About this venue

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.
