Simply amazing
My husband and I recently celebrated our dream wedding at Blackwall Barn & Lodge, and we cannot express our gratitude enough to the phenomenal team that made our day truly magical. Allison and Katie, went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, making our special day stress-free and unforgettable.
From our initial consultation to the big day itself, Allison and Katie exhibited professionalism, creativity, and genuine care. They listened attentively to our vision and brought it to life with their expertise and attention to detail. Their dedication and passion for creating a personalized experience truly set them apart.
The staff at Blackwall Barn and Lodge deserve equal praise. Each team member played a crucial role in creating the perfect experience for our guests. The seamless coordination and flawless execution of the entire event are a testament to the staff's commitment to excellence.
Now, let's talk about the food! The culinary experience at Blackwall Barn & Lodge is nothing short of exceptional. Our guests are still raving about the delicious meal. The chefs truly know how to elevate the dining experience, and we couldn't be happier with our menu choices.
We wholeheartedly recommend The Blackwall Barn & Lodge for any couple looking to create lasting memories on their wedding day. Allison, Katie, and the entire staff turned our dreams into reality, and for that, we are forever grateful. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, thanks to the exceptional team at The Blackwall Barn & Lodge.

The venue itself was amazing. We choose this venue because of its beautiful aesthetics and minimum decorating we would need. Allison went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went smoothly. We had to make last minute adjustments due to the weather, but they worked smoothly with my day of coordinators. Had nothing but great reviews for all our guest and vendors on how helpful everyone was the day off. -

Best Day Ever!
We had our Wedding Ceremony & Reception at the Blackwall Barn & Lodge, December of 2022. Christina + team at the lodge ensured our day went perfectly, our guests loved the food and the staff was helpful the entire day. From the time we booked to our wedding day, Christina went above and beyond to help organize and execute efforts for our food tasting, rehearsal, and multiple visits to the venue. We are so thankful to her and the entire staff at Blackwall Barn & Lodge.

Words cannot express how thankful my husband and I are to have hosted our reception at Blackwall Barn and Lodge. As a covid couple who had to reschedule, they were so flexible and accommodating. At no point were there any issues with adjusting spaces, numbers, food items, etc. Christine, their event coordinator, is an absolute gem and I genuinely enjoyed working with her. She calmed my nerves every step of the way. Guests could not stop raving out the beauty of the space, the service from the servers and most importantly, the food. Everyone said they would be back there for dinner. Do yourself a favor and book them! -

My wedding is set for 10/10/20. So far in the planning process, the Barn and Lodge has been an incredible venue to work with. We love Lara and all her staff. Very excited to see how the day turns out! -

We were so lucky to have Blackwall Barn & Lodge as our wedding venue. The planners made everything so easy, the food was amazing, and the space itself is just stunning. We didn't have to add much decor since it is already gorgeous, so instead we were able to spend those extra dollars on little touches that were personalized to my husband and I! The staff was so helpful and friendly, and the bartender literally ran over to our sweetheart table with a drink when he realized my husband had left his drink outside before the welcome toast. I would absolutely recommend this space to ANYONE! -

Engaged 2/19/18 | Wedding 9/21/19 | Guests: 118
Ceremony: Baltimore, MD | Reception: Gambrills, MD
After getting engaged, I started truly wedding planning Summer 2018. My husband and I were stationed in Germany and came home for a visit. We probably visited over 20 venues in MD & PA without finding “the one”. A few weeks later one of my bridesmaids let me know that they were opening a new reception venue in Gambrills, MD. After speaking to Lara (events coordinator) she was able to send me the renderings and keeping me posted on when they would start booking wedding receptions. My parents visited the venue October 1, 2018 and we submitted our deposit a few weeks later without even seeing it in person!
Lara had excellent communication skills despite my 6 hour time difference. She always kept me up to date and was able to accommodate face to face meetings when we were able to fly back to the US. We had our tasting and the food was absolutely delicious from Chef Joe & team! During this time Lara lets us know that she would be out on maternity leave but her assistant Corrine would be handling our event. Corrine was absolutely excellent and was able to work with us while we in the final weeks of planning.
Corrine & the BWBL staff really gelled well with my other vendors hired to make the reception set up and the event run seamlessly. The Cottage room (aka the war room) was a safe haven for me to privately talk to vendors, take a breath and even use the bathroom away from the hustle of the reception. The Barn (reception area) looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL and set up exactly to my vision. We arrived at 4PM to take Portrait photos out back before the cocktail hour/guest arrival started at 5PM.They went above and beyond with the service from the moment our guests started to arrive. My guests were raving about how beautiful the venue, how delicious the food was and how the drinks were FLOWING all night. Our wedding reception was absolutely perfect. A HUGE thank you to Carlos, Corrine, Lara, Chef Neal, Chef Joe and the entire BWBL staff who staffed our reception, we truly couldn’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done for us.

I cannot rate Blackwall Barn & Lodge highly enough. My husband and I were married there on January 5 and were their first large-scale wedding of approximately 140 guests. And yet, you would never have known. They are truly professionals, and you would think they had been doing this for years. Well, Lara, the event coordinator, *has* been doing it for years. She was so professional, and yet incredibly sweet, and made the whole process so smooth and easy. We barely had 4 months to plan the wedding, and yet the result simply floored both me and my husband, as well as all of the guests. First of all, the food was sublime. Of course, that was to be expected. Blackwall is also a restaurant, and every time I have eaten there, the food has been simply delicious. I have had my fair share of mediocre wedding food, but Blackwall is anything but that--we chose their cheapest menu option and yet it tasted like I was dining at a five-star restaurant. Some of our guests thought the sirloin steak was prime rib! The venue itself was gorgeous and looked like Joanna Gaines herself had decorated it. The dark floors, white paneled walls, and loft ceiling are crafted in a rustic style and are simply stunning. The staff was incredibly fast and attentive--they made me, my husband, and all of our guests feel like celebrities. The thing that impressed me most, though, was that my husband and I were actually able to enjoy our reception. We had heard from so many of our married friends that we wouldn't be able to enjoy our reception, we wouldn't have time to eat, we would just be talking to people the whole time, etc. And yet, we had plenty of time to eat and to stop by and chat with all of our guests, and my husband commented several times throughout how delicious the food was and how gorgeous the venue was. If I could, I would go back and relive my wedding day just for the reception. Who needs a summer wedding with a venue like Blackwall Barn & Lodge?! -
