From beginning to end, our rehearsal dinner event at the Maryland Inn was perfect in every way. Michele's attention to detail was top notch. Having a cocktail hour in the main lobby was brilliant and allowed guests to mingle before dinner. We chose the Chesapeake Buffet which gave our out of town guests a chance to enjoy some authentic Maryland cuisine. The rockfish topped with crab was a huge hit as was the peach/blueberry cobbler for dessert. All the food was delicious. Not only was the planning of the event simple, but the service at our dinner was outstanding. For the price and service we received I would definitely plan another event here.

I feel that every single person that we worked with at the Historic Inns was 100% professional, and went above and beyond at every opportunity from the first time I contacted them. We had been looking at various venue options throughout the area, and also had a size issue that ruled out a lot of smaller venues in the area. Some of the things that drew us to the Calvert House were how unique and quaint the facility was, the location, and the price compared to other options in the vicinity. You really get a lot of value for your dollar there. Our wedding was at the Naval Academy, and we loved that our guests would be able to walk from the hotel to the wedding and then to the reception. Also, they were right downtown when the reception ended. It worked out so well! We ended up taking the Calvert House to the very brink of their capacity for a sit-down dinner in the end, but they made it work. We had invited 300 people to the wedding, and the capacity for a sit-down was 200 in t... Read morehe ballroom with overflow to the atrium. However, Michelle was so great at showing us all of our options no matter what the number was. Leading up to the wedding we were going between doing a sit-down with assigned seating in one room and a cocktail style with open seating throughout the two rooms and outside. It was only when we got to our magic number a week before our wedding that we decided to do a sit-down. It was completely seamless to make the transition, and they made it work perfectly. They were able to accommodate every request that we made. It felt so great not to have to worry about anything. They made the bridal room that is off the atrium available for my bridesmaids and I to get ready on the day of the wedding including having our hairdressers there. We were able to have a lot of people in that room and had space to bring in some snacks for the bridesmaids and my family, which made it very fun and cozy. There were couches and a TV that kept the little ones occupied and happy! The food was absolutely incredible! The chef was awesome too. The hardest part of the food tasting was deciding what to choose. Since we could not try the pork entree, we asked if we could at least sample the glaze and they were glad to do that. The glaze sold us on the pork entree. We wanted to eat whatever it was put on! One of our other entrees was the crab cakes, which our guests are still raving about. The hotel rooms were very nice, and the staff was great. It was so neat that some of the hotel rooms overlooked the atrium, where all of the dancing was going on. One of the highlights for many was my dad playing the air guitar from the window of my parents' hotel room during the reception. I honestly do not have any complaints except that I was sick and could hardly eat any of the delicious food! All in all, it was such an amazing setting for a reception. I felt so unbelievably taken care of by the spectacular people there, and I recommend the Historic Inns to anyone. They are incredible!

The Maryland Inn Duke of Gloucester room was the site for our wedding. Michelle Vellon was a pleasure to deal with and the chef and catering staff delivered an event that all of our friends and family have been raving about ever since. It truly exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend the Historic Inns of Annapolis for your wedding. We booked a block of rooms and most of our friends and family traveled in for the big event and the rooms were comfortable, quiet despite being located in the middle of Annapolis and there were no complaints!

Great prices, great service. This reception venue is wonderful.

The Governor Calvert House was a fantastic wedding location. It's beautiful with a historic feel and an area that allows flexibility for the layout and flow for the entire day. They were extremely helpful in suggesting vendors and working with everyone. The supplied all the table, orders the upgraded chairs we wanted and even offered two linen choices if you wanted to use them. The team at the Gov. Calvert House was amazing. The inn was full due to a Navy game but they helped us find rooms for all of our out of town guest. And the event was catered by The Treaty of Paris restaurant which was phenomenal and the their were plenty of options for the cocktail hour and dinners. They also provide champagne for toast and a chocolate covered strawberry with every piece of cake. I would recommend the Governor Calvert House without any hesitation, we loved it and all our guest loved it too. Michelle the wedding coordinator was a huge help during the planning process and on the big day. I have a... Read more very detail oriented bride and she was always available and on top of everything. If i had it all to do again, i won't look anywhere else. This location is perfect and that id what you want on your special day.

We really enjoyed the quaintness of our reception at the Governor Calvert House. It was large enough to hold 165 guests comfortably. Our coordinator was also readily available to ask questions to, set up food tasting and even meet our servers and chef. We had a wonderful reception with foods that were specific to our requests, plenty of servers to keep our food on time and a extremely tasty menu. Our guests raved about the site and food!

Great venue for both ceremony and reception!

The Calvert house was stunning during the blizzard in December---which is when my husband and I were married. The staff were wonderful, there weren't lines at the bars (and there were definitely people drinking.....) the food was delicious, and the setting is unmatchable. The planning process was difficult in the beginning. We blocked off rooms, but the woman that was in charge of it was completely incompetent. I believe during our planning process she was fired, and someone a lot better took over. It was smooth sailing after that. The Calvert House is the perfect place for an Annapolis wedding, and is the perfect size as well! Guests will love staying in the hotel, and the Bride and Groom will remember their wedding forever.

The maryland Inn was the perfect place for our wedding---it provided the charm, ambiance and serenity we were looking for. Our guests enjoyed it as much as we did.

We had our wedding at the Governor Calvert House and could not have been any happier. It was a beautiful historic inn, and didn't feel like a hotel ballroom at all. The food was absolutely amazing and so many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. The venue was great to work with and the location was beautiful. There is a great back patio and a beautiful exposed brick wall in the atrium. I looked at so many venues in Annapolis, and this is the only one that was perfect for my 150 guests. I would highly recommend this location!!!

The Historic Inns of Annapolis owns 3 hotels in Annapolis, The Governor Calvert House, The Robert Johnson House, and The Maryland Inn. Back in January we made reservations for a suite in The Governor Calvert House. We were notified a short while later that they messed up our reservation and double booked. We were given the option of a two story townhouse which was part of The Robert Johnson House. We ended up liking this better, so we were fine with the switch. I went to look at it and it was very spacious, with two full baths and a downstairs for getting ready, and the bedroom upstairs. Since Hair and Makeup were coming to us space was definitely needed. Friday evening (around 7 or 8) after the rehearsal dinner my husband and I went to check in. I was spending Friday night with my sisters and figured it would just be easier to check in now, and then my sisters and I could bring our stuff from the Doubletree over later. I was told that our reservations had been canceled and ... Read morethe place had been given to someone else. They stated that it was canceled that afternoon and the woman that canceled it was on a plane and couldn't be reached. The only note in their computer system was change of plans. I find it hard to believe that someone just happened to need a two story townhouse and asked about it the day that it was randomly canceled. I still don?t know what happened, but either way, they messed up and they informed us that legally they couldn't kick out the individuals staying there. I fought, cried and asked them to talk to the individuals in the room. They said they did, and they wouldn't leave. They gave us a room at The Maryland Inn, a nice suite, about 1/3 of the size and they gave it to us for free. Yes it was nice to save the money, but I had to call all my vendors (hair/makeup, florist, photographer and limo) all after 8 at this point and give them a new address. Plus I had less space for my girls and I to get ready. It still pisses me off when I think about it.

I had my wedding reception at the Governor Calvert House. Michelle is great to work with here. The food was fantastic! We had a summer spinach salad with strawberries, followed with a choice of beef filets or crab stuffed rockfish. We had chocolate covered strawberries served with our cake (from Fiona's). The food was seriously the best wedding food I've ever had. It didn't taste like "banquet" food at all. The Historic Inns of Annapolis owns the Governor Calvert House. They redid part of the space a few years ago. The bathrooms need to be updated, and it would be nice if the main dining area looked a little nicer (low ceiling, blank walls). We brought in a lighting company to pin spot the flower arrangements, which made a world of difference. We also paid to have the kitchen entrance draped to make that area look nicer. When choosing this space, I looked at the USNA Officers Club, the Annapolis Westin, Annapolis Marriott Waterfront, and Maryland Inn. The Governor Calv... Read moreert House gave me the best of what I wanted: a historic location, accommodations for approximately 150 attendees, great food, and a nice ambiance. While some improvements would be nice, this is a great location for a wedding.

I was dealing with Doris for the first couple months, but then one day I called and she never called back. So I kept calling and found out that "she no longer works here." So from then on I dealt with the Director of Catering. She was very helpful but one big complaint I had was that I had ordered one vegetarian meal and was promised grilled veggies in puff pastry. What my guest got was cold plain spaghetti. Needless to say she was disappointed and asked what happened and the wait staff just said that was all they had. Also, the kitchen ran out of salmon even though I had given them exact numbers as to how much we would need. When the night was over at 11pm they immediately turned on all the lights and told everyone to leave. Almost everyone was staying at the hotel so most were just mingling but I thought the staff was rather brusque about the way they did it. There were also some problems with reserving the rooms at a special rate for our guests. We were promised 15 rooms b...

From the first day I looked at the Governor Calvert House they fixed up a lot but I struggled through most of the wedding planning process. If you want to do easy wedding planning then don't go here BUT it is a very different look and feel so you can make it work. Just note that you have to stay ontop of every little detail to make it work. I hired Weddings of Romance to coordinate my day. They have worked at this location before and know how to deal with them. If you are looking to hold your wedding here to save yourself I would also hire Weddings of Romance (www.WeddingsofRomance.com). I hope this information helps you.
