    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.

    The UNIQUE location and exceptional experience

    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

    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!

    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!!

    Amazing wedding venue!!

    I am so happy that we chose the BMI for our wedding. It’s such a unique venue- our guests are still raving! On top of that, Kelley was spectacular to work with. She was so helpful and responsive from the very beginning, and helped to ensure both we and our guests had an unforgettable time.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    November wedding

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    We would 1000% recommend having their wedding reception at the BMI to our closest friends! The space is absolutely gorgeous, and you have access to practically the entire place when you book a wedding with them. Kelley was amazing to work with - she was friendly, knowledgeable, and able to work with us to make our dream wedding come true. Thank you!!

    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!

    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!
