Whitehall Reviews

Whitehall Annapolis is a unique event venue offering many options for your wedding. Right on the water, this is a gorgeous location to gather with family and friends for a wedding or other celebration. It's also owned by a non-profit organization which makes me love it even more!

We absolutely loved Whitehall - the view on the water and all of the openness - of the lawn and also the view over the water- is unparalleled. The mansion is quaint and historic which was fun to go past (we didn't do the open to walk through). My husband used the cabin we had included in the package as where he and his groomsmen got ready, which was perfect. It didn't hurt that we had absolutely perfect weather! Honestly, this was the wedding of my dreams and many people were saying one of the best they've been to. I'm so glad we chose Whitehall.

From the minute my husband & I stepped on the Whitehall estate, we knew it was the perfect location to host our sequel wedding ceremony. We wanted to embrace Maryland's gorgeous coastline, and achieve an elevated but approachable vibe. From the historic home to the stunning views, Whitehall delivered. Eddie was wonderful to work with, and the big day ran smoothly even through some unexpected weather challenges. I cannot recommend Whitehall enough!

Whitehall was the most amazing wedding venue! We fell in love instantly with the gorgeous house, amazing waterfront views and close proximity to downtown Annapolis. We got so many compliments from our friends and family about how stunning Whitehall was. IMPACT Collective was also so helpful throughout the entire process and made the planning process seamless!

My fiance now wife had a vision, Whitehall allowed her vision to come to life. The venue has several acres to have the day you've always wanted. From friends and family telling us post wedding "how did you find this venue? This venue is awesome" nothing feels better to know your guests and you both had an amazing day. Definitely would recommend this venue if you want a beautiful, unique, and customizable experience!

We have had the pleasure of working on a handful of weddings at Whitehall and let's just say the property did not disappoint. Whitehall is such a charming venue, just outside the heart of Annapolis, that truly embodies the beauty of Maryland. With stunning views of the water, acres of land, and the mansion in the background, Whitehall provides couples with a venue that can be turned into the wedding of their dreams. The design options at Whitehall are endless! We highly recommend Whitehall to any couple looking to get married.

Whitehall was a fantastic venue for our Indian wedding weekend. We did a welcome party on Friday night and then our wedding ceremony/reception on Saturday, and the ability to use it for multiple events was a great perk! Obviously there are a lot of variables when it comes to an all-outdoor wedding, but the Impact team was terrific in helping us navigate everything. John at Whitehall was also extremely helpful, helping us with set up and even shuttling some of our older guests around on his golf cart. We're so glad we chose to have our wedding weekend at his gorgeous venue!

Whitehall is such a beautiful venue. The event felt magical! There's a gorgeous historical mansion, a waterfront and the entire venue is HUGE!
IMPACT Collective manages Whitehall and they were very professional and made sure we have everything we needed. They helped make the event planning smooth and enjoyable!
I wish I could have another wedding just so I can do this whole process over again haha maybe an anniversary?

As soon as I took the virtual tour for Whitehall I told my (then) fiancé that if we booked an on-site tour there was no chance I wouldn’t want to (have to?!) get married here. The venue did not disappoint and I still remember not being able to stop smiling the first time we walked the grounds. Whitehall was truly a dream wedding venue and I wouldn’t have changed anything about our experience if I did it all over again! The site is beautiful and the grounds are so large that there’s so many options to choose from for how you envision everything taking place. The staff and the grounds crew were all so great and accommodating as well and every part of the day was special in its own way. This venue is amazing for larger our of town weddings and it’s a great way for people who have never been to Annapolis to experience the true crab cakes and football experience!

Whitehall is an absolutely amazing place to have your wedding! My husband and I held our ceremony and reception at Whitehall in May 2021 and everything about it was perfect. We wanted our guests to experience all of the beauty Whitehall has to offer so we decided to hold our ceremony in the front of the manor house, our cocktail hour in the back middle lawn facing the water and our reception under a beautiful sailcloth tent to the left of our cocktail hour. We hired Cristina Calvert as our wedding planner. She has done multiple weddings at Whitehall so she already knew the ins and outs which made wedding planning a breeze for us. She truly made our wedding dreams come true! I can’t recommend Whitehall and Cristina enough!

I wanted to plan the most amazing engagement proposal so I called event/proposal planners, limo companies, flower shops... I wasn’t getting the help or guidance I needed. Being from CT, I didn’t know the DC area and needed to find someone who could help me plan. I ended up calling Monumental Helicopters and a pilot there named Seth told me to call Christie who is the event planner at Whitehall. I looked up White Hall on google and fell in love with the idea of doing our proposal there. I called Christie on a Saturday and told her my plan and that I wanted to do it on Tuesday with only 3 days notice! She jumped right on board and helped me plan the entire event. She lined up a photographer, flower shop, and helped me plan the logistics (which was a very complicated scenario as it was a surprise for my fiancé and the airport was over an hour away). Again all with 3 days notice! Christie was a saint and made our dream proposal come true! We had a limo pick Amanda up at Reagan, drove her up to an airfield in College Park where Seth picked her up on the helicopter and flew her into White Hall Manor in Annapolis where I was waiting. It went without a hitch and made for an epic proposal! Thank you Christie for going above and beyond to help me plan this very special day!!

As a "luxury wedding" Wedding Planner, I am much more critical to venues and vendors than a bride, so it really takes a lot to make me say, "I highly recommend them!"....and I HIGHLY recommend Whitehall! Christy, the venue coordinator (and wonder woman if you ask me) is SO amazing to work with, as is the groundskeeper (and super man if you ask me), John. They made sure every need that my client and I had for the property was perfected and were there for any questions, help, you name it the entire planning process and week of the wedding. The location is nothing short of stunning and it really has it all: amazing entrance, aisle of trees, acres upon acres of a waterfront Annapolis property, unbelievable views, more history than you can imagine, a gorgeous mansion as a backdrop, charming architecture and structures around the property to oogle at, magnolia trees (need I say more about them..) , "church" bell to ring at the ceremony, and more! I was contacted by the venue to come to a look and then recommended it to client of mine and it was such an amazing experience with them, I could on and on!

Our daughter was married at Whitehall in June. It was wonderful. Christie, who represents Whitehall and works with the bride, and John, the caretaker of Whitehall, were both wonderful, cheerful, helpful, quick to respond, and worked well with our family as a team. Ours happened to be the first wedding at Whitehall since the venue was being offered to the public. Needless to say, we all had some learning curve moments and each time, they jumped right in to answer any question and we enjoyed a lovely, seamless wedding that is now a joyful family memory. We are so thrilled that we picked Whitehall. It is such a lovely place to have a wedding, reception or any special occasion.

I've had the opportunity to work as a planner at Whitehall on multiple occasions, and always look forward to the opportunity to produce another wedding on their beautiful grounds. The views are unmatchable in the Annapolis area, and the staff is just amazing to work with. The grounds are so vast, there are endless opportunities for design and location of event. Highly recommend and look forward to our next opportunity there!

My husband and I were finally able to celebrate our wedding in June 2021 after two Covid postponements. We wanted a large outdoor space for Covid safety reasons. We had a fantastic experience with Whitehall and our wedding was beautiful. The grounds are stunning and the house is lovely. There was tons of space to work with and the staff allowed us to customize the space to make our day unique to us. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in 4 different spots on the grounds. The owners/staff are helpful and always available to their couples. I would highly recommend Whitehall to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding. 10/10

My wife and I had our dream wedding at Whitehall! It is an absolutely beautiful, spacious, completely outdoor wedding venue with room for all of the activities. We hosted our welcome party, ceremony, AND reception on the property each in a different space and each as beautiful as the last. We also stayed in the cottage on property in the days leading up to the wedding, adding to the full experience. Needless to say, we were fully immersed in Whitehall during our wedding week and were all the better for it. We only had 1 hiccup during the whole experience which was a plumbing issue in the main house where my bridal party was getting ready, but other than that everything was seamless.

Would definitely recommend Whitehall as a top-choice wedding venue!

Whitehall is an excellent venue. It has plenty of space for large gatherings, but won't overwhelm smaller parties either. It's scenic views on the water are one of a kind, and we had more than a few guests tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever attended. Whitehall only does 15 weddings per year, so you're not going to be competing with other parties having their nuptials on the same weekend; you'll have plenty of time to get your venders set up the week before.

Pros:
Beautiful and spacious outdoor venue
Well-kept and manicured grounds
Historic property and buildings
Detail-oriented staff
COVID friendly

Cons:
Not walking distance from accommodations; guests will have to bus in
Ease of access issues for people who have trouble walking
Does not include essentials such as kitchen, bathrooms, tent, or ground cover
Expensive price considering you're only paying for the grounds
