Belvedere & Co. Events

This is by far the worst establishment I've ever worked out as a vendor in 21 years of djing. the most disrespectful and disgusting people I've ever encountered in my entire life. Never have I ever been into a place or genuinely felt like people who were attending the event as guests could effectively run the establishment better than those who are actually paid to do this. Poor attitude, deplorable demeanor and with out a doubt The worst place I've ever worked. and I have played all over the country.

Attended a wedding here. Beautiful set up friendly staff. Would suggest as a wedding venue.

This review is for 13 Floor at the Belvedere..... Let me start with the biscuits were the only thing exceptional about this establishment. The service was below acceptable, the servicer on a few occasions forgot our order. We had to ask for the manager which wasn't any better, she ended the conversation with "say less", I had to laugh because I couldn't believe it. The service is below industry standards and I will not return.

I could not have imagined a more beautiful place to get married. Living in the neighborhood, I thought I would only be able to dream of getting married here and it really is amazing how this dream came true. Their event planning style was perfect for us. Venue, catering, event coordinators and a planning guide all included together which made every step of the process a breeze. The organization among all of the event coordinators was incredible. They all really made us feel like family from the moment we first toured until we packed up our final things at the end of the reception. One ongoing perk we will surely take advantage of is the lifetime VIB discount at the Owl Bar! Incredibly professional and an organization that really knows what they are doing. Would love to do it all over again! The 13th floor is now only open for private events but I say it's a perfect opportunity to host an amazing party!

This review is for 13th floor brunch. Our server Judy was excellent and provided amazing service! Super friendly and knowledgeable and really made us feel welcome. The food was also delicious, I highly recommend the fried green tomato and crab eggs Benedict. The prices seemed fair for the quality and quantity of food. Of course you can't beat the view!

I read these positive reviews before booking and was incredibly disappointed to have a different experience. Future brides; and please read our warning and save yourself the disappointment. Venue specific feedback: It was incredibly hot and humid inside the building. One of the main reasons we chose this venue was because we wanted to be out of the heat but everyone ended up sweating bullets because apparently the building i/ too old to cool properly. They didn't even have the air on in the parlor suite where we got ready so makeup was melting off as it was being applied. We were incredibly uncomfortable and the humidity turned my hair into a frizzy mess that was super frustrating. I would absolutely not recommend a summer event at the Belvedere for that reason. It has all the drawbacks of an outdoor space with none of the benefits. Reception specific feedback:I paid around $600 for fruit and cheese displayed appetizer and multiple guests got rotten berries. Strawberries with obvious ugly brown spots. I thought my friend must be mistaken but then I went over and I got rotten fruit too. I would never serve that in my home and was incredibly disappointed to serve it at our wedding.We paid around 600 for a single baked Brie en croute pastry that our guests had to cut themselves. I'm assuming it wasn't sliced because then it would have been even more obvious that that isn't 40 servings. We had small plates fish and short rib for the dinner portion. I was charged for each guest to have one of each but when they went to be served the server made them choose beef or fish giving guests the impression they could only have one. They should have been in offered beef fish or both that's what I paid for. I paid for double the food that guests were actually offered. I also paid for two attendants but every time I looked over, there was only one. There was a bunch of nickel and diming over petty things. Example: the microphone for the ceremony and reception was an additional rental fee of $75 each. I was charged $200 for a table for dessert (that we had already paid the baker to set up). At that point just raise the venue rental fee with the initial quote. I don't want to deal with petty charges like that. I had enough to think about. I was happy on my wedding day. I'll have good memories of my wedding, but I would absolutely never recommend this venue to anyone. Maybe our 13k fee wasn't big enough for them to bring out the 5 star experience but our wedding was hot sticky and just generally below expectation.

Thank you for hosting our 50th Wedding Anniversary Renewal Celebration on Sunday, November 19, 2023. We commend the entire staff for their excellence in making our celebration unforgettable. The Palm Ballroom was beautifully decorated and arranged for our party of nineteen. Our guests commented on the excellent meal, which was served with elegance. The Historic Belvedere was the perfect venue for such an important moment in our lives. We are delighted to recommend The Belvedere & Co. to others looking for a venue to host an event.

I had my son's engagement at this venue. The 13th floors' view is spectacular. My issues were: communication with the party coordinators is very difficult. They charge a ton of fees on everything, including taxing the $2,000 venue fee. They also charge a 23% service charge on the top of the bill. When asked what that paid for, I was told the staffing. I had to pay at least $175 for each staff member, including someone to dip our ice cream for the dessert bar, so the staffing was paid for...CRAZY!!! The bar staffing (which I paid extra for additional bartenders) were rude, abrupt and downright ignorant to my guests. THE STATION FOOD WAS HORRIBLE...and expensive. The sliders were dry and cold (all 4 kinds); we ran out of bread for the crab dip and they refused to bring more; the dry rub chicken wings were like having a mouth full of powder. The butlered food was better but not worth the $$$. I would stay away from this place for an event. Like I said, the view was nice but it is certainly not worth the $$$. Just visit the Owl Bar.

Views: Best in BaltimoreFood: DeliciousDrinks: Flowing and generousMy brunch at the Belvedere 13th Floor was one I'll never forget. Our server, Julianne, was knowledgeable about the hotel's history and was there for our every want (before we even knew we wanted it!). The food was delicious (highly recommend the ham and brie panini, to die for!)Come here if you want great service, delicious food, and a luxury feel without the luxury price. One of my favorite days in Baltimore so far.

Anyone looking to have their wedding, party, or any type of social event, DO NOT HAVE IT AT THE BELVEDERE & Co. This place is a rip off. I held my daughter's graduation party, June 2023, on the 13th floor. The venue spaces are beautiful but the food is horrible. When I say horrible, I mean HORRIBLE. I chose to serve Butlered Horsd'Oeuvres and have Stir-Fry Action Station. The hot foods were cold and the portion size was small. I know one is saying, "Horsd'Oeuvres were served and they are miniature in size." My food items were undersized. In addition, do not expect homemade food. The food served was frozen purchased at your corner grocery store.* Miniature Crab Cakes - They certainly were miniature. My guests were served a pea size something.* Tempura Shrimp - They were cold and they didn't serve the amount I paid for. On top of that, the bartender was eating my food.* Salmon & Asparagus Enrooted - This food item was okay but cold.* Crispy Cauliflower Lollipop- This food item was okay but cold* Chick Stay - It seemed like the chef took the small chicken skewer out of the freezer and placed them on a serving tray.The Stir-Fry Action Station was served with bird's eye mixed vegetables with no rice or noodles. Anybody knows, stir-fry dish is served with rice or noodles. In addition, the vegetables were cold. One of my guests put a piece of broccoli in a server's hand so they could feel the temperature of the food. Also, the food wasn't replenished in a timely fashion. My guests had to wait at least 25 minutes before the cook was given more bird's eye mixed vegetables. I was so embarrassed and hurt. I am supposed to be enjoying my daughter's celebration, but I am running around speaking with cooks and the manager about the food. Being known as an event venue, I thought the Belvedere would but on a stellar event. They should have been prepared to host a gathering of only fifty people. Mind you, the venue is very costly and they charge for everything. I definitely will not be using the venue for any other celebrations nor am I going to suggest the venue to family and friends.
