When my wife and I were planning our wedding, our initial venue fell through quite suddenly. The folks at Westminster Hall we're immediately sympathetic, prepared, and accommodating, tailoring their already breathtaking space to the specific plans we had in place for an entirely different room. Kind and calm when planning had us most fried, they worked with us to create exactly what we wanted for the day. The history of the space, the ample room, the massive painted organ and surrounding graveyard make Westminster Hall an incredibly special place, operates by smart, responsive, and thoughtful staff.

The MCHC was the greatest place to have a wedding. We got married outside in the courtyard and had the reception in France Hall, which was a great multi-purpose/event room that was easy to use and adapt to our purposes. The staff was extremely friendly and they had an on-site coordinator/assistant there for the rehearsal and day of. When it looked like it might rain and we wouldn’t be able to use the courtyard, they offered to open up another part of the museum to our guests to compensate. They also had a decent amount of parking available to our guests, rare in the middle of Baltimore. Overall I loved having my wedding in such a special place

Awarded Best of Zola
We want to express our deepest gratitude to our wedding coordinator Olivia at The Belvedere and the whole team for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Everything came together so beautifully and it was truly the most special, magical night! Our ceremony space was absolutely stunning, and the cocktail hour and reception ran so smoothly. Everyone was raving about how gorgeous everything looked! We had so much fun doing our champagne tower, it felt so glamorous and joyful, such a highlight of the evening. When we walked into the reception space, I was completely blown away. It was the room of my dreams, every detail was perfect, from the lighting to the setup to the flow of the night. The food was absolutely incredible (people are still talking about it!), and everyone loved the drinks and service at the bar. The dance floor was nonstop energy and pure joy, it truly felt like the perfect celebration. The Belvedere team was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. From the planning stages to the big day, they were always there to answer our questions, offer guidance, and help us plan every detail. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and warmth made everything so much easier and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, they made sure everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. We highly recommend The Belvedere as a venue!
