Overall incredible experience, the food was amazing, the service was amazing, and the venue was perfect for our wedding of about 140 people. Stephanie is super nice and does day of...
coordinating, and she is super helpful in managing her own staff. We had our own officiant who coordinated most of the ceremony, which we held on the venue’s back patio. We would definitely recommend having your wedding here, everything came under 50k, and people must have assumed we spent double that, we had a raw bar with crabs, oysters, and shrimp, all you can drink, and the venue pays for a band or dj. It was an incredible experience in an incredible location.
We had our wedding reception at Blackwall Hitch, including a cocktail hour and dinner for about 60 people, and had a great experience. We were able to select a package with several...
options for our guests, and we appreciated that guests were able to order at the reception so we didn’t have to track meal selections. Everything was smooth and efficient, and the food was great. The event manager, Stephanie, was super responsive and accommodating. The location is great and we were able to slip out for photos by the water before our first dance. Definitely recommend.
This was the perfect location for our rehearsal dinner reception the night before our wedding at the Torpedo Factory. We very much enjoyed working with Selma. She helped us find ...
a wheelchair/handicap accessible space in the restaurant (which is very hard to find in Old Town) that could still accommodate all of our guests comfortably. Her team (Omar, Brianna, and Antonio) executed our heavy hors d'oeuvres/open bar concept perfectly. We would highly recommend Blackwall Hitch!
