Edward A. Garmatz United States District Courthouse

With its modern lines, clean architecture, and views of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, the Edward A. Garmatz United States District Courthouse offers a unique and surprisingly elegant setting for courthouse weddings. The building’s sleek façade and understated design create a minimalist backdrop that feels fresh, refined, and distinctly urban. For couples wanting something simple yet impactful, the courthouse’s contemporary aesthetic makes it easy to keep the focus where it belongs—on love and connection.

Inside, the natural light filtering through large windows gives the space a calm, almost cinematic quality. It’s a favorite for intimate elopements and low-key ceremonies that don’t need much to feel meaningful. And being just steps away from scenic waterfront spots and downtown landmarks means couples can step outside after saying “I do” and capture a variety of portraits without ever leaving the neighborhood. It’s effortless, beautiful, and full of modern charm.
