Services
The simple elegance of traditional gothic architecture. The gardens! The convenience of your wedding ceremony and reception in the same place. Everything you could want for your wedding, with solid, experienced professional support from planning to last dance. Chase Court specializes in small weddings.
We host a lot of elopement ceremonies (also known as micro-weddings) at Chase Court. In fact, we've won awards for them! We've been offering elopement packages for twelve years. We've learned a lot over that time about what works and what doesn't, and what our couples want and need. Oh, and the best thing?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

I'm giving Chase Court 4 stars because it is a absolutely beautiful venue. My husband and I had our wedding there 2 weeks ago. We got had the elopement package with a cocktail reception. And while I wish we could have had more time but it was perfect. Now while I did not witness this first hand some of the stuff that David did was not cool in my book. He kept coming in the brides room over and over while we were trying to get ready. I also had someone tell me that he locked himself in the library so that no one would go in until after the ceremony. He also was putting chairs away while we

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

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

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

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

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

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

Chase Court was the most amazing venue for my husband and my wedding! As soon as I saw the place in person I just knew it was where I wanted to get married. It looks like a little fairytale secret garden tucked in such a great location close to downtown. David, the owner of the venue was always helpful, kind and enthusiastic with my husband and I.
The space has two outside areas, both gorgeous. The first is the entrance garden, a lovely outdoor walkway with tree branches overhead creating a hallway effect. A blooming tree next to a striking red door and vine covered stone walls complete the picture

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
