Hippodrome Theatre at The France-Merrick Performing Arts Center

Any couple who has a wedding here will have the wedding of their dreams! The Hippodrome is a breathtaking site. The staff was professional, friendly, caring, and amazing to work with. By the end of my wedding I considered many of them my friends! The staff planned the wedding from the beginning and did an awesome job. Every detail was perfect and the wedding ran so smoothly. The pictures are stunning! I feel privilaged to have had my wedding there! Love, Shannon And Kevin CarlsonWedding In A Week Couple from Fox 45 Baltimore News

The hippodrome was an amazing venue for our ceremony and reception. We had our ceremony on the stage, cocktail hour in the lobby and reception in the M&T bank pavilion. They went above and beyond to make the day special and made sure that every small detail was perfect

The Hippodrome/M&T Bank Pavilion - Everything was perfect! We used on of the lobbies for our cocktail hour, the pavilion for the reception and we had the board room for a private cocktail hour for the bridal party. There was another event at the theater that night, but there were no problems keeping the two things separate. They did a wonderful job!Spectrum - Spectrum is the Hippodrome's in-house caterer. They are a national catering company, and we had heard really good things about them. We had a coordinator, Kristen, who was in regular contact with us. We were able to set our own menu and the chef really worked with us to do exactly what we wanted, even taking things we liked from two different dishes to create our own dish. And Kristen was amazing. She added little details that we didn't think about, but really added a polish to everything. Our guests raved about the food and many said it was the only wedding meal they ever really enjoyed.

The M & T Bank Pavillion is the perfect place for a reception. Everyone that works at the Hippodrome, especially Katie and Becky, and for Spectrum Catering, especially John, is so helpful and accomodating. They really want you to have a perfect wedding. All the bells and whistles are there (uplighting, gobos) and you can have your name on the marquee! The food was amazing- nothing but raves from all of my guests. And they are extremely flexible with what your meal can be...we decided on a three-couse meal with wine pairings, but another couple I know had hot dogs! Highly, highly recommended!!
