WOW. Our wedding day was a dream and so much more because of the phenomenal Milton Ridge team. Absolutely every person at MR from the coordination team, photography team, catering, DJ, and beyond is so incredibly professional, caring, detail-oriented, and focused on making your day and you and your partner feel so truly special. We have a million compliments to give to this amazing staff. It felt like they were all celebrating with us! Meaghan and Moriana not only helped plan and coordinate our day beautifully, they were so excited for us all day and made sure we weren’t worried about anything, making sure to have everything ready for us, even strategically got our one guests safely an ambulance to the ER before the ceremony (and back before first dance!) and made sure every single moment of our day ran smoothly. Feldy and Mira made the best photographers we could have hoped for. They were adamant about getting us the shots we wanted and Mira was just priceless with her joy for the photos they were taking!! She and Feldy have us so excited to see our photos!!! Our DJ, Tyler was just wonderful, made our night with some great music and had our guests dancing all night long! One moment I will never forget is running to the office to get something an few hours before guests arrived and feeling caught up in my nerves, but then hearing the catering staff laughing with each other while preparing our food. It totally snapped me out of my nerves and brought me back to the moment, reminding me to enjoy it all. The food was insanely delicious by the way, so many compliments from guests too! Highly recommend the fajita buffet!! Hubby and I are still chowing down on the leftovers 2 days after our wedding! I also want to mention how happy it made us to see Moriana, Mira, and the girls and guys serving drinks dancing to the music, enjoying the night, while providing us with everything we could want and more!!! The ultimate professional wedding team is right here at Milton Ridge!! Can’t thank you all enough. We are so grateful we chose this venue, will be recommending it to all of our engaged friends, and will never stop talking about the day of our dreams that you all helped make possible.

The venue was excellent! It was so nice to work with FSK events. Before the dance, I was able to email with questions and ask for suggestions on how I could set things up for the band. They were very helpful and polite. It’s a beautiful space,- very convenient inside the Francis Scott Key Mall, and it was set up just as I’d ordered it. I will definitely use this venue, again.

From our first conversation with Mike and Audi at Frederick Social, we knew we had found the right venue for our wedding. They listened to every detail of what we needed and worked with us step by step to bring our vision to life, from finding the perfect spot for our processional and Chupah to accommodating our guests' dietary needs. They flipped the room quickly from ceremony to party, and had plenty of private space for our family. Even though we only booked a half-day, they closed the entire venue so we wouldn't feel rushed, and they gave us plenty of time to set up and tear down at our own pace. Mike and Audi helped us create a menu that worked for our vegetarian & gluten-free guests and welcomed us bringing outside food in for our kosher family members without hesitation. We were even able to tap into their sound system and manage the music ourselves. What really stood out was how they made us feel like family from day one, and they continue to greet us with the same warmth every time we walk through their doors. Frederick Social is the kind of venue that truly cares about making your day special and stress-free.

We had a beautiful wedding at Tenth Ward in October 2025, and we’re so glad we decided to host our wedding at their venue! Phil was our event lead and day-of-coordinator, and he truly made every step of the process as easy as possible. All team members were very responsive over email to any of our questions along the way, and we held two planning meetings ahead of the wedding where we coordinated day-of logistics. Phil and the team were excellent on the wedding day! They were communicative and willing to step in where needed to make sure that the day was effortless. They also took our loose decor instructions and made the ceremony space, cocktail hour, and reception look beautiful. We received so many compliments on the event, the space, and just how smoothly everything went. I honestly can’t recommend Tenth Ward enough!
