I worked with Stacy starting last summer to plan a December wedding. We were so lucky and thankful to snag the weekend of December 7th and thanks to her leadership and the amazing team at Acqua Al 2, we had the best wedding reception and planned it in just 5 months. I had so many questions during the planning process and had a pretty strong vision, and Stacy was SO patient, organized, thorough, creative, experienced and kind throughout the entire process. It all came together seamlessly after a lot of work. We had a pretty big party (160 people), live band, tons of dancing, and too much fun! I cannot recommend Acqua Al 2 enough if you are looking for a wedding space that is indoors. Our vendors (florist, planner, photographer) had a great experience working with the Acqua Al 2 team as well. They made everything so easy!! The exposed brick and historical charm make for the BEST backdrop for photos and helped create a beautiful yet laid-back and on-trend vibe. We got so many compliments from our guests about the entire night. The food was exceptional, drinks and bartenders were perfect, plus the location can't be beat being in the heart of Downtown Annapolis. I could go on and on, but just trust me and book this for your wedding!!
