What types of events are ideal for the Courtyard?

The Courtyard is perfect for micro and small weddings, vow renewals, baby and bridal showers, birthday and milestone parties, lunch meetings, and cocktail hours. It can also serve as a pre-function space before an indoor reception.

What is the Courtyard’s size and maximum capacity?

The Courtyard is approximately 300 sq. ft. (about 10′ × 30′) and accommodates up to 50 guests, depending on layout and event style.

Which layouts fit the Courtyard?

Typical layouts include Banquet rounds up to 24, Boardroom/long table up to 24, Cocktail (high-tops) up to 40, and Theater-style ceremony up to 40. We’ll tailor the floor plan to your guest count and flow.

Is there an indoor backup for weather?

Yes. We can pair the Courtyard with an indoor room as a rain or heat plan, based on availability, so your event stays on schedule if the weather shifts.

Is the Courtyard wheelchair accessible?

Yes. There are wheelchair-accessible routes to the Courtyard and nearby indoor restrooms. Please share guest needs so we can confirm the best path.

Do you provide catering and bar service outdoors?

Yes. Our onsite culinary team offers plated, family-style, buffet, stations, or reception-style menus for brunch, lunch, cocktails, or dinner. Bar packages include beer & wine, full bar, signature cocktails, and mocktails.

Can you accommodate dietary needs?

Absolutely. We can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs. Please share allergies and preferences in advance.

What AV or music is appropriate in the Courtyard?

High-speed internet supports playlists and streaming. Low-volume background music and small speakers are recommended. Handheld or clip-on mics may be used with neighborhood-friendly sound levels. Your coordinator will confirm any amplification guidelines.

What décor looks best in the Courtyard?

The café lights and greenery create a garden vibe. Keep décor simple with linens, bud vases, and LED candles. Specialty décor or open flame requires approval and may need specific holders.

Can we pair the Courtyard with other spaces?

Yes. Popular pairings include Courtyard ceremony → Stone Room dinner or Courtyard cocktail hour → Admiral’s Ballroom reception. Pairing also serves as a weather backup.

Where are you located and what about parking?

We’re in Fells Point at 888 S Broadway, Baltimore, MD 21231. Valet with in/out privileges is available, nearby garages are convenient, and rideshare is easy. The waterfront and restaurants are steps away.

Do you have an onsite hotel for guests?

Yes. The William Fell Baltimore (Tapestry Collection by Hilton) offers 80 guest rooms. Ask about room blocks and suites for getting ready.

Are children and pets allowed?

Children are welcome; we can provide kids’ menus and earlier service. The onsite hotel is pet-friendly (weight and fee apply). For events, please discuss pet-of-honor plans with your coordinator.

Any photo tips for the Courtyard?

Golden hour provides soft, flattering light. Nearby backdrops include the waterfront promenade and Broadway Square. If weather moves you indoors, we’ll identify great photo spots on property.

How do we get pricing and reserve the Courtyard?

Share your date, event type, and guest count. We’ll send a tailored proposal with menus, layouts, bar options, and a weather plan. A signed agreement and deposit secure your date.

Do you allow outside vendors?

Yes. Licensed vendors are welcome. Certificates of Insurance may be required. We’ll provide load-in details, timelines, and outdoor policies for décor and sound.
