Where Industrial Charm Meets Waterfront Romance

The Baltimore Museum of Industry is a Baltimore wedding venue on the waterfront, where sweeping Inner Harbor views, historic industrial architecture, and flexible event spaces set the scene for celebrations of up to 300 seated guests or 500 for a cocktail reception.

Baltimore History. Waterfront Romance.

Some wedding venues have a view of the harbor. This one has a front-row seat to Baltimore's history.

Housed in a former 1860s oyster cannery, the Baltimore Museum of Industry pairs authentic industrial character with an extraordinary waterfront setting. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Inner Harbor, while a brick terrace and open-air pavilion give couples room to celebrate beside the water.

Exchange vows with the harbor as your backdrop, enjoy cocktails as the sun sets over the city, and move indoors for dinner and dancing surrounded by artifacts celebrating Baltimore's industrial past.
