Guilford Hall Reviews

We had a wonderful experience having our wedding at Guilford. The space is so beautiful, and everyone had a great time! The courtyard area is great, and so is the upstairs room. Nicole and Brad and Rafael were all so helpful and attentive throught the entire process! Would definitely reccomend!

Guilford Hall was an amazing place to get married. From start to finish they were responsive, helpful, and worked with us to make our day more than what we hoped for. Nicole and Lindsey were so helpful coordinating everything leading up to the day, from advising us on vendors, and helping us understand what works/makes sense in the space. Ryan was willing to work with us to create the menu that fit what we wanted. Day of, we had Genesis as a coordinator, who couldn't have made our lives easier and kept us all on time. Special thanks to Jose who showed up mid dance party to make sure we were well hydrated. Everything leading up to the day was low stress and well organized. Could not recommend enough.

We 100/10 recommend Guilford for a wedding venue or any other event. It is a unique, gorgeous space, the staff is awesome yet professional, and the food and beers are amazing!

From a planning perspective, the event team (lead by Nicole) is incredible! They lay out the various options and packages to best fit your wedding vision. They are super flexible with the spaces you want to use, number of guests, food/apps options, etc. They reach out on tastings, floor plans, scheduling walk throughs, and help build a timeline. You truly do not need a wedding planner - the guilford team is all over the planning and execution of the event.

The food!!! Chef Ryan and the entire team went above and beyond. He attended our tasting, got our feedback, made tweaks, etc. Though there are standard packages, the team made several adjustments to fit our taste. Every guest we talked to complimented the food.

Lastly the space itself is so gorgeous. There are so many different spots to use. We had our ceremony in the courtyard, cocktail hour in the whisky room, reception in the event space upstairs, and after party back in the whisky room. Highly recommend extending your event with an after party at Guilford - your guests stick around. The bartenders also brought great energy!

It may seem like a “hidden gem” now, but it won’t be for long. Book it while there is availability!

Thanks again to the Guilford team if you’re reading this!

The MOST caring, professional, wonderful staff ever! Truly an unbelievable experience for my husband and I, as well as our family in friends, and in no small measure due to the phenomenal service. Everyone commented about how quickly the bar lines moved, how kind and considerate the service staff were - we were treated like family by the staff and it made all the difference to us as we had guests who had flown in from all over the world to be there. From day 1, working with Nicole was unlike any other vendor I worked with during the process. She's incredibly responsive, clear about all details and manages expectations to a T. I couldn't have been happier working with her and her team, and our wedding was a dream because of it. I can't imagine having had it anywhere else. Thank you so much for such an unforgettable day.

I cannot recommend Guilford Hall Brewery enough for a wedding venue. We are Baltimore City residents so having a local wedding was very important to us. As soon as we toured the venue we knew it was the perfect location. It is a hidden gem in the city with so much charm! After signing the contract, their staff was incredibly hands-on and very responsive. Nicole was amazing and helped me SO much throughout the wedding planning process. We loved the fact that everything was handled in house (catering, alcohol, chairs, tables, etc) and they also provide local vendors and small businesses for other needs such as transportation, florists, signage, and more. It was seriously the perfect day and I wish I could do it all over again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My husband and I were married this past Saturday at Guilford Hall and I couldn't wait any longer to write a raving review! From the very beginning, we knew this was the right choice. Communication with Nicole was prompt, thorough, and SO HELPFUL through the whole process (I am talking about 100+ emails back and forth!) She always answered our questions and always provided me with what we were looking for. I never once doubted that this was the right choice. When it came time to book our tasting, we were excited and truly didn't realize how amazing it would be. This was one of our favorite experiences during the planning process! The food was just as great on our wedding day, if not better!

We had high hopes for our ceremony and reception and the venue and staff exceeded our expectations. Genesis was our day of coordinator and an absolute gem! She ran such a tight ship in the most bubbly, positive way. I knew that if there was a problem, she would fix it before we even knew it was a problem. Every Guilford staff member who worked our wedding was BEYOND attentive, friendly, and professional. Everyone really made it so we didn't need to worry about a single thing and could just enjoy our night. By the end of the night, we felt like they were all part of our family.

When it came to the venue itself, we were in love immediately. This is a space you don't need "do much to" in order to make it beautiful--it already is! Our decor was very minimal and still filled the space perfectly. We received so many compliments on the beauty and character of the space. If you are looking for a space that requires minimal decor, you won't find anything better. It is also a space that will accommodate ALL of your various decor wants and needs and you can truly make it your own. Big or small, this venue was perfect.

If you book your wedding here, you won't regret it for one second. You will have an incredible time from start to finish!

We are so very glad to have partnered with the Guilford Hall team for our wedding reception! From the moment we first walked in to tour until the last guest departed, we felt very welcomed and and at home. The upstairs event space was the perfect size to gather, party, and dance for our 100 guests and a 15 piece band. We loved the inherent beauty of the building, Bier Garten, and event space, that we had minimal decorations. Nicole, the Events Director, was very responsive in answering our many questions, and she allowed us to be very flexible. We were even able to work with Chef Ryan to create a Filipino menu for our guests, and custom cocktails. This was truly a night we will never forget thanks to the Guilford Hall team!

We got married at Guilford on 11/11/23. Everything from our first visit/tour to the wedding day was an amazing, easy experience. What made us choose Guilford was the location and the price - we wanted a city wedding without paying 20k just to rent the place. Guilford’s food is so amazing and we just absolutely loved the space. Nicole and Genesis were both great to work with. Nicole has many years of wedding experience she brings to Guilford. I also paid for a day-of coordinator from the venue which I recommend! They were flexible with my vendors and seriously took care of practically everything. We got so many compliments on the venue and would get married here again in a heart beat! Thank you Guilford!! Katelyn & Jeremy

We had the best day and the best experience working with everyone at Guilford. We received many compliments about the staff’s professionalism and smooth process on the wedding day. We can’t thank them all enough!!! We will certainly be back regularly to reminisce about our perfect day!

It’s hard to find the words to describe how wonderful the team is at Guilford. Nicole, Genesis, Brendon and so many other staff members assisted to make our day absolutely incredible. They made sure my husband and I always had a drink in hand and food in our bellies (so important after a long day!). They were so flexible and patient with me, as there was rain in the forecast day off and we had to pivot plans, but their professionalism made it stressless. If the people aren’t enough, the food and drinks were amazing and we got so many compliments on the venue! It’s such a beautiful spot, you simply cannot go wrong. I truly can’t recommend Guilford enough and we feel so lucky that it was the backdrop for the greatest day of our lives!!

We held our October 2023 wedding at Guilford Hall and have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about our experience! I truly did not experience any major wedding planning stress, and I attribute a lot of that to the help of their event coordinator Nicole. She was exceptionally knowledgeable about event planning and always responsive, thorough and professional. On the weekend of our wedding, the Guilford Hall crew took care of all the logistics and had the venue set up to look even better than I had hoped! Our guests all commented on the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I can’t imagine picking a better venue.

We got married at Guilford Hall Brewery in May of 2023, and it was the absolute perfect day! Nicole and her team made sure we had everything in order leading up to our day. The chef provided us with a fantastic tasting leading up to the day, and met every single one of our wants and beyond!
We had our ceremony in the courtyard, our cocktail hour in the beer garden, and our reception in the upstairs space. To this day, we are getting so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was, how polite the Guilford team was, and how amazing the food was!
A huge shoutout to the bartenders who danced the night away while pouring some amazing brews!
If we had to do it all over, we would choose Guilford a thousand times and more!!! We are so excited to continue to go to Guilford in the future to grab some beers and relive the most amazing wedding day!

Guilford hall far exceeded our expectations. The venue could not lend any better to an incredible party. The food, the staff, the vibe was an 11/10. Taren and I want to extend our sincerest thanks and gratitude to everyone who helped us celebrate our wedding last Saturday. Whether it was finding safety pins to hold pants up, making drinks, the delicious food, or just calming our nerves, we are truly beyond grateful for the support they gave us the whole day. We had an absolute blast and are so glad we chose guilford to host our friends and family (who also had rave reviews about the venue and staff).

11/10 would definitely recommend!

We loved having our wedding at Guilford Hall. We were going for a classy but casual vibe and they absolutely nailed it. Everyone here, especially Nicole, was super helpful every step of the way. We highly recommend them for your wedding.

I had my wedding here this past weekend and it was more than we could have ever imagined. Nicole, the events coordinator, was absolutely perfect and great to work with. We never had a stress at all throughout our whole planning process. I am so beyond grateful for her. When the day came not only was Nicole great but the entire staff was amazing. They interacted with all the guests and made the whole night run smoothly. At one point we even had some of them on the dance floor with us. I would highly recommend here for any event or even just a night out. The food is delicious and the beer is great! Thank you for everything!

The venue, the staff, the food. They whole experience having our wedding here was wonderful! The staff took complete control and were involved the whole day making if very STRESSLESS for me, the bride! :)

Guilford Hall Brewery went above and beyond our expectations for our fall wedding. Every single person on the team, from Nicole and Genesis (the supportive event coordinators), to Ryan (the talented chef), to Claire (one of the amazing waitresses), and everyone else that works there, played a huge part in making this the best day of our lives. Nicole and Genesis continuously worked with us throughout the planning process to make sure our needs were met and offered suggestions and ideas to make it even better. They were very responsive and present and reassured us everything would be taken care of, and it was. When we met Ryan for the food tasting, he brought out food combinations I would have never thought of. It was hard to narrow it down to just a few things. Everything was unique, flavorful, fall-related, and delicious. People are still talking about the food a few weeks later. Not only was the staff incredible, but the venue itself was exactly what we wanted. We had our ceremony outside in the courtyard with 180 people, followed by the cocktail hour outside as well. The atmosphere had a very rustic, laid back, classy feel and everyone had a drink in their hand and a smile on their face. The ceremony was upstairs, surrounded by the iconic Baltimore exposed brick, which made the decorations pop. The light fixtures they have are beautiful enough that we didn’t need to set up any extra lights. Even though we had 180 people, it felt very intimate, surrounded by love. The staff at Guilford ensured everyone was taken care of throughout the entire night and having a great time. I would highly recommend you use this venue for your wedding, you won’t regret it.

WOW. We are stilling coming off of our wedding weekend high! The Guilford Hall Brewery was the BEST venue for our wedding. We did it all in one place, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception. It was SO EASY and smooth. Nicole is a ROCKSTAR and made everything simple. She gave us exactly what we wanted with some amazing ideas as well. The guests kept approaching me all night expressing how they LOVED the venue and have never seen anything like it. Guests also LOVED the food, chef came up with a fantastic menu. Again - everything was done for us, alcohol, food, tables, linens, dessert; Nicole is ON IT!

THANK YOU GUILFORD HALL BREWERY for the BEST PARTY OF OUR LIVES!

If you are looking for a space that is rustic and charming, Guildford Hall Brewery is the perfect venue for you. I had my wedding here October 1st, 2022 and the the venue was well maintained, the staff was very friendly and helpful from the beginning to end. The event coordinator, Nicole was absolutely amazing! Her attention to detail and ability to manage people (multiple vendors) is exactly what every event needs! She is kind, assertive, professional and helped in any way she could to make our night special.

We had our wedding reception for about 100 guests here on 3.23.2024. The staff at Guilford hall was organized, efficient, and so kind! Nicole, the event coordinator, was always responsive and enthusiastic. This staff worked so hard to make our day so special. The venue is gorgeous and the food and drinks created were delicious. 10/10 would recommend!

My husband and I hosted our “wedding celebration” here on April 29, 2023 (after getting married in a private ceremony during COVID). We were looking for a fun, yet elegant vibe where we were allowed some flexibility to customize as we wanted all of the sentimental parts of a wedding, to skip some formality, and really to just celebrate with our friends and family.

From our first visit to Guilford Hall to the end of the event, the event coordinator, Nicole, chef Ryan, and their entire team were amazing to work with! Every email, phone call, and question all the along was answered quickly. Everyone was professional, efficient at their jobs, and truly cared to make sure that we had the best day ever.

We received so many compliments on how lovely and distinct the venue was (and we used every part, from the outdoor space for ceremony and cocktails, the upstairs Crown room for the reception, then the downstairs bar for an afterparty, plus we were able to use the event dining room and brew room for unique and amazing photos.)

The food was absolutely delicious and the themed dinner stations were a huge hit with our guests.

We also enjoyed using the 2 Airbnb’s that Guilford rents (each within a block of the venue) which served as amazing spaces to get ready in (so much more comfortable and spacious than a hotel room) and lovely enough to take beautiful pre-wedding pictures.

We can’t say enough good things about the venue, staff, and food! And we can’t wait to see all of the pictures taken by the photographers in all of the unique and amazing parts of this venue!
