Celebrations at the Bay truly couldn’t have been a better venue for our wedding. From the beautiful venue, to the amazing food, it was a pleasure working with this venue.

The Barn of Nottingham was the most perfect wedding venue my husband and I could have chosen. Mallory was absolutely amazing and helped out so much throughout the process. Her and her team made the days leading up to and the day of the wedding so much easier. We chose to do the full weekend package and it was the best decision ever! We were able to treat the whole weekend as a little get away for my husband and I, along with our wedding parties. Having the venue the whole weekend made setting up decorations so much easier and less stressful. The venue, from the house, to outside, to inside the barn, was absolutely stunning. The rustic feel was exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. Being able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at one location was amazing. Having a space for both my husband and his groomsmen, along with my bridesmaids and I to get ready in the day of was perfect. My husband and I could not have picked a better venue to get married at. I 100% recommend the barn of Nottingham!

First of all, what a gorgeous venue! We had our wedding reception in the crystal ballroom and it was beautiful. The Eden staff worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everything went smoothly. I can’t say enough how helpful Megan Supeck was in our planning process. She was so communicative and transparent. She seemed as happy as we were about our wedding! From beginning to end, she went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed. We also enjoyed staying in the Paradise Suite the night of the wedding. They had a bottle of champagne read for us when we got to the room and complimentary breakfast the next morning. I was so stressed with wedding planning, but Megan and her team really put me at ease.

I knew from the moment we ended our tour that DCC was the venue for us! Terri greeted us at the tour and walked us through their newly renovated ballroom. My guests are still raving 2 months later about the venue and the high quality dinner and deserts. They REALLY loved the food. My church ceremony was 45 minutes away, so my willingness to travel that far between ceremony and reception is a testament to have amazing DCC is. I wanted a venue were I was confident I wouldn't be worrying about any thing on my special day and DCC provided that. I was able to use their table numbers, glass vases, and back ground arch wish saved me those additional expenses/decisions to make. Terri also offered us a card box, but I opted to use my own so I could add a lock even though the box was securely placed by the sweetheart table. Decision fatigue is so real but with Terri I never had any worries about my reception. I last minute decided to have Sean Reilly, who sounds just like Frank Sinatra, sing during cocktail hour. It was no problem for them to have a dedicated space for him and assist him in his set up. Their flexibility, understanding, and positivity was amazing. The venue is large with a lot of space! The cocktail area is large and the ballroom is beautiful. None of my guests had to wait for drinks since the bar staff was super efficient. It rained a lot on my wedding day, but Terri was super prepared and explained to me the adjustments she would make in the placing of the decor. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Terri and DCC and recommend it to anyone getting married! We had so much fun and are so grateful for Terri and her team!

Our sister found this place and did a virtual tour and from the very first moment we saw Lauxmont Farms, we knew this place was special, but what we experienced exceeded every expectation we had. The venue is undeniably breathtaking, but it’s the people who made it unforgettable. Every single staff member was warm, kind, and genuinely invested in our day. The decorator went above and beyond in ways I’ll never forget, hanging décor from the tent ceiling and making our vision come to life with such care. Our day-of coordinator, Ally, and our attendant, Brandon, were incredible. They were attentive, calm, thoughtful, and detail oriented in every possible way. From our first visit to our final moments on the property on our wedding day, we felt supported, cared for, and truly celebrated. Lauxmont didn’t just host our wedding, it gave us an experience we will cherish for a lifetime. If I could give more than five stars, I would. 1000/10.

Our experience with the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel for our wedding was a bit mixed but overall great. Their communication style was sometimes delayed and we ended up working with a few different coordinators, but they always answered our questions thoroughly. The front desk staff were not the friendliest but the bellmen were all exceptional! The space itself was beautiful, though there were other events going on that day which caused some overlap between the two. Our whole wedding party had to pass around a holiday party, and a few of those people ended up at the reception, but I guess wedding crashers can always be expected. A few of our guests had issues with their hotel rooms as well. The bridal suite had a stain and needed to change, and they were able to immediately. All that said, Catherine, our main point of contact, was incredibly helpful, insightful, and went above and beyond to make sure our special day went smoothly. She assisted with everything and helped the day go smoothly. We even had some hiccups due to the biggest winter storm of the decade, but Catherine and her team were able to help us and help our guests extend their reservations. Overall, the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel provided a lovely venue.

The communication with Springfield Country Club was prompt and clear throughout the entire wedding planning process! The space was timeless and classy, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. Milton was ready with blankets for the golf cart and always checking in with us in case we needed anything, and Nancy was always delightful and on top of everything that needed to be done. Our best man wasn’t able to attend due to deployment and the co-best man coordinated a video to play during the speech, the process day of was seamless and we are thankful he was able to say some words on our wedding day! We had such a great time working with Nancy and the entire Springfield Country Club team - the entire wedding was perfect!

We held our wedding reception at the B&O Railroad Museum and it was a perfect venue for our special day. Kathy, our main contact, was extremely responsive in answering all of our questions during the planning process. The museum was an air conditioned, spacious room that comfortably accommodated our 60 guests. We loved being able to take photos with the historic trains as a backdrop. The B&O staff, especially Kathy, ensured the room was properly set up, clean, and ready for our event. From start to finish, they made the experience nearly flawless. It was a beautiful, family-friendly atmosphere that lent itself well to celebration. I would highly recommend the B&O Railroad Museum as a unique and memorable wedding venue.

The Drexelbrook did an excellent job hosting our baby shower. Their buffet and dessert bar options were delicious and plentiful.They took good care of our guests who needed vegan, gluten-free options or a kid's meal.One of the highlights of our celebration was a "make your own bouquet" bar for guests. It was an option that Drexelbrook suggested, based on our shower theme. They worked with us to ensure that we could decorate and arrange the space to meet the needs of our event. There is plenty of free parking on site.

We are in AWE of RiverCrest!! I don't even know where to start with a review for them because they truly were perfect and above and beyond what we could have imagined. From the beginning, Michelle L. helped us on our wedding planning journey. She is extremely kind, honest, and talented. She helped us select all the major items (food, setup, etc) and all the way down to the little details (table linens, signs, etc). She always gave us her honest opinion and helped us make informed decisions for our wedding. It can be hard to navigate planning a wedding, but Michelle L. made is so seamless and truly effortless. We were able to do a food tasting and bring our parents. We were all blown away by not only the food, but the service. Everyone at RiverCrest is friendly and kind and that followed through on the wedding day as well. Leading up to the big day, Michelle L. was constantly in contact with us, making sure we had everything we needed. She does so much behind the scenes work and makes it look so effortless. On the wedding day, we were BLOWN AWAY with how organized and helpful the staff at RCGC was. They took care of us from the second we arrived to the second we left. From bringing us anything we needed in the bridal suite to setting everything up exactly as we wanted, they truly were a dream team. They were so seamless and organized when it came to the schedule throughout the day. We had no questions because they truly were ahead of everything. We worked with Angela later in the day and she was phenomenal!! She brought us food from our cocktail hour because we couldn't go and truly made sure we were taken care of the entire night. At the end of the night, the RCGC team had packed everything up for us and had it ready to load into our cars. They literally thought of EVERYTHING! Our guests still cannot stop talking about beautiful the day was and that is largely due to the RiverCrest staff. What an amazing team. We really can't thank them enough! If you are looking for a wedding venue with an incredible team, please book RiverCrest!!
