Baltimore Venue Spotlight: Walters Art Museum

Monday, November 16, 2009 by Greg Ruby
 The Walters Art Museum is a hidden gem among private event venues in Baltimore. Imagine holding your small business meeting, banquet or cocktail reception among amazing works of art and paintings. Current exhibitions on display include Mummified and Art of the Ancient Americas.

In 2008, when The Expo Group was looking for a venue in Baltimore to host their Show Manager of The Years Award ceremony, they decided that the Walters fit their needs perfectly and had their dinner among the statues in the original Charles Street building. The Walters can accommodate up to 500 attendees for a reception.

In addition to banquets and meetings, the Walters is one of the most coveted wedding venues in Baltimore. Many a wedding reception has been held within the Walters’ Sculpture Courtyard.  Having handled so many weddings, the staff at the Walters can assist with the many details of organizing the reception and can recommend several caterers in Baltimore. The Peabody Court Hotel is located across the street from the museum and is one of the few boutique hotels in Baltimore.

Club Level Lounge of M&T Bank StadiumM&T Bank Stadium, home of the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens, is one of the most interesting event venues in Baltimore. In particular, the lounges on the Club Level of the stadium rival any other special event facility in the Baltimore metropolitan area.

The North Club Level Lounge can accommodate groups from 50 people to upwards of 2,000 people, while offering a fantastic view of the Baltimore skyline, including the nearby Sheraton Inner Harbor and Hilton Baltimore hotels. The two South Club Level lounges can accommodate up to 1,000 people each. In addition, there are several smaller areas on the Club Level that easily handle smaller meetings of 60 to 250 people.

Meetings, sit-down dinners and receptions can be accommodated in either the North or South Club Level Lounges. The folks at Aramark can create custom menus to match the theme of your meeting. Additional attractions for your special event can be arranged at the stadium, such as having the Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders or mascots attend, as well as behind-the-scenes tours of the suites, Press Box, and locker rooms. This is truly a unique venue in Baltimore and one that guests talk about after they leave.
