain and shine plan. We loved having our cocktail hour on the deck, which was a beautiful setting for photographs, and then moving the party inside for the rest of the night. The space is perfect for a wedding of 150-200 people, and the shape of the room lends itself to getting people on the dance floor. We also loved having things for our guests to do (wander the museum) if they weren't as in to dancing. We would absolutely book the BMI again, and look forward to having somewhere to visit to relive our wedding day! (All Photos are Photography By Brea)

Great venue with an even better location! Everyone at BMI was such a pleasure to work with. For how gorgeous the venue is, we expected it to be very expensive but in actuality it was below our budget! We loved being able to get married outside and then have the cocktail hour and reception indoors all while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Such a wonderful and unique venue! A beautiful space inside the museum with so many interesting and fun exhibits. Plus the harbor is a great backdrop. The BMI and Domino Sugar signs outside that are lit keep the view beautiful at night and are also great for nighttime pictures. All of the staff at the museum were friendly, helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend the BMI as a wedding and event venue. Guests were commenting all night and after the wedding, as well about how great of a venue it was. I am so happy we found this unique spot, it was absolutely perfect. I could not have imagined my wedding anywhere else!

The BMI was a very unique and beautiful venue. It has a beautiful few of Baltimore's Inner Harbor . They are sooo accommodating. They helped setting up , provided ladders and easels for or signs. They helped get our movie/slideshow working. They even got our 3 yr old flower girl to walk down the isle. Very professional and worth every cent.

Having our wedding at the BMI was nothing short of amazing. Months later, we continue receiving compliments on how awesome of a venue we had. Thanks to Claire and Kelley, my wedding stress was eliminated and I knew that they would take care of anything I needed. They were quick to respond to my emails, and genuinely invested in helping us plan our wedding. My wife and I recommend the Baltimore Museum of Industry for couples who want a cool, interesting, and fun wedding venue in the heart of Baltimore! :)

I am SO happy we chose to have our reception at the Baltimore Museum of Industry!!! My husband and I are museum junkies so we researched each one in the city. The reason we went with BMI was because of the gorgeous view across the harbor and the industrial theme - we barely had to provide our own decor because there was already so much for our guests to see. Our contact Kelley was extremely easy to communicate with and so accommodating. She was able to answer every question I had from invoice to tablecloth size. Also, the museum provides the tables and chairs for guests. They have a list of approved caterers which sometimes scares brides and grooms away, but thankfully (and unlike other venues we visited) BMI had one that fit our budget. We couldn't have made a better decision than to go with the BMI!

This venue is absolutely amazing. It had everything we were looking for - right on the water, beautiful scenery, funky exhibits and indoor and outdoor capability. Our guests loved being able to go outside and walk around as well as peruse the museum. The staff are easy to work with and helpful. We rented the gallery and terrace and it was plenty for our day. The ceremony was indoors, but the outdoor area is also perfect for a ceremony. We loved how very Baltimore this felt and every minute in our venue. I highly recommend this location, but book fast, they fill up quick!

It was very challenging at first trying to find a wedding venue that had a mix of everything my husband and I wanted. Once we determined we wanted to be around the Harbor, we narrowed down our search to a few places that included BMI. BMI was where I had my first field trip as a child so I wasn’t wowed by the idea of getting married at the same place I learned how to shuck an oyster. My husband had been to a wedding there before and he insisted we look at it. I was set on an outdoor ceremony right on the water and BMI had 2 different options for that, not to mention a GREAT rain plan option, which made me feel so at ease. I’m an event planner and I always see brides choose a venue based on plan A and not think about plan B. What was great about BMI was that I was in love with both plan A and plan B if it rained. So I couldn’t be that unhappy if it rained on our wedding day. We had cocktails outside on the terrace area with a rain plan to be throughout the museum (which is the coolest backup rain plan I’ve ever heard of!). Reception space was inside with floor to ceiling glass windows to look out onto the inner harbor. It was a photographer’s paradise inside the venue.
Our photographer kept pulling us into different rooms in the venue space to get pictures in the soda shop, the movie theater, and in the kitchen with Domino Sugars. Claire and her staff were so great throughout the entire planning and execution process. We were allowed to come in whenever we wanted to look at the space, test out our video, and do walk throughs with vendors. My day of coordinators interacted with Claire’s team really well that day. If they needed anything to get done, BMI handled it! The wedding went off with no problems at all. If you’re looking for a venue on the water with inside and outside options, look no further, BMI is the venue for you!

Our wedding was absolutely beautiful! We loved that we could do our ceremony inside or outside, and both were great options. The staff was great to work with and very professional. Our guests loved how different it was and not the typical ballroom. They were very flexible and accommodating with what we wanted to do, and our 200 person wedding didn't feel cramped at all. We also liked that people could enjoy the baltimore skyline outside it they needed a break outside. Great place for a wedding!

Our experience with the BMI could not have gone any better. Throughout the planning process I was in contact with both Kelley and Claire and both were always extremely responsive and patient with my endless questions. We had both our ceremony and reception here and thanks to Kelley (who was there the entire time), everything went off smoothly and without a hitch - which I was worried about since I hadn't hired a wedding planner or day-of coordinator. Guests loved walking around the museum during cocktail hour and all of the amazing photo opportunities outside on the waterfront. I can't say enough good things!

Multiple guests said this was the most interesting venue they had ever attended for a wedding! Both local and out of town guests enjoyed the museum exhibits as part of the event, and we could not have been happier with the working relationship we had with the venue staff. Pricing was lower than many other area museums, and offered many different options that we could customize to our budget. The chair rental also meant we did not have to use any outside rental items! The location, parking, professionalism, and overall staff made for a great event!

From the very first interaction we had with the BMI right through and after our wedding, we had the BEST experience. Every single staff member we worked with was responsive, open, and extremely helpful. The venue was recommended by a friend, and we didn't end up looking anywhere else - we knew that the combination of fantastic service, competitive prices and an unbeatable location for a Federal Hill wedding was more than we could hope for. Some of my favorite aspects of the venue: The space is interesting and unique for both an indoor and outdoor cocktail ceremony, there are plenty of things to entertain guests who don't want to dance the night away, but the dance floor space is ample if everyone does, the bathrooms are clean and more than enough for large weddings, you can play a cute slideshow in the museum's theatre, and you have amazing views of the harbor and Domino Sugar sign. Could not have asked for more!

I recently had my reception at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. It was a Saturday evening in June and we were blessed with perfect weather. We had our cocktail hour out on the terrace overlooking the Baltimore Harbor and City Skyline. However, in case of bad weather this venue is also a great choice because it would have been just as beautiful inside as there are so many interesting pieces of history to look at inside the museum. This was important to me as I didn't want to have to worry about the weather the day of and totally change the plan for the day. I can't wait to get my pictures back from the photographer because there are so many great opportunities for photo ops including the theater, large airplane hanging from the ceiling, or the different galleries within the venue. I would highly recommend this venue as my wedding day went off without a glitch. The staff at the museum was extremely accommodating and answered all of my questions timely throughout the planning process. I wouldn't have changed a thing and would recommend this venue to any bride!

The BMI is such a unique and amazing wedding venue! My husband and I set-up an appointment with BMI on a whim when we were searching for wedding venues. As soon as we met with Claire and she showed us around, we knew that we had to lock-in a date! Claire and Kelley are absolutely amazing to work with. They are both super responsive and extremely accommodating. We loved that we could have both our ceremony and reception at the same location. It was really windy and drizzly on the evening of our wedding, so we ended up moving our ceremony inside. We still had amazing views of the harbor through the windows, and were able to sneak outside for a few photos on the dock during a break in the weather. Our guests loved that they could explore the museum during our cocktail hour and reception, and kept commenting on how unique the venue was. Highly recommend!

We loved having our wedding at the BMI! It was great for our guests, there is plenty of free parking, right on the water and they can tour the museum while they wait for you to finish your photos. It is also great for taking pictures on the inner harbor. Angie was so nice and opened up the pier for us so that we could get a shot with the city skyline in the background. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend them for other weddings or events.

Claire Mullins and Kelly were so accommodating and professional!! I was concerned that the venue wouldn't be "formal" enough for a wedding, and booked because someone had cancelled on Memorial Day Saturday and I got a discounted rate. I am an older bride, have been married before and didn't have a wedding the 1st time around. I wanted to keep the overall costs down so I did a lot myself. The venue has so much history and the decor is very vibrant and eclectic. When my caterer (Zeffert & Gold; they were also phenomenal!!) set everything up, the room far exceeded my expectations. It was so beautiful and elegant, there was plenty of room for the dance floor area and everyone had so much fun!! Everyone keeps calling to tell me how nice it was, and several people have already said it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to!

The BMI is a great place to hold a wedding or any other events. Everyone commented on the uniqueness and all the decor in the museum. It needed very little decor with how much it already has. Everyone at the BMI was super helpful, friendly, nice, fun, and absolutely amazing to work with. They were very quick to answer any emails we had. I would highly recommend the BMI!

My partner and I got married here on 01/07/2017 and we cannot say enough positive things about our experience with the BMI and staff. If you are looking for a extremely special place with a great view of the Baltimore Harbor, domino's sugar sign, etc... to host a special event you cannot go wrong with the BMI! They will walk you through the entire planning process and there to help along the way if needed. All of our guests are STILL raving about how cool and different the museum is! I heard from a bunch of different guests who are native to MD that they had never even heard of the BMI! This place is definitely one of Baltimore hidden gems. We would like to thank Claire, Kelley, Angie (big kudos to her for putting up with our group that night!) and the whole team at the BMI for being so fantastic and making our special day one that will NEVER be forgotten by us, or any of our guest. We will forever be grateful!

My husband and I got married on 12/30/16. This venue was absolutely perfect and stunning. Kelley and Angie made this day for us, since the first consultant meeting. They were flexible, professional and just easy to work with. My guests are still talking about the venue and every little piece of history. Thank you guys again!

The obvious facts about Baltimore Museum of Industry are that it is a very interesting venue and location, location, location! On the water! Free parking in the city! To be honest I do have to say that I thought the price was towards the steep side but the venue is just incredible, so we went ahead and booked out date! And even more incredible than the venue itself, are the event managers - Kelley and Claire! They both could not have been more kind, accommodating, patient, and friendly! Kelley and Claire's help was invaluable - they made planning my big a complete breeze. Kelley and Claire have worked with so many different vendors (caterers, DJs, photographers) and were able to help make recommendations based on our interests and needs. My new hubby and I were not disappointed with their gorgeous venue, professionalism, or recommendations! After all is said and done, this venue and these ladies are worth every. single. penny. You will not be disappointed!!

We had our ceremony & reception at BMI and our guests absolutely loved it! They have such a beautiful view of downtown Baltimore from their waterfront and it made for amazing pictures. We were able to fit 150 guests on the patio just outside the museum and our guests had plenty of room inside with 8-10 guests per table. The set-up was great, they have a person from the musuem that will be on hand that night for any questions or issues that may come up (none did!), and during the planning process the staff is so easy to work with and open to most suggestions for your day. I really couldn't recommend BMI enough to any couple looking to get married in downtown Baltimore!!

If you are looking for a beautiful and unique venue with some of the most warm and accomodating staff I've ever met with, look no further. We had a weather challenge (three feet of snow within 12 hours) that prevented us from having our party as scheduled. The BMI was SO ACCOMODATING, allowing us to have a quick ceremony with the blizzard bearing down and then reschedule for the fall. Cannot say enoigh about how amazingly we were treated.

The venue speaks for itself - perfect location right on the harbor with fun and interesting decor that doesn't require any extra work. However, it's the staff that made our wedding at BMI so memorable. Wedding planning is known for being a stressful time with a million little details to take care of, but the staff were so easygoing yet helpful and efficient that we didn't have a single worry. We went with Zeffert and Gold catering, which has worked at the venue for years, so there were no planning headaches or logistical difficulties with which we had to grapple. It feels superfluous to give this place a positive review as it's obviously a wonderful choice, but due to the great service and wonderful evening we had, we want to make sure everyone knows about it.

BMI was an amazing venue for our wedding! We had originally wanted the ceremony to take place outdoors but due to the weather we had to move it inside last minute and it was still perfect. The back wall is all glass and looks out onto the same harbor view as if we had it outdoors. It was so great and air conditioned! Throughout the entire process the BMI staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating and professional. They were a pleasure to work with and truly made our day special. Even 2 weeks since our wedding I'm still recommending BMI to other friends getting married. It is really the BEST spot in Baltimore for any wedding.

The Baltimore Museum of Industry is the BEST wedding venue in Baltimore! We were so happy to have chosen it for our wedding reception. The BMI is an incredible value, and provides such a unique backdrop for a wedding. Claire, Kelley, and Angie were all great to work with during the planning process and during the actual event. The museum interior is so cool, and our guests loved exploring and checking out various exhibits. I felt that we didn't have to put too much thought (or money) into decor aside from flowers, because it is built-in! The location on the water can't be beat. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather, so we had our cocktail hour on the terrace overlooking the harbor, and our guests were able to go in and out all night long. We haven't yet received our professional wedding pictures, but the BMI provides so many amazing options for photos! We had a blast posing for them with our bridal party. We received many compliments from our guests about the venue, and it was a huge factor in making our reception so perfect!

When my husband and I began wedding planning we had a few must haves. We wanted a stellar view of the inner harbor, a space that could accommodate both ceremony and reception, so guests wouldn't have to drive, an outdoor ceremony if the weather was good enough, and a reception space that wasn't your typical, cookie cutter, wedding hall.
We found all of that with The Baltimore Museum of Industry and more.
The outdoor space was perfect for our ceremony. Easily accomodating our 100 guests and giving them the perfect harbor view.
The museum was absolutely amazing. Because it's already "decorated" with so many exhibits and pieces of history, we didn't have to do any decorating outside of our center pieces which was awesome! The hall was huge and gave us multiple options for seating and dancing.
We ended up keeping the space next to the wall of windows open for dancing, so we could dance before the silhouette of the Baltimore skyline, and we sat our tables between the dance floor and the exhibits.
Claire from BMI was our contact and helped us with everything. Promptly responding to emails and letting us know every time there was a new addition to the museum.
Our guests haven't stopped talking about our venue, my husband and I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. All in all, BMI is a beautiful and fantastic place and I highly suggest it to anyone looking for something classy, convenient, fun and memorable.
You cannot get more Baltimore than The Baltimore Museum of Industry.

I had a pretty serious dream list of qualities in a location: great indoor/outdoor space, that’s easily accessible with parking, with a seriously interesting or cool history/twist. I had all but given up on my search, especially in Downtown Baltimore, when I remembered: Museum! The Baltimore Museum of Industry hit all of my wishes and more! The Decker Gallery gave my guests plenty of room, plenty to see, optional galleries we could open, GORGEOUS WATERFRONT outdoor Ceremony Space, a huge private parking lot, and an incredibly warm, friendly, helpful staff that ensured my husband and I had all of our questions and needs taken care of. This is an amazing location, that’s very close to all of the Inner Harbor Hotels. With our short planning window, I was delighted that they use an online booking Calendar that potential clients can use to see when the Museum is available to rent! We worked mostly with Kelley through out the process, who eased my mind immediately with our deposit and booking, and was ready to answer all of our questions. It should also be noted that there is a Preferred Caterer list Clients have to use, but there's quite a few Vendors to pick from so you’re not stuck committing to one price range. All of their rental information and contracts were easy to follow, and answered a lot of questions upfront about hosting your event. Guests absolutely loved this venue and we had compliments about how “us” it was the entirely evening. The BMI and Absolutely Perfect Catering were our dream team, and we cannot recommend them enough. The Museum of Industry treated us like VIP through the entire process and after! Our only suggestion to potential renters is to book the extra time! 4 Hours fly by.
