Reviews
The Peabody Library is the most stunning venue in Baltimore. I feel so special to of had our wedding reception in such a beautiful and historical place. The private events team were so warm and helpful with all my questions. They helped with decor, lighting and music suggestions. I could not of asked for anything more.
I'm still pinching myself that I was able to get married this winter at the George Peabody Library. We had both our ceremony and reception at the library, wouldn't change a thing about our special day. The venue is obviously stunning, the staff are very helpful and professional. All the vendors they recommended helped us throw a flawless celebration.
Our wedding (ceremony and reception) was at the Peabody Library last weekend- it was absolutely incredible - all of our guests were floored by how breathtaking the venue was and it made for gorgeous and stunning photos! Additionally, the team at the Library were great to work with- Judy in particular was very helpful and responsive to emails- and was very patient with all my questions!
