Amazing Venue, Well Worth the Price
This is the perfect venue if you're looking to hold your wedding in the city and curate a unique experience for your guests. Our only negative experience was difficulty getting through to event coordinators who also didn't show up for the final walk-through. I heavily recommend getting a coordinator if you host at BMI.
If you have your wedding reception at the BMI, we will also host your wedding ceremony at no additional charge. You have a choice of three locations for your ceremony; the indoor Alonso G. Decker Gallery, the outdoor Decker Terrace, and outside on the point.
The BMI will only host one event per evening.
Your rental includes setup and breakdown time in addition to the four hours allocated for your event. Setup can begin at 3:00 PM. The actual event may start at 6:00 PM or later. One hour of breakdown time is included in your rental fee. If breakdown exceeds one hour, you will be charged $200 for each additional hour.
General liability coverage is required for your event. You can get a one-day general liability insurance certificate, and name the Baltimore Museum of Industry as an additional insured, or obtain a rider to your homeowner’s or renter’s policy.
The BMI has designated handicapped parking spaces right next to a ramp that leads the front door of the museum. All bathrooms are wheelchair accessible.
The BMI has two restrooms that will adequately accommodate your guests.
It is easy to arrange a ride with a Taxi or Uber.
The BMI's parking lot has 150 parking spaces. Access to parking is included with your rental.
Charter buses and limos are welcome to bring guests to BMI events and park in a designated bus area. For safety reasons the Water Taxi is not permitted to dock at the BMI/Downtown Sailing Center.
The BMI is one mile from the Inner Harbor in downtown Baltimore City. There are many hotels to choose from close to the Inner Harbor.
All of your sound equipment and speakers must be rented or provided by your band or DJ.
Live bands and DJs are welcome. All amplified music must adhere to Baltimore City noise ordinances and must not disrupt the immediate neighborhood. Music played outdoors must end by 11:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 10:00pm SundayThursday.
The BMI's Communications Gallery is used as the “Ready Room".
Your rehearsal time is set for the day before your event from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

The BMI provides some tables and chairs with your rental. If you need more than what we have available you will need to rent them through your caterer. See more info about the BMI's tables and chairs here. You will need to rent your linens, silverware, and glassware through your caterer.
The liquor license for your event is handled by your caterer. Talk with your caterer about bringing your own alcohol.
Your caterer will assist you with choosing your ideal setup, but here is a floor plan to get you started.
An Event Supervisor will be on site throughout the event as a point of contact for the caterer and other vendors, and to handle any facilities-related issues that may arise. BMI staff will not assist with set up or clean up, and do not provide wedding planning or coordination services.
