1840s Plaza

Loved, loved, loved having our reception at the 1840s plaza! We had our cocktail hour in the 3rd floor Carroll Salon, and our dinner in the fun City Lites room. It was the perfect fun room to party in after having a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony! Dianna and Stasia were fantastic to work with, helpful from day one up until the night of the wedding. We had a slight parking crisis when the city parking authority failed to bag the meters on S. Front street in time (which we had already paid for months in advance to reserve parking for some guests/vendors), and the 1840s plaza took care of it, even sending someone out to tell non-wedding guests to move their cars. All around a terrific venue.

Great staff, beautiful venue and a great price.

We had our ceremony and reception in "City Lites" or floor 2 of the Fava building. Amazing. We went with a Baltimore theme to capture the beauty of the room and not only was it amazing to see, but our guests said it was the coolest room they had ever seen. Stasia and Dianna are amazing and the staff at the Inn are truly awesome as well. I loved our venue and hope to return one day to celebrate some other special event :)

I got married in the Courtyard at the Carrollton Inn and then our reception was in the City Lites ballroom. We also stayed our wedding night in the Carrollton Inn. It was BEAUTIFUL. All of it. We were able to watch people arriving at the wedding from the suite, and our ceremony was so gorgeous, the site was so pretty. And our reception was so much fun! AHH. I know it's probably not for everyone but it's so cute and Baltimore-esque. We had 110 guests and it was perfect for the space, I think too much more would have been cramped FYI! Juan worked with my wedding planner and made everything go so smooth (plus saved me with a secret trip to the powder room hahaha). Many thanks!

The door of the 3rd and 4th floors are beautiful. I had my ceremony on the 3rd floor and the reception in the 4th floor (ballroom). The third floor is very scenic with beautiful backgrounds for the photography and the chandeliers on the 4th floor are stunning. The event coordinator, Juan, is awesome (the staff, in general is great) but this guy goes above and beyond. He anticipated my needs on my wedding day, which I greatly appreciate and will never forget. I've attended other events at this venue and was impressed even then. I am so thankful that my wedding was here. We are a unique wedding couple, in that we won the "wedding in a week" contest..so thank you 1840's Ballroom for making my wedding perfect.

We LOVED the staff at 1840s! We actually got married in the "City Lites" room instead of the ballroom. We loved the dramatic and fun feel of City Lites over the more formal feel of the ballroom (though it was GORGEOUS). We had our ceremony on the third floor. Stasia and Juan, one of her assistants, were amazing. From the moment we went to view the venue until the wedding day, nothing was too much trouble for them. My e-mails were always responded to within a day or so, and they did everything in their power to make us happy. Our wedding was amazing because of the wonderful location and wonderful people at 1840s! Our guests RAVED!

Great experience with all of the staff, especially Stacia and Sharon! Everything was magical, professional, and they guided us through the process with ease. City Lites was a very fun, unique location and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding! Thanks 1840's!

Fantastic venue and location! I researched several areas in Baltimore City that were NOT hotels and could accommodate almost 150 people. I love the outdoor garden area that we used for cocktail hour. The space was kept nice and flowers full in bloom:) The City Lites floor was eclectic and unique. The price was very reasonable and rental came with chairs and tables.BONUS! The managers of 1840s were very helpful and responsive to emails and phone calls. I would definitely recommend having your wedding there!

Our wedding was on 8/14/2010, our reception was held at the 1840's Ballroom in Baltimore MD. First, of all I had the ballroom on the 4th floor, a very good view of downtown Baltimore. Second, the Satff is amazing especially my Event Coordinator for the day Juan Chrisitian...he is awesome, amazing and outstanding. He is on point about every detail from our first inital meeting weeks before the wedding and the day of the wedding. I just don't know what to say about his professionalism, he attended to our every need, made sure that we were happy, even when there was a little mishap from the videograher( not having my montage cd), he made sure to take my mind off of it, just focus on the happiness of my life with my husband. He assisted with the photograher and giving us different venue ideas to take pictures on the site, Juan is awesome, he provided outstanding service. I can say on our wedding day we had the dream team, and I plan on using these vendors for the future. Again, thanks to 1840's Ballroom staff for everything especially to the best Event Coordinator Juan Christian.----MY DREAM TEAM:)

I held my wedding reception in the 1st Floor Cabaret Room. We loved the burgundy walls, the unique lighting, and the great bar. We had our ceremony in the courtyard outside of the Carrollton Inn. Stacia and Juan were fantastic to work with. They respond to phone calls and emails quickly, and they did everything perfectly to make my wedding day stress-free.

This is a fantastic venue!!!! Our guests could not stop complimenting how nice it was and how great of a location it was. I highly recommend the 1840s Ballroom and I wish I could do it all over again!

The 1840s Ballroom is the most beautiful place I have ever saw. Everyone was very professional, and the service was great.

We had our ceremony on the third floor and our reception on the fourth floor. Stasia and Juan were amazing! They helped us design and coordinate the day and were warm and welcoming to our guests. They worked with us from setting up the room to day-of-wedding troubleshooting. We couldn't have asked for better service and professionalism for our wedding. They made everything run smoothly and perfectly. Additionally, the 1840's Carrolton Inn is beautiful and a luxurious place to stay for the wedding party and a beautiful spot for wedding portraits. The only negative was that the lighting on the third floor compromised some of our pre-wedding portraits. We think that this could be remedied with additional lighting or multiple photographers.

We just had our wedding at the 1840s Ballroom in Baltimore and it was amazing! We had the ceremony on the 1st floor of the Fava building (initially we were to be outside in the courtyard, but due to risk of rain had an opportunity to look at the various floors of the fava building and fell in LOVE with the first floor). The first floor has an old fashioned feel with a large dark wood bar, great lighting, and a beautiful staircase. it was wonderful and, while the building itself was perfect for the ceremony and the 4th floor for the reception, the staff was stellar...thank you Stasia! We love Baltimore so this was a perfect place to get married and the staff made our time at the venue carefree...who can ask for more!

For our wedding, we rented the 1840s Ballroom for the ceremony only and their City Lights venues was used for our reception. While this was not typical, it proved to be a good selection for us. My husband and I were seeking some place different; we didn't want our wedding to look like anybody else's we knew. These venues delivered a wonderful amibance and impressed all our guests. The ballroom is absolutely stunning and tradional; however, there are unique details like the painted murals along the wall. The City Lights venue in contrast, was a former night club and converted museum, providing a swanky and relaxed atomosphere complete with a separate D-Jay booth, huge dance floor, bar and lounge area equipped with black leather couches and side tables. We set up one side of the room to seat our 150 guests with the tables and chivari chairs (included in the rental) and the other side with the lounge area was great for folks to mingle. Our photographer loved the photo opportunities these venues afforded, taking advantage of the urban location and beautiful architecture and design of the building. We continue to receive compliments from our guest and the pictures look amazing! Enough gloating about how great everything turned out for it would have all been in vain if not for the wonderful coordinators and staff at the 1840s ballroom. They were accomodating, responsive and professional. I forgot to mention the best part- there is a lovely bed and breakfast associated with the ballroom that offers a sweet discount on a room for any who rent the venue. All the rooms are georgous and plush and your stay includes a gourmet breakfast (delicious). I love the 1840s Ballrom, all the venues in the Fava Building are amazing and the location is perfect even for your out-of-town guests to find accomodations (most of ours stayed at the brand new Fairfield Marriott just across the street). Our wedding proved to be unforgettable and stunning due to this unique location...and all our wonderful vendors!

Our Reception was at the 1840's Ballroom (Cocktails in the courtyard, Dinner and Dancing in the upstairs Ballroom). Everything was great, Stasia was wonderful to work with, helpful and creative. This venue is absolutely beautiful, and flexible - we brought in our own liquor and chose the caterer ourselves! From the gorgeous wooden bar to the beautiful courtyard outside, this was a wonderful place for our reception!!

The 1840's Ballroom was an excellent place to have our Wedding Reception. The location was superb and everything about the ballroom was spectacular. From the dance floor to the beautiful wooden bar. We have absolutely no regrets from having acquired such a astounding venue!

This is a beautiful hall, which was perfect for our event. I would strongly recommend it to anyone.

Sasha was wonderful to work with. She was helpful, attentive and pleasant. I was able to get some of the center pieces and beverages in the day before and that relieved a lot of stress! There was staff available to let me in and help unload the items. Everything about the 1840's Ballroom was spectacular. Our reception was a blast and our caterers rave about being able to work there.

My husband and I chose to use the city lutes venue in the 1840sballroom building because of it's amazing character, location, and staff. Like most brides I visited multiple sites and couldn't have been more excited when I found this venue. It truly was the perfect venue to set the classy but fun environment we wanted. All of our guests had a great time and I appreciated all of the 1840sballroom staff's help.
