We had our December 2021 wedding at Main Street Ballroom and we cannot recommend it enough! Kate and the entire MSB crew were amazing. The venue is gorgeous, its 16-hour rental period(!) is unheard of, and all the included chairs/tables/arches/...
easels saved us thousands! We are so thankful that we went with MSB.

We recently held our fall 2021 wedding at Main Street Ballroom. I am not even sure where to start because everything was so perfect. The Main Street staff was helpful, kind and very responsive whenever we needed anything. The venue was such a g...
reat value for the money spent and time we were allowed to use the space. It was by far the largest window of time (8am - midnight) out of any other area venues we looked at. The venue does not have many restrictions and there are no required vendors. This was also a huge plus for us as it allowed us the freedom to use the vendors we wanted to use. Leading up to the event, Rachel was VERY helpful with answering all of our questions and helping us make the best decisions for our big day. On the day of the event, the staff was helpful in setting up the ceremony chairs and doing other things around the venue as needed. The staff was polite and helpful and stayed out of the way when not needed. The onsite bridal and groom suit was also very nice in getting everyone settled for the day. If you are looking for a unique venue with an open canvas to customize to your style and personality while also wanting a friendly and helpful staff without breaking the budget and an all day rental (!!!), Main Street is the place to be!!

exible and communicative throughout the planning process. Because MSB is already so beautiful, we ended up saving a ton of money on décor. We also saved money by providing our own alcohol and caterer, rather than going through a venue approved caterer as many venues require. Everyone at our wedding remarked on the gorgeous setting and we loved getting ready in the bride’s and groom’s rooms! If you want to take first look photos, we recommend going to the Patapsco Female Institute, which is just around the corner.

rting palette for any design vision. The bridal suite and grooms room were perfect spaces for us to get ready in, and we could stay separate the way the venue is laid out. It was AWESOME to have the venue from 8AM to midnight. You are able to bring in any vendors you want which provides freedom and flexibility. The space can handle a lot of people, but make sure to think about your floor plan and dinner preference (buffet or formal). We fit 190 in the bar room for cocktail hour with the barn doors closed, but it was very tight. We had a formal seated dinner with that number in the main ballroom, with plenty of room for a dance floor. Communication with the venue managers is quick and consistent throughout your planning process and day of managers are very helpful and available to you the day of your event. A little more expensive compared to some others, but the full day window, flexibility of vendors, unique charm of the venue, and positive helpful staff make it 100 % worth it! Highly recommend this venue!

I don't even know where to start... We of course had no idea what we were doing getting into wedding planning, but we started with looking into a venue. Once we decided to go with MSB, they made the process as easy as possible. It is no joke ...
when they claim to take out some of the restrictions and general hassles when it comes to having a wedding. Getting into the venue at 8am and having the space until midnight (however we didn't need it that long) was wonderful. We did soo much ourselves and the thought of other venues having only 2 hours prior to the ceremony to set up just boggles my mind. The managers and coordinators were extremely helpful whenever we had questions about our day. We were also able to have the rehearsal at the venue the night before, which was incredibly helpful for planning! The space was gorgeous--urban, rustic, and industrial, so pretty with the stone walls and the bistro lights (which were there to use free of charge mind you!). We were able to make the space our own with hardly any restrictions. We had a lot of handmade/DIY things to hang and set up and when I was trying to figure out how to set them up, the manager for the day completely took care of it; his words, "don't worry we will find a way to do it and it will be done how you want it." HOLY music to my ears! It was also nice to have the bridal suite to use for getting ready with my bridesmaids! It's a beautiful space back there as well. The only issue we had, was we felt like communication could have been a little better as far as updates to the venue. However, we still had a fantastic experience and I could not recommend MSB enough to future couples. The venue is still new and MSB has done a lot of updating along the way to make the venue better and better, but we hadn't known there was an expansion on the venue until the planning was too far to budget for it--I believe we just weren't on the email chain. And there was a beautiful bar and a few other pieces of furniture that we did not know we were able to use. It worked out great because the bar was much prettier than the one we rented! However, if we even knew just one day for the wedding, we could have cancelled our rental and kept the money. Another thing to keep in mind is that the venue is somewhat bare and they don't provide trash service, so you need to pick a caterer that can help with that! Really, really loved this venue and I'm so happy my husband found it for us! BEST. DAY. EVER.

my perfect wedding. Since this is a newer venue, there were a few instances throughout my planning process where the venue’s standard/additional offerings changed, which caused a few headaches on my end where I had already reserved vendors. Overall though, I wouldn’t have a changed a thing and would highly recommend this venue.
