Reviews for Royal Sonesta Harbor Court
GUEST




For our May wedding we blocked rooms for our hotel guests and for the wedding party to get ready. The hotel staff was amazing and I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get ready in and to stay at the night of our wedding. The hotel truly treats you like royalty! If you want to use the hotel for a wedding please contact Margaret Chua; she is amazing!

Great hotel for out of town guests. Perfect location and the entire staff was exceptional.
GUEST




We blocked rooms at the Royal Sonesta for our guests and families and stayed there as well. The hotel is beautiful and the staff could not have been any more attentive and helpful to us and our guests. We had a stunning junior suite in which my bridesmaids and I got dressed and it was a perfect size and lovely space in which to spend time. We also took all of our posed pictures at the hotel and it makes a gorgeous backdrop for photos. Margaret on the sales team was very helpful to work with leading up to the wedding. She even helped my MIL plan a special kids friendly menu for our nieces and nephews who stayed back at the hotel during our rehearsal dinner. We and our families had such a wonderful weekend staying at the Royal Sonesta and I highly recommend staying there...and can't wait to go back! We could not believe how reasonable the special room block rate was for the quality of the hotel.

The Royal Sonesta Harbor Court was the PERFECT place for my husband and I to have our wedding. They were extremely accommodative (taking down decorations that we didn't like, giving us free reign of several ballrooms, giving all of our guests an extremely flexible discount block) and had a vast amount of expertise that we relied upon. The hotel has a nice antiquated feel that I was looking for...it was the only venue I came across that had this feel. The food was absolutely incredible. My husband still has cravings for the steak. Jay is an incredible, extremely detail-oriented wedding coordinator. He was so flexible in accommodating our crazy schedules as well. I would recommend Royal Sonesta Harbor Court to everyone.
GUEST




I can think of no better venue that perfectly captures the sometimes hidden elegance of classic Baltimore. From the grand staircase to the scenes of old Maryland that line the walls with countless pieces of exquisite artwork, the Harbor Court hotel is one of the crown jewels of the Inner Harbor. It has ceremony & reception spaces that give incomparable views of the Harbor itself, especially for an evening wedding like ours. But the beauty of the space is easily trumped by the skill and care exhibited by the hotel staff. Their support, knowledge, and ability to respond to both our needs and the needs of our guests was unparalleled. And where do I even begin about the catering? The quality of the food was beyond words. The Sonesta truly made our biggest day one for the ages.
GUEST




We absolutely adored having our wedding at the Royal Sonesta. The staff was so kind, accommodating and friendly to all of our guests and the food ended up being amazing the night of the wedding. We had been nervous given the shift in management, but there was nothing to be nervous about - the hotel did a great job.

The Intercontinental Harbor Court Hotel in Baltimore Maryland helped me to make my brunch wedding fabulous. The hotel was accomodating in every way I needed them to be. They upgraded the hotel rooms for me and my husband, his mom and my parents to harbor view room. The ceremony and reception went smoothly. The food was wonderful. Last but not least Scotlyn Campanella, the catering special events manager was AMAZING. She kept everything in order. There was never a task that she couldn't handle.

Working on my wedding with Scotlyn Campanella and her staff at Harbor Court was a pure joy. She went out of her way to attend to my every request! My guests had a wonderful experience at Harbor Court. It was elegant and warm. Scotlyn and Harbror Court made me feel that my wedding day was the most important day on their hotel calendar. I highly recommend Harbor Court; and JJ Cummings Florist who worked so well with Scotlyn to make the room beautiful!
GUEST




It was 5 star service all the way! Scotlyn, the event director, was wonderful and helpful during the entire planning process and extremely helpful the day of. Lynette, the Head Maitre d, is a dream, making sure my husband and I had everything we needed before we needed it, my parents were taken care of, and my in-laws were happy. The food was one of the reasons we booked with the Intercontinental, and it certainly did not disappoint! The hors d'oeuvres were fantastic, and the full dinner was first class all the way! I couldn't have been more pleased with the entire event! Thank you to the entire staff for a wonderful day!
GUEST




Scotlyn and the whole Harbor Court team treated us like royalty!
I had my 60th last year there and everyone couldn't believe how fabulous it was then. This wedding was for grandparents only, so it was 13 people. It was so elegant and warm. The bride and groom were thrilled as we the parents were. Thanks to Scotlyn and the team.
Fondly,
Barbara Weiss
ps your scones are amazing!!
GUEST




We had a great experience with the Intercontinental! The venue is beautiful, staff is professional and very attentive. We loved having a wedding coordinator at the hotel, she was amazing, made us feel like we were the only event going on. Everything was perfect. Would absolutely recommend this venue!!!
GUEST




We had a wonderful experience planning our daughter's recent wedding at the Harbor Court InterContinental Hotel. All of staff at the hotel were highly professional and extremely accommodating to all of our needs. I particularly want to recognize Scotlyn Campanella, event coordinator, at the InterContinental for her professionalism, creativity and responsiveness in ensuring every moment of the weekend ran smoothly and was enjoyed by all.
GUEST




The InterContinental wedding package we chose included everything we needed and if it did not 'work' for us, the team was flexible to meet our needs. There were so many things to consider and they made sure it was a world class experience for our guests. Their preferred vendors are familiar with the venue which made planning and coordination much easier.
GUEST




One of the best decisions that we made was booking the Intercontinental Harbor Court Hotel for our wedding reception. From the moment we first met with Harbor Court, we knew that we wouldn't be disappointed. They were so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process and I did not spend one second worrying on my wedding day that something wouldn't be taken care of. The hotel itself is beautiful and allows for amazing picture opportunities. And the hotel bar is the perfect location to continue the celebration after the reception ends. We had such an amazing experience and I would recommend Harbor Court to any bride looking for the perfect reception site!
GUEST




My daughter was married and the reception and the morning after breakfast was held at the InterContinental Harbor Court Hotel in Baltimore MD. Where do I start to tell you how great it was to be at this hotel. The service is impeccable. Everyone from the valet and the front desk to the bartenders were ALL very polished and professional. I could not have asked for any more than what they provided to us during and after the reception. The rooms and the hotel personnel you deal with are top rate. I travel around the world and am involved with events annually. This hotel produced the finest event that I have ever seen. You won't be disappointed if you choose the InterContinental Harbor Court Hotel. I promise.
PS. I utilized all of the approved vendors of the hotel. All were top of the line but Dale the florist ROCKS!
GUEST




Jeff and his team were able to take all of my ideas and suggestions without blinking an eye, and they did them perfectly. From floral arrangements, DJ placement and gift detail everything was done seamlessly. I had no worries and Jeff catered personally to me and my husband the entire night.
The General Manager Arpad truly made our stay memorable with room service, drink service and room upgrades with personal touches; making our special day all the more special. I highly recommend the InterContinental Harbor Court Baltimore as a wedding venue.
GUEST




Our wedding ceremony and reception at the Intercontinental on January 8th was more beautiful and perfect than we ever could have imagined. The hotel is gorgeous and has a classy and elegant feel - a complete difference from some other hotel venues that tend to have that sterile, corporate look. We did a lot of searching but knew after our first visit that this was where we wanted to have our special day.
Katie Shannon, the hotel's wedding coordinator was fabulous! She helped us with every detail and made herself available to us throughout the entire planning process. We knew that we were in good hands with Katie and the rest of the Intercontinental staff after our initial meeting. Everyone we met and worked with was courteous, professional, and helpful. Katie also helped us to customize our wedding so that it really fit our personalities. Details like our ice luge and signature specialty cocktails are just a few examples. On the day of the wedding, Katie was completely calm and composed and made sure that everything ran smoothly. No request we made of her seemed too great and she always responded to us quickly with answers to all our questions.
The food was fantastic. There is a large selection of meal options to choose from and the hotel is extremely accommodating when it comes to customizing the menu. Our guests raved about the spread that we had for the cocktail hour, as well as the dinner and the cake.
Even for couples on a budget, the Intercontinental has packages to choose from that can make the wedding of your dreams possible. The value for what you spend at the Intercontinental far exceeds what other venues in the Baltimore area have to offer. You really feel that your wedding is their top priority, no matter how many other events they have going on.
Our wedding was everything that we hoped it would be and more. Looking back, I wouldn't have changed a thing - especially not the venue. There is no better place in Baltimore to have the special wedding of your dreams.
GUEST




Our event was a complete success due to the fantastic assisstance of Katie Shanon.
Katie was there to help us decide on everything, from the main event to the brunch the following morning. She treated my entire family as a wonderful friend, while still remaining very professional.
I would recommed her services due to the dedication of her job and her genuine desire to see her clients happy. She is perfect....and no, I am not her mother! Just a very pleased client that knows great service.
GUEST




I am not one to give perfect ratings to everything and before the current Catering Specialists came on board my scores would have been quite lower. However, she was incredible to work with. She helped me pull my wedding together in a matter of weeks and it was more than I could have ever hoped for. Additionally, the hotel is gorgeous and unique.
GUEST




Having our wedding reception at the Intercontinental Harbor Court Hotel in Baltimore, MD was the best decision! The hotel and ballrooms are so beautiful. The hotel rooms were comfortable and luxorious. Our guests all loved it there and are still talking about our how they loved our reception!
Our wedding coordinator Katie Shannon was such a big help. She was prompt in her response time either through email or by phone. She everything to go above and beyond our expectations!
Having Josean Rosado as our Chef was awesome! The food was so delicious and beautifully presented at dinner. All the hotel's staff from the doorman to the waiters at our reception were friendly, and helpful. They made everyone feel at home from the moment you arrive.
Any bride that chooses to have their reception here will be in for a real treat!
GUEST




Great customer service! They made sure that all my needs were met and the service was great!
GUEST




The Harbor Court Hotel caught my eye 12 years ago when I was briefly there for lunch and I decided right then that I wanted to get married there. All these years later I finally had that opportunity! It is a truly beautiful venue. The main floor and the reception floor are not cookie-cutter hotel. It looks more like someone's stately mansion. It is a very classy place. The wedding coordinator did everything we asked for and accommodated our wishes with the menu and the wedding package. The waitstaff at the wedding was very helpful. We received many compliments on the quality of the food at the wedding. Upon arriving, I was upgraded to a very luxurious suite for the night before and after the wedding. I would highly recommend the Harbor Court for a Baltimore wedding.
GUEST




I had a wonderful experience having my wedding here. The hotel is gorgeous! The wedding coordinator, Meghan, could not have been any easier to work with. She said yes to everything I asked for...the best customer service ever!! She was always on top of everything and very responsive. She coordinated everything that went on at the hotel as well as communicated with my vendors to make sure everything went perfectly on my wedding day. The food was absolutely delicious, the service during the reception was wonderful and the flow of the night was seamless. I was so happy with everything!!!
GUEST




During the planning time of my wedding, their sales contact changed and they revised their menus. However, the transition was virtually seamless and we were able to keep all of our originally negotiated menu options and prices. The second salesperson was even better than the first and was calm and collected while guiding us through all of the details of planning that day. Everyone loved the venue and a great reception was had. Food was delicious as well! Would recommend to anyone looking for a classy and experienced place to have their event.
GUEST




We rented a suite and a small block of rooms for the weekend at this hotel, with the plan that our wedding would actually be in the suite followed by a brief cocktail reception after which we would host a dinner party in a nearby restaurant. The hotel was beautiful, the services were great, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, and it a big however, it was extremely difficult getting even the most basic information over the telephone prior to the wedding (including whether the hotel accepted Discover Card for payment - I was transfered three times and eventually had to call the main 1-800 number for the entire chain.) Similarly, a friend who called ahead to buy me a spa treatment was transferred many times and after two hours of phone calls, simply drove to the hotel and purchased it. I can't quite figure out what the big problem is between on-site and by phone, but it definitely exists. We completely enjoyed our experience, but we had a great deal of worry prior to the wedding date. If you have enough stress already, you might want to think twice about this.
GUEST




We used the InterContinental Hotel for our out of town guests. We put down a block of 15 rooms, and if we didn't use all 15 we wouldn't be charged for them. I had a huge suite the night of the rehearsal dinner, and the night after the wedding. Three of my bridesmaids used the rooms, and my aunt used another. The concierge and restaurant were exceptional with helping my MOH - she surprised me with a huge spread of cheeses, cookies, fruit, champagne, etc. for the morning of my wedding. The sales team contacted me about a week before to see if we wanted them to place any out of town bags in the rooms, and to make sure they had all of our information they could give our guests (if asked). The sales team was a little difficult to get a hold of, but with how they acted the actual days we were there I would say everything was perfect.
Harbor Court Hotel has been the most iconic venue of Baltimore for years. Now, the Royal Sonesta ownership will add to it's lustre. The service and food has always been first-rate. As an experienced wedding and event photographer, I am very familiar with all the major venues in the area and I give my highest recommendation to Royal Sonesta Harbor Court.
We absolutely love photographing clients at the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court. From the elegant rooms, staircase and well appointed rooms, shooting there makes our work easy. Add to this the easy proximity to the Inner Harbor and you have all the perfect back drops for gorgeous bride and groom shots, fun bridal party and elegant family portraits. And, best of all, the Harbor Court's amazing service and incredible cuisine help create beautiful, gorgeous events.
The Harbor Court is a Baltimore institution when it comes to weddings, and with good reason - it's a fabulous venue with a breathtaking view of the inner harbor. We've done dozens of weddings there over the years and everything from the food to the staff is top-notch. Highly recommend!
Harbor Court is a beautiful venue for your wedding. My clients Mary & Adam got married there and were so thrilled with how their reception came together. The photos of the room were beautiful and there are so many different spaces to work with. Katie was so helpful to both Mary & I as we planned the reception & hospitality needs of her wedding. Take a tour - its so worth your time!
Love the venue. Treats everyone with class!
Katie was wonderful to work with as well as everyone else at the InterContinental Harbor Court. Over the top accommodating. I hope to photograph there again soon!
