Me and my husband loved this wedding venue. It is a beautiful hidden gem in Baltimore. This is a fairly new venue so you have to plan more compared to a more established venue that...
offer all-inclusive packages etc. Hopefully they will soon offer wedding/event package as time goes on but other than that they are very accommodating and kind.
Stunning historic vaudeville theatre built in 1914 attached to the Eutaw Saving Bank converted into a state of the art events center. This place has it ALL!
good!
WOW!!!!!! I don't even know where to start other than our wedding was a dream come true at the Hippodrome Theatre! Everyone was so easy to work with and were open to everything we ...
asked them to do! Our guests felt comfortable and so many guests have told us this was the best wedding they have every been to. My husband and I literally had the entire Theatre to ourselves the day of our wedding and me and my girls were able to get ready in the Star Dressing Room while my husband and his boys were in the VIP Lounge. The entire day and night we were both catered to in order to ensure that this was the day we both imagined. We were married on stage and had our reception which was just breath taking was on stage as well! We now feel like a part of the Hippodrome Family and we are just so happy we choose to get married and have our reception there!
