A standout among the incredible staff was Megan Ritter, an absolute gem who played a pivotal role in making our wedding extraordinary. Megan's professionalism and impeccable organizational skills were evident from the beginning. She not only answered our countless emails promptly but did so with a level of enthusiasm and expertise that surpassed all expectations.

The attention to detail in the decor, the delectable offerings during the cocktail hour and reception, and the overall ambiance created an enchanting atmosphere that left our guests in awe.

Our day-after brunch was equally delightful, offering a perfect conclusion to our wedding festivities. The venue's commitment to excellence extended to every aspect of our celebration, leaving us with nothing but gratitude and fond memories.

In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple seeking a magical and stress-free wedding experience.

Beautiful Day!

If there was one person who I had to work with for over a year to plan my daughter’s wedding, it wouldn’t have been anyone but Megan Ritter! From the very beginning she was pleasant, friendly and helpful.

Lindsey and Liam’s wedding was everything and more, it was beautiful from start to finish. I couldn’t have imagined navigating the planning process without Megan’s guidance and patience. Her flexibility and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of was greatly appreciated. The wedding wouldn't have been such a success without all her help.

It went amazingly well, and I cannot express how appreciative I am of everything that Megan and her team did to make it an incredibly special day.

Megan is a master at her craft and the industry. Graduate Annapolis is so lucky to have her.

Couldn’t have asked for better

Megan and the crew at The Graduate are pros when it comes to coordinating and executing weddings. From the time leading up to the day helping us plan every detail to the day of our wedding seamlessly coordinating the front and back of the house. They were absolutely perfect. This is coming from a client who has 13 years experience in the restaurant/wedding catering industry and I can say with 100% confidence that they delivered on every front. The food was fantastic, the service was superb, and the catering staff might be the most efficient crew I have ever seen.
