Holiday Party Venues in Baltimore

A holiday party at Stem & Vine is plant-filled rooms for 18 to 120 guests, with the bar in the building and every rate published.

Four sizes, one address

Pick the room by the guest list

Holiday party venues in Baltimore come down to headcount first. Stem & Vine has four sizes across three rentable event spaces in downtown Baltimore, all at 326 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD 21201. Each card shows what the room holds, whether it has a bar of its own and where the rental starts, so you can match a special event of 18 guests or 120 to its room.

All three of our spaces, exclusively yours. Cocktail receptions for 100 guests spread across every room, with the window running between 11am and 10pm.

The all-in number

What does a holiday party at Stem & Vine cost?

A holiday party for 25 guests in the Courtyard + Greenhouse costs $1,519.15 on a Sunday through Wednesday and $1,630.75 on a Thursday through Saturday, counting the room, a Signature bar package, the service charge and Maryland tax.

Party Sunday to WednesdaySun to Wed Thursday to SaturdayThu to Sat
25 guests Courtyard + Greenhouse, 3-hour rentalCourtyard + Greenhouse, 3 hr $1,519.15$60.77 per guest/guest $1,630.75Saturday, $65.23 per guest/guest

120 guests Full buyout of all three spaces, 6-hour windowFull buyout, 6 hr $8,175.60$68.13 per guest/guest $8,919.60Saturday, $74.33 per guest/guest

Every total counts the room at its minimum rental hours, a Signature bar package at $25 per guest, the 18% service charge and Maryland tax. Food isn't in these totals, because the caterer quotes it, whether it comes from the preferred caterer list or your own.

How these totals are worked out

The 18% service charge sits on both the room and the bar, and Maryland tax is 6% on the rental and 9% on the bar. Signature covers 4 hours of bar, so the buyout row adds 2 more cocktail hours at $7 per guest each. The Botany Bar, Garden and Gallery and the full buyout also carry a $200 refundable incidental hold. For any other room, guest count or day, the event cost calculator runs the same math.

Is a Sunday to Wednesday holiday party cheaper?

A Sunday through Wednesday holiday party costs less on every room: $111.60 less for 25 guests, $186.00 less for 40, and $744.00 less for a full buyout of 120. Street parking on Charles Street is free on Sundays as well.

A few details and we're done

Outside vendors are welcome. Anyone from our preferred list comes with no added fee, and vendors outside that list carry a $250 vendor fee plus a certificate of insurance before your event day.

Last part, how do we reach you?
Read the house rules

All beverages come through us. No outside alcohol, ever. Our bar team pours everything.

Food comes from our preferred caterer list, or from your own caterer with a $250 vendor fee and a certificate of insurance.

Your window is your window. Setup and breakdown happen inside it. Anything past 10pm carries a late night rate, and every event ends by midnight.

No open flames, so no candles, hookah, smoke bombs, powder cannons, gender reveal devices, heating appliances, or ice sculptures. Smoking and vaping stay outside.

No confetti, glitter, or foil, and no balloons with confetti inside. Regular balloons are welcome and get popped indoors rather than released outside.

Nothing goes on the walls, and nothing covers or touches the art.

Not permitted: drugs, adult entertainment, sitting or standing on the bar, tattooing, and bounce houses.

Photo shoots are booked, never walk-in. A shoot is its own booking with its own rate.

The full list lands in your proposal and again in your confirmation, so nothing here is a surprise later.

The company holiday party

A company holiday party your finance team can approve once

A company holiday party for 18 to 120 people fits one of the four rooms at Stem & Vine, an event venue where the rate, the bar and the payment schedule are published before anyone signs.

An office party of 18 takes the Stem Room, a team of 40 settles into the gallery wing, and a whole company of 120 books the buyout. Two events can run in our event spaces at once, because the gallery wing and the courtyard each have a room and a bar of their own.

Finance teams comparing event venues in Baltimore get the whole schedule up front. A signed agreement and a deposit of 30% of your total or $100, whichever is greater, hold the date. The rest arrives as two equal auto-pay installments, the last one 15 days before the party, and the service charge and Maryland tax each get their own line in your proposal.

  • Rooms for 18, 30, 75 or 120 guests
  • Deposit of 30% or $100, final payment 15 days out
  • Service charge and tax on their own lines

The same rooms take corporate events like client mixers, cocktail receptions and retirement send-offs, booked on the same terms as the holiday party. For offsites, trainings or any other corporate gathering, see our corporate event venue in Baltimore.

Friends and family

Holiday parties for friends and family

A holiday party for friends and family, whether you call it a Christmas party or an end-of-year dinner, fits the Courtyard + Greenhouse, up to 30 guests with a bar and an entrance of its own, from $585 for the 3-hour minimum.

A seated dinner for up to 18 takes the Stem Room, from $250 for the 2-hour minimum. Both rooms rent at the same published rates a company pays. The Stem Room has no bar of its own, while the courtyard can run a cash bar or a hosted package for private gatherings.

The same rooms suit birthday parties, showers and anniversary dinners the rest of the year, and the party venue in Baltimore page covers them.

Something to do

What can the group do besides stand around?

Holiday parties at Stem & Vine can add a hands-on class or a guided wine flight to the event space you book, priced per person on top of the room.

Botanical mixology class

Herbalist Brittany Williams of Eudemonia Herbs leads a cocktail making class in Baltimore for groups of 8 or more. Over about 90 minutes, each guest builds two botanical drinks from herbs, teas, syrups and citrus, then goes home with a bag of recipes, herb samples and reference materials. The zero-proof version is $55 per person, and the version with spirits, for guests 21 and over, is $60.

Guided wine flight

A guided wine flight is the lighter choice. Three wines you won't find in the package come out in sequence while someone walks the room through each one, at $13 per guest on top of a hosted bar package.

Brittany also leads herbal wellness workshops at $50 per person, including Unwind, a session on stress and relaxation. Every class is added to a booked room, so the room is priced separately. At a company party, any of the three also works for team building in Baltimore.

The bar

How does the bar work at a holiday party?

Every booking with bar access picks one beverage option, and hosted packages run from private gatherings of 10 guests to a corporate gathering of 120. Signature at $25 per guest is the place to start, and Reserve at $45 turns it into a full open bar.

Client Select Premiumfrom $55per guest

Specific brands, sourced for your party.

Signature pours two beers, red, white and sparkling wine, two signature cocktails, two spirits, a zero-proof selection, water and soda for the first 4 hours, and if the cocktail hours run long, each extra hour is $7 per guest. Reserve picks its wines and spirits for quality over familiar labels.

The bar centers Black-owned and women-owned makers, many of them based in and around Baltimore, Maryland, and the wines and spirits are shelved by region, the same way the plants are.

Corporate events and private parties choose from the same packages. Cash bars suit cocktail parties where guests pick their own drinks, and the host commits to a beverage minimum of $500 for 21 to 40 guests, $1,000 for 41 to 75, and $1,000 to $1,750 on a buyout, depending on the day. Every drink counts toward it, alcoholic or not, and every drink comes through our bar team, because outside alcohol isn't permitted.

  • Champagne toast, $6 per guest on top of a package
  • Coffee and tea service, $3 per guest
Food and decorations

Can we bring food and decorations?

Food for a special event here comes from the preferred caterer list, quoted by the caterer, or from your own caterer with a $250 vendor fee and a certificate of insurance.

Decorate the way you like within the house rules, which keep out candles and open flames, confetti, glitter and foil, and anything fixed to the walls or touching the art. Regular balloons are welcome too, and they get popped inside.

Everything comes in through the front entrance on Charles Street, and you carry it in yourself, so a second pair of hands helps when the trunk is full. Setup and breakdown happen inside your rental window, and every event ends by midnight. At the end of the night, tied trash bags go by the front door and our staff take them out.

Holiday party questions

Before you hold the date

How much does a holiday party at Stem & Vine cost?

A holiday party for 25 guests in the Courtyard + Greenhouse costs $1,519.15 on a Sunday through Wednesday and $1,630.75 on a Thursday through Saturday, with a Signature bar package, the 18% service charge and Maryland tax all counted. Private parties and corporate events book from the same published rates, food is separate, and the event cost calculator prices any other room, guest count or day.

Do you book holiday parties in December?

Yes. Stem & Vine books private holiday parties through December, for companies and for friends and family, in every room from the Stem Room to a full buyout. Send your date and guest count through the form to see what's open.

How many guests fit in each room?

Stem & Vine hosts holiday parties in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, in four sizes. The Stem Room takes up to 18 guests, the Courtyard + Greenhouse up to 30, and the Botany Bar, Garden and Gallery up to 75. A full buyout makes all three of our event spaces exclusively yours for up to 120 guests, the capacity confirmed on our certificate. All four share one address, so a host comparing event venues can see them in a single tour.

How much does a holiday party for 50 guests cost?

A holiday party for 50 guests in the Botany Bar, Garden and Gallery costs $2,796.50 on a Sunday through Wednesday and $2,982.50 on a Thursday through Saturday, for a 3-hour rental with a Signature bar package, the 18% service charge and Maryland tax counted. That comes to $55.93 to $59.65 per guest before food, plus a $200 refundable incidental hold. The Courtyard + Greenhouse tops out at 30 guests, which is why a special event this size takes the larger room.

What should we compare across holiday party venues?

Comparing holiday party venues starts with capacity, then the bar, then the all-in cost. When you weigh event venues in Baltimore, check whether the quote includes the service charge and tax, whether the rental window covers setup and breakdown, and whether a bar comes with the room. Here the window covers setup and breakdown, every rate is published, and the Courtyard + Greenhouse and the Botany Bar, Garden and Gallery each have their own bar.

What activities can we add to a company holiday party?

A company holiday party at Stem & Vine can add a botanical mixology class with herbalist Brittany Williams for groups of 8 or more, at $55 per person zero-proof or $60 with spirits, or a guided wine flight at $13 per guest on top of a hosted bar package. Brittany also leads herbal wellness workshops at $50 per person. Each one is added to a booked room, any of them works as team building, and the cocktail making class in Baltimore page has the details.

Is there a non-alcoholic option for guests who skip alcohol?

A holiday party bar at Stem & Vine includes zero-proof drinks. The Signature package at $25 per guest carries a zero-proof selection alongside beer, wine, signature cocktails and spirits. On a cash bar, zero-proof drinks count toward the beverage minimum like any other, so the guests who skip alcohol still help the host clear it.

Which decorations are allowed at a holiday party?

A holiday party at Stem & Vine can decorate within the house rules. Candles and open flames stay out of the building, and so do confetti, glitter and foil. Nothing goes on the walls or touches the art. Regular balloons are fine, as long as they're popped indoors and never released outside.

How late can a holiday party run?

A holiday party at Stem & Vine can run until midnight, which is the hard stop on every event. Time after 10pm bills at the room's hourly rate plus $50 on any day, and a full buyout's 6-hour window runs between 11am and 10pm, with extra time after 10pm at $300 per hour.

How do we hold a date for a holiday party?

Holding a date for your special event at Stem & Vine takes a signed agreement and a paid deposit, since a signature alone holds nothing. The deposit is 30% of your total or $100, whichever is greater. The balance is split into two equal auto-pay payments, and the second is due 15 days before the party.

Can two parties run in the building at the same time?

Two parties can run at once at Stem & Vine. The Botany Bar, Garden and Gallery runs along one side of a central hallway, the Courtyard + Greenhouse sits at the back with its own entrance, and each pours from its own bar, so corporate events and family parties can share the building on the same night.
