Lock in 2026 ratesA venue that moves with you
Say your vows on the water. Dance with the city lit up around you.
Lady Thames is a private event venue on Baltimore's harbor. Your guests board once and the whole day unfolds on board: a ceremony on the open-air deck, cocktails at the bar as the sun goes down, dinner and dancing in a warm salon while the skyline turns slowly past the windows.
Captain and crew handle the water. You bring your people and your vision. We take care of the timing, and we can connect you with partners for florals, linens and rentals.

One boat, every moment
Four spaces. One seamless day.
No shuttles between venues and no guests left waiting. Each part of the day has its own room on board.
Cocktail hour
The upper salon bar
A full bar, high-top tables and wide windows, so guests can toast while the harbor glows.
The reception
The main salon
Enclosed and climate controlled, with room for dinner, toasts and a dance floor in any season.
A quiet moment
The lounge
A tucked-away corner for the two of you, the wedding party or a toast before the doors open.
Bring the florals. The skyline does the rest.
An intimate venue for 100 to 125 guests, where every guest has a seat, a window and a view.
More than the wedding day
Every part of the weekend, on the water.
The celebration starts before the vows and keeps going after. We host the events around your wedding too, and get your guests where they need to be.
Rehearsal dinners
A seated dinner on the water the night before, for the wedding party and family.
Welcome and cocktail receptions
Greet out-of-town guests with drinks and the skyline, or host a cocktail hour before the ceremony.
Bachelor and bachelorette parties
A private boat, your playlist and the harbor at night. Smaller boats fit smaller crews.
Engagement parties and photos
Celebrate the yes, or book a short cruise for portraits with the city behind you.
Wedding and baby showers
A daytime gathering on the water for the bride-to-be or the parents-to-be, with brunch, toasts and the harbor as the backdrop.
Plan the whole weekend with one team.

We move your guests, too.
Our water taxi fleet carries guests between hotels, the ceremony and the reception, from landings all around the Inner Harbor. One team plans the boats, the timing and the stops, so no one is left looking for a ride.
- Hotel to ceremony shuttlesPick up out-of-town guests near where they are staying and bring them to the boat.
- Ceremony to reception transfersGetting married on land? We bring everyone to Lady Thames for the party.
- Rehearsal and welcome nightsMove the wedding party between dinner, drinks and the hotel by water.
- Rides home after the last danceReturn trips to landings around the harbor when the night wraps up.
For smaller celebrations
Two more boats for the moments around the big one.
Not every part of the weekend needs the whole flagship. Our smaller boats bring the same crew and the same harbor to a smaller guest list.
