Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

The cultural heart of Baltimore beats loudly at Hotel Indigo® Baltimore Downtown. Our neighborhood is a hub of Charm City history and arts, and our upscale boutique hotel reflects the area's vibrancy with every detail.

Sip on some of the best craft cocktails in our hotel restaurant, Poets Modern Cocktails & Eats. Sample the honey produced at the hotel by our three honey bee colonies, which can be viewed from our fourth-floor guest rooms. And visit with our canine greeter, Xander, a Blue Brindle Cane Corso who invites you and your own pups to stay at our pet-friendly hotel, enjoy dog treats, and play at the nearby Howard Park Dog Park.

We love working with the Monaco! The staff is always so helpful, it's always easy/quick to deliver, and Randie is the absolute best to work with! Her emails/phone calls are always quickly responded to and there is typically nothing that she can't answer! If any issue arise, whether on her end or ours, we work together to make sure everything is perfect and it normally is with Randie and the Monaco team! We couldn't be happier working with everyone there!
