My husband and I didn't want a long engagement, so we planned our wedding in 5 months. We chose the Center Club because they had everything we needed in house and I only had to find a few other vendors for flowers, DJ, photographer. Had I known how easy, seamless and wonderful an experience it would be, I wouldn't have looked elsewhere! Besides the awesome view and the classy décor, I think what sets the Center Club apart was the SERVICE. Seriously, the food and service is top notch. Ashley was so helpful and did everything for me, I didn't have to worry about a thing. I didn't use a wedding coordinator, but didn't need to because Ashley took care of coordinating everything. Our out of town guests loved the delicious Baltimore food (crab everything :)) and they raved about the service. I was so pleased with everything and can't thank the staff enough for the wonderful job on our very special day.

Ashley and everyone at the Center Club made planning our wedding so easy. It ran smoothly and our guests loved the food, view, atmosphere.... I’m a worrier, but not this time. Sit back, relax and enjoy your wedding. With Ashley and her team, you will!

Choosing a wedding venue was one of the most important things on our list as a couple. I had in mind a setting that was classic, romantic, elegant and embodied Baltimore - The Center Club delivered all of this and more. We were in awe of the space when we first toured it and while the view itself is decoration enough, we were able to truly customize the space. The club was well known with our chosen vendors, which helped make the planning process a bit easier. In addition, the staff, specifically Ashley Ratliff, made sure the day was perfect; from planning to execution. She made herself available to answer all my questions, ease my concerns and offer guidance. To be truthful, I originally had the impression the day would be stressful for me no matter what - but I ended up having the best night of my life. Our family and friends couldn't stop talking about the scenery, the food, absolutely everything about the night. I owe that to this place and the people who help made it happen.

I usually don't write reviews, but the Center Club was outstanding, from the amazing views of Baltimore City and the Harbor to the attentive staff! Our wedding coordinator, Ashley made suggestions throughout the planning process. She was incredible and took care of every detail.

The Center Club provides the perfect location, setting, and ambiance for a wedding reception. My son, the Groom, and his fiancé, the Bride were supported throughout the process from the first appointment upon meeting with Ashley Ratliffe, the Event Coordinator, to the big day – their wedding. We were guided and supported throughout – especially in making decisions about the cocktail reception, the dinner buffet, the placement of tables, band, flowers, cake, etc. Ashley and her staff guided us through each and every step and decision. The space is lovely, the view is spectacular, and the food was delicious. Our guests commented on the outstanding service during the cocktail reception including the presentation of the Hors Oeuvres and the wine as well as the Open Bar. . .no one was left waiting for anything. The tables for the dinner reception were beautifully set with the color scheme, the silk flower arrangements, and the salad. The buffet with servers had an excellent choice o...

The children enjoyed the Crafts Table during the Cocktail Reception and young and old alike loved the Ice Cream Sundae dessert with so many toppings along with the wedding cake which was displayed for all to see. The positioning of the dance floor, the band, and the wine bar after dinner was perfect. And, the view of the Baltimore Harbor from the 16th floor is breathtaking – and propels the venue for a wedding reception from great to extraordinary. Without exception, every guest commented on the elegant ambiance, the delicious food, and the magnificent view – even the wedding party had their own private room to prepare for the introductions and refresh themselves before entering the reception. Nothing was left undone and Ashley Ratliffe, her staff, and the wait and bar staff were cordial, respectful, and helpful throughout the pre-planning and the wedding reception – I recommend without reservation and with great enthusiasm The Center Club for a wedding reception.

The Center Club was the perfect venue for my event. It overlooks beautiful downtown Baltimore. The renovation is perfectly designed for a variety of floor plans. The Orioles Club was the perfect setting for the many Oriole fans attending the Welcome Party. The food and service are exceptional and the staff I worked closely with, particularly Ashley Ratliff, accommodated my every need.

The place is absolutely wonderful the staff is even better, could not have asked for better , from the event coordinator put the folks helping on the floor, and of course the view

Food and views: the most important factors that played into my wedding venue selection choice. The Center Club had both, plus AMAZING personalities. Ashley, the event coordinator was phenomenal and I cannot thank her enough. Without her there is no way I would have been able to pull off a 7 month turnaround (engaged in October, didn't start planning until January, married in May!). While I don't recommend such a short timeframe, all of The Center Club staff went above and beyond to make it my day. Linens, seats, tables, and beautiful views all included; the only thing I brought were the centerpieces-- Ashley provided extras too, like an easel for the seating chart, table numbers, votive candles, and additional decorations. It makes a big difference to work with someone who wants to see you happy. HIGHLY recommended. Especially if you have never been to a wedding or been in a wedding before. Lots of things you don't know, that you need to know and Ashley makes sure you know them. ... Read more Had 3 bridesmaids, plus a MOH, and MOB, and a makeup artist. It did get a little tight in the bridal suite (might I add, they provided champagne), but the women's restroom was literally next door so we did use that for a little extra space while getting ready. Also had a groomsmen/groom room on a different level so I didn't have to worry about any accidental peaks. One thing I would advise is to make sure you indicate which tables you would like to eat first if you choose a buffet food option, otherwise random tables get selected, and you will likely prefer family and bridal party to eat first.

The Center Club is one of the most romantic places to hold a Wedding. Every aspect of the Wedding was exactly as we planned and we got great advice from working with Ashley Ratcliff the Banquet Manager who also has expertise as a Wedding Planner. Ashley carried out each detail to perfection. We had a small Wedding of 50 guests on the 16th Floor (beautifully refurbished Harbor 1 Room ) in the evening on Saturday December 8, 2018. My three Bridesmaids and I were able to use the Brides’ Suite on the 16th Floor and it was gorgeous. The Center Club was beautifully decorated in its Holiday Finest and the night sky in Baltimore was a gorgeous backdrop to our Wedding venue. We had our Ceremony in the Founder’s Room; a posh retro Champagne Cocktail reception in the 16th Floor Lounge, dinner in the Harbor Room and dancing in the Orioles Pub after dinner The DJ, Justin Darling (Music Masters) came recommended by the Center Club and dancing was the perfect end to a perfect Weddin...

Everything was perfect. Vanessa was invaluable in making this day so wonderful.

Mr. Kevin Bonner of The Center Club was a true gentleman and excellent general manager. Mr. Bonner oversaw a wonderful event, assuring that all went well, which it most certainly did. He's there for you and absolutely delivers. Mr. Bonner and his entire staff were responsible for bringing a fantasy wedding to life and my husband and I are beyond thrilled with the results. Trust the Center Club - with Mr. Bonner at the head and Vanessa the lead event coordinator at his side, each event is a near guaranteed success.

Try as one might, I honestly can't think even one negative component of our experience with Vanessa, her event team, or in any of our dealings with staff at The Center Club. They saw our vision and helped transform the club into exactly that by going above and beyond in nearly every way you can imagine. They transformed the club into our fantasy wedding site and were smiling and happy to do so each step of the way. I can't emphasize just how wonderful our experience at The Center Club and simply recommend that anyone considering the site, just go for it. Vanessa and team will see it from concept to reality, keeping the Club as classy as it is or transforming it into the dreamscape she and team did for us. Thank you to Vanessa, her team, and the Center Club for making my (now) wife's seemingly impossible dream wedding a reality.

What a beautiful venue! The staff was courteous and professional - I highly recommend the Center Club to others for various events (ours was corporate, but I know this would be fabulous for a wedding or other celebration too).

The Center Club provided the perfect venue for my ceremony and reception! Everyone is still raving about the food! I would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to be in Baltimore. Vanessa and Kristin were wonderful to work with!!
