Awarded Best of Zola
We planned our wedding in less than 4 months, and Milton Ridge was an amazing choice. Meaghan was so understanding and always answered all of our questions in a timely manner. She coordinated so many things (some we may not even know about) which took a lot of pressure off of us as the couple! We loved how easy it was to do so many things in house (ceremony, reception, catering, DJ, etc.). The food was INCREDIBLE. I cannot tell you how many guests told us it was the best food they've had at a wedding reception! We were so grateful to find Milton Ridge and to work with them to put together our special day in such a short amount of time. :)

Chase Court 

5.0

Baltimore, MD
  • Up to 125 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Intimate. Authentic. Romantic. The simple elegance of traditional gothic architecture. The gardens! The convenience of your wedding ceremony and reception in the same place. Everything you could want for your wedding, with solid, experienced professional support from planning to last dance. There’s a woodsy, private garden for your ceremony, a great rain plan, and a stunning gothic great hall (which you'll especially love if you’re a Harry Potter fan)! for your reception. Your guests can be indoor and outdoors, as they like, enjoying the party! Chase Court comfortably and realistically accommodates a maximum of 125 guests seated for dinner or 150 guests served cocktail-style. We’re equally good at very small weddings (see "Elopements," below). No matter the size of your wedding, you’ll get experienced, professional support from our first contact, right on through your wedding.

We used chase court for a small ceremony of 30 people. It was so easy to work with David to get everything set up. It was beautiful and so easy on our end. David took care of everything for an incredibly reasonable price.

Hotel Indigo Baltimore 

5.0

Baltimore, MD
  • Up to 64 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $4,000

The cultural heart of Baltimore beats loudly at Hotel Indigo® Baltimore Downtown. Our neighborhood is a hub of Charm City history and arts, and our upscale boutique hotel reflects the area's vibrancy with every detail. While there are many things to do in Baltimore, there are also a great number of discoveries to make right here in our hotel. Relax with a book (by hometown author Edgar Allan Poe, perhaps) from our hotel library, and sleep under a literary-themed mural in your guest room. Sip on some of the best craft cocktails in our hotel restaurant, Poets Modern Cocktails & Eats. Sample the honey produced at the hotel by our three honey bee colonies, which can be viewed from our fourth-floor guest rooms. And visit with our canine greeter, Xander, a Blue Brindle Cane Corso who invites you and your own pups to stay at our pet-friendly hotel, enjoy dog treats, and play at the nearby Howard Park Dog Park.

Hotel Indigo Baltimore was the perfect venue for our wedding day. The caring and attentive staff, led by Shayla and Diamond, made us feel comfortable every step of the planning process, even as we made multiple changes to arrangements. Communication was always timely and thoughtful. The recently updated, clean, and spacious rooms provided a wonderful home base for us and our guests to relax in. The restaurant and library onsite were perfect spots to lounge with our guests as well. From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to ensure our special day felt cared for. We highly recommend Hotel Indigo Baltimore for couples looking for a flexible, accommodating venue with caring, responsive planners dedicated to making your wedding day special.

Westminster Hall and Burying Ground 

4.5

Baltimore, MD
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $3,000

People travel far and wide to visit historic Westminster Hall, the Burying Grounds and Catacombs. Guests have the opportunity to explore one of Baltimore’s oldest cemeteries which contains tombs of prominent political, military and business leaders, and the grave of Edgar Allan Poe! Westminster Hall, formerly a Presbyterian church has a unique combination of early Gothic Revival appearances, mixed with today’s modern conveniences. The restored Gothic church has elegant stained glass windows, carved oak woodwork and an 1882 Johnson pipe organ. People appreciate Westminster's prime location at the corner of Fayette and Greene Streets in downtown Baltimore. Immediately adjacent are the University of Maryland Baltimore, University of Maryland Medical Center, Maryland Bar Center, and Baltimore VA Medical Center. Within walking distance are Oriole Park, M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the Convention Center, and major hotels, retailers and businesses.

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.
