Sophisticated Weddings in the Heart of Charm City
Located in Baltimore, MD, 1840s Plaza is a historic wedding venue. It has several event spaces that make for charming weddings that blend history and contemporary style. The venue and boutique bed and breakfast sit just steps away from some of downtown Baltimore’s biggest attractions, like Harbor East, Little Italy and the Inner Harbor. 1840s Plaza is situated in the heart of the Jonestown district, a historic neighborhood that was established in 1732. The 1840s Carrollton Inn, the hotel adjacent to the venue, was named after Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Carroll was an American Founding Father and signer of the Declaration of Independence whose winter mansion is located next to the venue and hotel. The oldest part of the buildings dates to the late 18th century when Carroll himself could be seen strolling through the streets of Baltimore. The eye-catching cast-iron facade was one of only twelve that were saved during the great Baltimore fire of 1904, and after undergoing restorations, is in near-perfect condition. The first thing couples and their guests will notice at the venue is the stunning red brick exterior of the buildings. Some are centuries-old, while authentic, period-accurate replicas have been built to extend the venue and hotel. This wedding location has two outdoor spaces that connect the bed and breakfast to the Fava Building, where events are held. The courtyards are decorated with hedges and flowers that add to the romantic air of the venue. The interior of both the hotel and the Fava Building are embellished with rich, dark wood and plush furniture, adding a touch of luxury to any wedding. Inside the Fava Building, there are three spaces to choose from: The Cabaret, City Lites, and the Ballroom. The 5,000-square-foot Ballroom can accommodate cocktail-style weddings of up to 350 or seated parties of up to 230 guests. Smaller weddings can be held in the Latin-themed Cabaret, or the relaxed atmosphere of the City Lites. Each event space includes tables and chairs as needed. The facility offers elopement packages for those who want to keep their wedding an intimate gathering of only their nearest and dearest guests. Couples can add romance to the occasion and spend a night in the hotel, where each of the 13 rooms has been individually designed and decorated.
