Chase Court

Venue is absolutely stunning! The courtyard ceremony was gorgeous and so charming. You will not find a more beautiful outdoor/indoor venue in the city. We also LOVED the bridal suite for getting ready upstairs beforehand, and since the venue is so beautiful, we hardly needed to bring anything for decoration. I CANT WAIT to see the photos! Also the details area made finding other vendors so easy and straightforward. (Santonis was awesome!) Thank you!

We held our wedding here on a Monday in February, and lucked out beautifully with the weather. It really made the venue come alive for us and our guests with the beautiful outdoor gardens and large ballroom. The set up is perfect for events of 70-90 people plus vendors. David, we cannot thank you enough for hosting our special day. Your guidance and warmth help it make the perfect day!

The building is very old and outdated the tables and chairs were disgusting broken and scratched, the owner/manager was very rude and ignorant, making racist comments to the catering company staff, was too involved in the event not letting them do their job. I felt horrible for the bartender and her staff. Would not recommend this venue for anyone as long as he is there and a part of it.

The best advice I could give him and anyone looking to host an event there would be for him to mind his business and to do a better job cleaning because the building was dirty when we got there. There are also broken windows throughout the building. The owner/manager needs to learn how to treat people better and understand that it's not okay to be racist.

I would recommend this venue only if the weather is great and you can use the outdoor ceremony area. Otherwise, very limited space. No Space for group photos - limited to stairway. Outside areas were not available - it was snowing.

Our daughter got married here 2 months ago. I waited to leave a review thinking I would not be as brutal as time went on. That hasn't happened. The proprietor, David, was cold, rude and ugly to everyone. He was incredibly inhospitable and chastised our vendors and guests for accidently stepping off a path in the garden. He did not allow the caterers inside the building to set up, until it was actively raining hard.

The wind was blowing and things getting ruined. We had formal discussions several times about the rain plan, confirmed days before the wedding. David then crammed us all in the smaller library instead of the larger ballroom, which was where we were suppose to be set up for rain if need be. We paid for 5 hours of use, only to be able to use the premises for 4 hours and because of his actions we wasted so much time moving things in and out to suite him.

The gardens are lovely, but you cannot hear the ceremony if you marry outdoors, as there is no sound system. We were not made aware of that, and with the street noise, we couldn't hear much of the speaking. However, we certainly heard David interrupt the 10minute ceremony by slamming windows shut directly behind the guests before the rain began in earnest. To top it off, as the end of the reception drew near, he opened upstairs windows and yelled loudly across the courtyard "Last call". I will leave it there.

Very Very expensive. Its a beautiful scene. Unless you have the extra thousands to give away. I don't recommend this place

Yes, the venue is pretty. But there is very little soundproofing between the outdoor courtyard and the street. They don't have a sound system so at times it was hard to hear the ceremony. To make it worse, the owner?manager? Whatever his role, when it started to sprinkle a bit he slammed the windows shut. In the middle of the 10 minute ceremony. They were opened again almost right after the ceremony even though it was still raining.

So he interrupted the wedding ceremony for what appears to be no reason. Not a good look for a wedding venue. Additionally, we only had access to one bathroom for most of the event.

My husband and I eloped at Chase Court on Mayday/Beltaine and had such a wonderful, whimsical, fun experience! The venue itself was absolutely stunning--if you're looking for an outdoor space that's filled with lush greenery, beautiful stonework and water features, Chase Court is for you! David was a great help and was very easy to talk to. He matched us with an officiant that was right up our alley (Anne Dorsey) as well as a photographer who was so much fun to work with (Jennifer McMenamin) who both helped to make our ceremony and memories unique and so 'us, ' as well as taking care of arranging a beautiful bouquet and boutonneire. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Chase Court!

I have never left a negative review for any company, but this venue is extremely deserving of one. The poor planning, lack of flexibility, and complete absence of hospitality from management made both guests and vendors uncomfortable. Weddings are supposed to be special and memorable, so I would strongly recommend looking to host yours elsewhere. The forecast called for rain in the days leading up to the wedding, and by midday, it was clear that we were in for showers.

The owner/manager still decided to set up all the tables outside, and only allowed very limited access to areas inside the building. Once the rain picked up, the tables were moved into the library, a very small and unpleasant looking room. The walls were plain and aged, and the lighting was dim and poor for photos. The bar did not fit in the library with the tables, so guests had to walk a distance outside, in the rain, for drinks (and the poor bartender also had to stand without cover during that time).

There was a larger and more accommodating room that was advertised, but we were not able to use. All guests had to share one tiny bathroom, that was not very accessible to anyone over 5'6", given the sloping ceilings. The owner/manager was extremely cold and controlling, and made off-putting comments throughout the night, choosing to close out the event by flinging open upstairs windows and shouting "last call!" down to everyone before the scheduled close time was reached.

Such a serene, lively and beautiful place to Have your wedding.it has everything you need and The nature outside is so beautiful. I love it and I'm having my wedding here next year.

I am professional photographer and have photographed over 400 weddings. This venue is great for no more than 50 people. However, the layout is not meant for weddings. It's very awkward space (I believe those are old church chambers), and literally there is one way in and no way out. One small bathroom and to get to bridal suite, you have to go through owners messy office.

It was very annoying how the owner was 'playing a photographer' role and making controlling remarks in the front of guests: "Don't step on my lawn" etc. The lights and charm of old church brick looks great, but people who run it matters. I wouldn't invest in this venue.

Chase Court was a beautiful venue for our daughter's wedding reception. We had cocktails in the garden and the ballroom seated 100 to perfection with room for dancing. I enjoyed working with David Egan, the Proprietor, and he worked very hard to make our celebration special and beautiful! The garden is magical and Chase Court helped us make beautiful memories of an enchanted evening. Linwoods, an approved caterer for Chase Court, catered the event to perfection as well.

The venue is every bit as striking as the pictures would have you believe. The great hall looks like something out of a fantasy story; and for two nerds getting married that made it perfect. It also has a fantastic indoor/outdoor setup; the weather for our wedding was as nice as we could have hoped for in October in Baltimore, but if we'd been forced to go inside it would have been fine and fitting.

If you're getting married outdoors though, watch for the bridge! We didn't have anyone go off of it, but only because we were all paying really really close attention to it. The catering list, while limited, still gives you plenty of options. We ended up going with The Pantry at David's suggestion and can't recommend them highly enough. Speaking of David, he is an integral part of the Chase Court experience.

We understand that his hands-on approach may not be for everyone, but neither of us had Our Perfect Wedding Planned Out From Age Six and his reassurance and advice was critical for us. We also wanted to find as inclusive an environment for our wedding as possible, and David's dedication to social justice and inclusion was a big selling point. Overall rating: 11/10, great place to get married with a great on-site coordinator.

I feel strongly that I should write a review of this venue even though we did not choose to get married here. Our main reason for not choosing Chase Court was that it just wasn't a good fit for what we were interested in. That being stated though, I feel honored to have found this beautiful location. Chase court is in a beautiful Gothic building that has been around for a very long time.

From what I could tell the building has been very well taken care of and David has been doing an excellent job of keeping the business coming. Walking into the courtyard was like entering a sanctuary. Even though it was a busy weekday, we could barely hear the traffic just on the other side of the wall. The indoor option was just lovely and had so much character!

If we were going to keep to a small number of guests (as in 6) then we more thank likely would have chosen this venue. And regarding the pricing - you really do get what you pay for But a bit longer than 30 mins would be a bit easier on everyone. PS - David, I apologize for not calling you back to let you know that we went with another venue, things got a little hectic!

The venue is beautiful, albeit small. My husband and I were considering having our wedding here however the owner made us rethink the decision. When we met with him, he gave us a rushed 5 minute tour and kept pushing us into booking a date on the spot. When I said I wanted time to think about it and wanted to bring my mom by to look at the venue, he condescendingly said, "You're in your 20s and still need your mommy to make decisions for you?" After that, I was completely put off from the place. Also, the parking garage is far and we had a hard time even finding the building since it is not very visible from the road.

I had heard about this place as an "accepting" venue, which is what I needed. However, I'm not sure if the person who answered was having a bad day, but he was not very helpful or enthusiastic. Maybe its because I am a man and he is used to dealing with female callers? (I actually had two venues mention that its usually a bride calling, not a groom). I'm not sure. Anyway, I called about two weeks ago and I asked him some questions, and he just offered abrupt yes or no answers without any further explanation, and his attitude and tone of voice sounded like I was interrupting his sleep or I was bothering him.

I was calling for more information, but I feel like getting the info was like pulling teeth. He did not offer for me to visit, or set up an appointment. I asked all of the questions, he answered them with short nondescript answers, then there was silence on his end. By the end of our conversation, I did not even want to ask for a tour or an appointment, which is a shame, because it seemed perfect on the website.

I just don't understand.all the reviews were great, but I'm not going with someone who's first impression on the phone makes it seem like I am bothering him. If that is the tone when he's trying to sell the venue to me, I could only imagine what would he do if I had an actual problem on my wedding day.

My new husband and I just had our wedding here (3/19/14). Unfortunately, this past winter was exceptionally cold, snowy, rainy, and just.bleck. Our wedding day was no exception, so we ended up doing our entire wedding (ceremony and reception) inside. The four out of five stars relates to the cocktail hour, which was rather awkward because the ballroom was closed for repositioning from 'ceremony' to 'reception.' Maybe for some couples this would be o.k., but if you are like us and have many elderly, disabled, and infirmed guests, you might find it a bit uncomfortable and crowded during this time.

We had about 80 guests and it was hard to fit everyone comfortably - to the point where many people didn't really get to enjoy the appetizers or specialty cocktails because we were rather smashed in and lacked space for chairs or tables. Aside from this (which was a mere 20 minutes of the night) - we LOVED Chase Court. CC offers the best of both worlds: you're right downtown near hubs of transportation, tourist attractions, and high-end hotels, but you feel like you're in some fairytale country estate straight out of an Edwardian novel. David is efficient, no-nonsense, and yet took the time at the end of a busy night to visit with us and our photographers for a few moments of humor and banter. Note: dark blue up-lighting IN the windows of the ballroom looks A-MAZ-ing!

We wanted to get married without the hassle of planning a wedding, but at the same time didn't want to just go to city hall--we were looking for a nice ceremony that honored the significance of what we were doing. The Chase Court Elopement package was absolutely perfect. It was obvious that David and the officiant he chose for us would have accommodated any request and let us personalize/customize the ceremony pretty much any way we wanted to, but for us the point was to not have to do all of that.

We let David and the Pastor know what details did matter to us, and left the rest up to them. We showed up and got married with absolutely no stressing over the details. I have already recommended Chase Court to another couple looking for a nice and beautiful but low-key wedding.

We were married here years ago. David, the owner was very helpful and friendly. The location is beautiful and impeccably kept with that old gothic feeling without all the weird church tradition. We're a lesbian couple, so LGBT friendliness was important to us, and the whole staff was great. We had our ceremony in the garden, drinks in the library, and dinner in the ballroom. Worked perfectly.

This was also a really reasonably priced location for the versatility and beauty it offers. Especially if you want an outside ceremony but want an easy alternative if it rains, Chase Court is great.

I went here for a friend's wedding and it was very enjoyable. During the big day it rained so the staff was good at transitioning the wedding service indoors. The building is very historic and picturesque. I thought the food could be better as the meat portions were small and lacked full flavor. Otherwise, this is a nice venue for a wedding.

Chase Court is gorgeous. We absolutely loved our wedding there and our guests raved about it. The garden was simply magnificent and the space was really perfect. I also love that the place is LGBTQ friendly. David, the owner, helped us to coordinate a wonderful event that went off smoothly. The reviews on other sites mention this (and I appreciated the warning): David is opinionated and can be heavy-handed.

We tended to be grateful for his advice, though, and he worked flexibly with our tastes and vision. His recommendations for vendors were also fantastic. He really knows what he's doing! My only complaint was with the sound system. We used an ipod for music, which we hooked up to the built-in system there. It's not great and we would have liked it to be louder. On the other hand, it didn't stop us from having a pretty great dance party!

Beautiful Venue. I love working there when I go to do makeup. it is quant and romantic and the people there are very nice. I know my brides love this venue and I always hear the most amazing reviews. I can see why! xoxox

We attended a wedding reception here on New Years eve. Difficult to find, the driver of the shuttle had to circle the block twice before letting us off around the and kind of shrugging when we seemed confused that there was no Chase Court in sight. Some of us had seen a sign pointing towards a gate between two buildings, and sure enough down a pathway we found what we were looking for.

The space, when we attended, was set up as follows: The door entered into a hallway; a large room to the left with a fireplace, about 11 large round tables, each seating 7 or so. Down 3 steps to the right there was a smaller room which could fit 4 cocktail tables and a bar setup(A long service table). As I take it, the event space didn't come with any setup, so the tables were brought here by the party.

In the hallway there was a large staircase leading up, which the wedding party often used, presumably as a preparation area. Also on the ground floor was a coat room. Service was decent at the event, servers with hors d'oeuvres were quickly overwhelmed by guests who hadn't eaten since noon, and after getting exhausted from getting picked-off in the hallway on the way to the cocktail room, started to ignore some of the guests trying to stop/flag them.

The servers assigned to the bar were fantastic, although at one point I believe the regulars took a breather and I wound up teaching the substitute how to make a vodka soda. Service for dinner was fantastic, the staff was knowledgable and accommodation. The hostess was aware of my girlfriends vegetarianism and monitored our table to make sure that she wasn't given a plate she wasn't supposed to be. Additionally, the salad had nuts on it, which my girlfriend is allergic to.

No sooner did she ask if the salad had nuts on it did the waiter turn around and take it back to the kitchen, coming back moments later with a totally fresh salad - allergen free. The evening didn't seem spaced well, and I'm unsure if this was on the part of the venue or the party. For a three-hour event, the hors d'oeuvres were passed out for about an hour and dinner service lasted about an hour, leaving only a half our or so for dancing and whatnot. Seeing as the bridesmaid had painstakingly created a two-hour dance playlist, I don't think it was the parties intention. All-in-all, a beautiful space with only a few missteps for the entire reception made for a very memorable evening.
