Intimate Baltimore Weddings Filled with Charm and Romance
Intimate Baltimore weddings are perfect for couples who dream of celebrating their love surrounded only by their nearest and dearest. Instead of planning a large, elaborate affair, many are choosing a more private and meaningful experience. To explore how couples can bring this vision to life, we turned to Danielle Hanscom of Maryland’s Brampton Inn. Known for its intimate wedding packages, the inn offers the perfect setting for couples who want a cozy, low-key celebration without sacrificing elegance or charm.

Small Baltimore Weddings with Personal Touches
Why Couples Choose Small Celebrations
In our experience, there are many reasons why a Baltimore couple might choose the route of an intimate wedding. Often, one or both partners have been married before and don’t feel the need for the kind of large-scale wedding they might have had the first time around. Sometimes, couples opt for a small wedding because their friends and family are spread out across the country or even the world. And gathering everyone is difficult. Cost can also play a major role, as limiting the guest list makes it easier to stretch a budget. Even complicated family dynamics can come into play as a motivation for planning something smaller.
Baltimore Weddings Focused on Connection
Creating Space for Meaningful Moments
Although a smaller guest list means leaving many people without invitations, intimate weddings often reflect what couples value most. Many invite just parents, siblings, and a few close friends, creating a truly personal atmosphere. Guests enjoy a closeness and sense of being part of the ceremony that can be difficult to achieve in larger weddings.

Choosing Your Perfect Ceremony Spot
One unique benefit of intimate weddings is flexibility. With fewer guests, couples at the Brampton can make last-minute decisions about where on the property they’d like to exchange vows. Some have married in open meadows, under the old beech tree, on the wrap-around porch during rainy weather, or even in the formal parlor. Changing locations takes very little time. Despite their size, intimate weddings here can be as formal or as casual as the couple wishes—they are always relaxed and stress-free affairs.

A Celebration for Two
The Brampton also offers an elopement package, designed for couples who want a ceremony just for themselves. Cutting out the guest list altogether, elopements provide a personal and romantic experience without the stress of planning a large event. Many couples marry at the inn in a private ceremony, then celebrate with family and friends at a later date.
Intimate Baltimore Weddings as a Reflection of Love
A Meaningful Beginning
While intimate weddings aren’t for everyone, for some couples they are the perfect reflection of their vows. Whether it’s a small gathering or an elopement for two, these celebrations are a beautiful way to begin a life together focused on love, simplicity, and meaning.
