Walldorff Ballroom is a wedding venue located in Hastings, Michigan. This establishment is a family-owned-and-operated business that produces American-style food, brews, and specialty wood-fired pizzas. They have been serving up fantastic dishes since 2006, making use of the 150-year-old building that they are located in. The restaurant is on the third floor, decorated in Victorian-era-themed elements. Custom, hand-crafted brews are concocted for a wedding event, made to reflect the tastes of the betrothed couple. There are plenty of options for wedding packages, and the entire menu can be personalized to suit the occasion. Should a couple be interested in only using the one-of-a-kind space, outside catering is permitted on the premises.

Facilities and Capacity

This venue boasts room for up to 180 individuals. Tables, chairs, and service are all included in their basic package, along with many other delightful perks. Arched floor-to-ceiling windows bestow rivets of light upon the interior of the ballroom, reflecting off of the pristine white columns that divide the space. The walls are lined with vertical-striped wallpaper, colored in rouge and contributing a Victorian essence to any event.

Services Offered

Walldorff Ballroom knows that coordinating a wedding is traditionally a time-consuming process, oftentimes leaving people feeling overwhelmed. To ease this, they offer an event coordinator that guides their clients to clean, simple, and fitting solutions to their qualms. Whether it's only vendor referrals or robust and intricate event design, Walldorff Ballroom shoulders the responsibility. After receiving a personal tour of the space, the couple will take part in a consultation with the coordinator, setting all the cogs in place to start the countdown to the event.

History

This business' history is traced back to 1866, when William Barlow, John Goodyear, and James Sweezy bought what would come to be known as the Empire Block. Records that date back to the 1800s indicate that the building was used for public events and retail spaces. The Walldorffs became involved vis-a-vis purchasing a portion of the building and eventually operating a furniture business as a family endeavor. In 1983, Phil Walldorf completed a renovation that inspired a Historical Building Award. Finally, in 2006, the building became what it is today.
