I loved having my wedding at the Lord Baltimore in November 2019. The Grand Calvert Ballroom was absolutely gorgeous with tall ceilings, chandeliers, and very comfortably held our 220 guests for the ceremony and reception. The room was set up exactly as I had envisioned it and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Cindy was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She was easy to stay in touch with throughout the year as questions came up and we finalized wedding plans. We had brunch the following morning in the Versailles room which was a great space to hang out and have great brunch. The hotel bar downstairs had great food for an after party once the reception was over. Guest hotel rooms were modern, clean and very reasonably priced, all of our out of town guests stayed at the hotel which was really convenient. I would highly recommend this wedding space to couples looking for an elegant venue for their wedding.

Both of the main ballrooms are absolutely gorgeous— for ceremony and/or reception. We also loved the vintage feel in so many parts of the lobby. Cindy was incredibly easy to work with. We ended up postponing our wedding because of the pandemic, but the process while working with Cindy was what anyone could hope for when planning a wedding.

A historic wedding venue in the heart of downtown Baltimore, Maryland, the Lord Baltimore Hotel features a rich history that dates back to 1928. In 2014, the hotel was restored to its original glory. Visitors enjoy our refined style that blends historic details and modern comfort. Hosting your wedding in this elegant setting, amidst plenty of fun things to see and explore, will ensure that you and your loved ones experience a memorable occasion. Facilities and Capacity The Lord Baltimore Hotel features 23 stories that are filled with gorgeous architectural details across the exterior. From the first moment one steps inside the lobby, they will also be amazed at the luxurious and exquisite touches, ranging from the grand piano to the contemporary artworks. For ceremonies and receptions, couples will have over 20,000 square feet of space to choose from. The hotel can accommodate intimate wedding parties as well as much larger ones of up to 450 guests. Calvert Ballroom is an opulent setting for a grand ceremony and reception featuring original Baccarat crystal chandeliers. The wrap-around balcony is part of the event space and a unique addition for you and your guests. Our smaller, Versailles Ballroom is another option for your ceremony or small wedding reception of up to 125 guests; this room features eye-catching chandeliers and artisanal touches.

Our wedding at Lord Baltimore was truly memorable! Lord Baltimore is a beautiful venue for all aspects of a wedding experience. Colorful and beautiful Versailles Room provides an...

elegant and picturesque setting for a wedding vow ceremony. The balcony is an enclosed, open wrap around space for cocktail hour. The ballroom is majestic with high ceilings, chandeliers and historical architectural design that requires very little additional decoration to transform the place for a wedding. Our food was delicious, the staff was attentive and Cindy, the events manager, was always calm, assuring, highly experienced, detail oriented and totally awesome. Our only wish was a finer sleeping accommodation for the wedding party--our room ("suite") was nothing more that a very plain room. Thank you so much, Lord Baltimore. Rebkha & David

The Lord Baltimore is the perfect historically modern hotel to get married in. The newly renovated spaces with a modern color scheme amongst intricate ceilings and beautiful gold t...

rimmings were amazing. The Grand Calvert Ballroom can hold over 400 people but with my 120 person wedding we were able to close the side rooms and create a spacious but intimate feel. I was a little nervous about having to flip the ballroom from the ceremony set up to the reception set up but it was done without a hitch in ample time. The hotel rooms were spacious and clean, they kept with the modern color scheme which was very nice. My room in particular which I believe was north facing was a bit dark but we brought an extra lamp from another room and managed just fine. The manager Lee was a pleasure to work with and when we had a mix up with the parking situation he was quick to investigate it. Kelly in reservations was also very nice to work with, when my guests had issues booking their rooms she was more than happy to speak with them personally to get their room booked. I will say the hotel’s online booking is a bit confusing and when you call their phone number it goes to an outside booking service that is not on the property. The valet and front desk staff was friendly and very accommodating. My husband and I were able to load some of our items into the ballroom the Thursday before the wedding and the security officers were very helpful in opening the loading dock area and allowing us to park without any hassle. Overall we had a great experience at the Lord Baltimore Hotel.
