About this venue
The Cloisters Castle, located just outside of Baltimore, MD, reflects the beauty and grandeur of medieval Europe! The Cloisters is a historic home designed to look like a European castle, featuring delicately carved wood, exquisitely detailed stained glass, and ornately designed wrought iron, much of which was sourced from European castles. There are multiple indoor and outdoor locations for your ceremony and reception. Several movies have been filmed here, including Cry Baby with Johnny Depp, and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett were married here on New Years' Eve in 1997!

Fairytale Wedding at Cloisters Castle
The Cloisters Castle in Maryland was the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff was experienced, knowledgeable, though a bit slow to respond at times. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a historic and affordable feel that made it a unique and memorable location for our special day. The castle and grounds were gorgeous, reminding us of Hogwarts in the winter when it was snowing, and feeling like a spooky haunted mansion during our walkthrough on a stormy summer day. The indoor/outdoor flow was great, and while there is no AC, the fans we rented for the patio kept us comfortable on the summer solstice. The team at Cloisters Castle allowed us early access to drop off our decor, which was a huge help. They also host open houses with fantastic vendors, some of which offer discounts. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our wedding.
Beautiful Venue
The Cloisters Castle in Maryland was a beautiful venue for our wedding, with a classy and elegant style. While their communication style could have been improved, as we had to follow up multiple times to get responses, the team did a great job tending to the details on the day of the event. They provided a gorgeous space, kept the indoor fireplaces lit and cozy, and ensured our guests' needs were taken care of throughout the celebration. Overall, we were very happy with the quality and value of The Cloisters Castle, and would recommend it to other couples looking for a one-of-a-kind wedding venue.
Almost Perfect
When we came to tour the Cloisters, we knew it was exactly where we wanted to have it. The building itself is amazing, and was exactly what we wanted for the vibe of our wedding. The management was a bit hard to work with, and it was a challenge to work around their assigned schedule. We were only allowed 5 event hours, and 3 hours for setup, and another hour for cleanup. It'd have been much better to get another few hours through the day.
Response from vendor•Dec 3, 2024Good Afternoon Wyatt and Chloe; I am sorry you felt we were "a bit hard" to work with. Were the challenges as a result of the 10 hour contract or did you have other concerns? Let us know your challenges, If it is something we can correct for the next event, I would like to do so. Thank You Annie
