The moment my husband and I set foot at The Hummingbird Chateau, we knew it was the venue for us. After our initial tour, my husband (then fiancé) said, "is it weird to want to pick the first venue we look? Because this feels right." We had immediately fallen in love with its beauty, unique charm and the down to earth staff. Angela is a true fairy godmother! She brought our vision to life and made everything run so smoothly. The months before our wedding she was so helpful and responsive; no task was too difficult, no dream was impossible, she made it all happen! You can tell that Angela and her team truly love what they do. They put their heart and soul into making such a beautiful venue, and do whatever they can to help create the most perfect, stress free wedding day for their clients. Truly, our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more due to Angela and her staff's creativity and passion. I would highly recommend The Hummingbird Chateau to any and everyone. Thank you for making our day so special, and one we will never forget!

Chase Court 

5.0

Baltimore, MD
  • Up to 125 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,548

NOTE: Our pricing does not include catering from one of our approved caterers. • 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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Private area for the wedding party
  • Classic, vintage atmosphere
  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • On-site parking not available
  • Does not have a dance floor
If you value a clear plan, assurance of care, and a professional experience for your wedding (who doesn’t?!), trust me when I say you MUST have your wedding at Chase Court. Invaluable to an anxious bride and type-A personality, David’s expertise constantly put my mind at ease every step of the way. As soon as I arrived to the wedding, David had already handled placements of vendors and other miscellaneous details that he gathered over months of planning and listening to what we wanted for our day. The courtyard was so beautiful that my mind instantly melted into our ceremony and its magical setting. Our guests were so impressed and stunned at the gothic aesthetics of the ballroom as well. Looking back on photos, I know we couldn’t have picked a better place. To put it simply, this venue and David’s experience with wedding events of all types make it the ultimate package. A totally timeless, adaptable, romantic, and UNIQUE place to get married. We will forever remember how perfect our special day was, thanks to Chase Court!
