Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

Make your wedding a historic moment! Just as the history of the B&O Railroad has endured – reflected in the beauty and grandeur of the Museum’s locomotives, train cars, and buildings – so too will the cherished memories of your wedding day. As a setting that feels at once amply spacious and warmly intimate, the B&O Railroad Museum strikes a balance that few other venues can. Your guests will feel close but never crowded, and comfortable but never distant, as they come together to celebrate your love at the birthplace of American Railroading. So whether you’re sharing your first slice of cake in our historic Roundhouse or your first moonlit dance beneath our outdoor pavilion, the B&O is the perfect backdrop for the moments that matter most. The B&O Railroad Museum fully supports marriage equality, and we welcome all couples to spend their special day with us!

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.

We rented half the upstairs area in Blue Pit for our rehearsal dinner and I have a feeling it won't be the last time we reach out to Blue Pit for an event or catering. Cara, the owner, is wonderful and very accommodating. The space is cute and quirky and doesn't need much decoration for events. The food is DELICIOUS every single time we visit and this was no exception. Our bartender and main point of contact for the night was Brad, who was amazing every step of the way. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Blue Pit every time. You can't go wrong here.

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.

Overall, we loved our wedding here! We picked this venue in part because it’s so beautiful that the decor we would need to do would be minimal. We were right about that, and there was even some decor provided by the venue in the form of trees with lights. The organ is absolutely beautiful. There is an inside area with a table that’s perfect for cards, seating charts, and a guest book. The layout with upper areas around the organ makes a nice configuration for guest seating. The biggest downside was the bridal getting ready suite is very small and there isn’t a separate area for the groom, so we got ready and took pictures at a nearby hotel. The grounds are also lovely and were great for first look pictures in the graveyard (which is permissible if done tastefully). You can pay an extra 100/hour for the guests to tour the catacombs under the church, which was a nice touch. My other complaint was the technical difficulties — we couldn’t get the microphone at the podium to work so we had to project, and the bass in the music using their auxiliary system kept going in and out. The grounds keeper kept an eye on things for us in terms of crowd control and lighting.

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.

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.
