History
The history of the Chandelier Ballroom spans over eight decades. Originally built as an Eagles clubhouse and park, it was purchased by the Schwartz Brewing Company in 1919. By 1920, it had begun its life as a place of entertainment and excitement. The ballroom became the largest dance hall in the area when it was built in 1928. Soon, many clubs and organizations were using the Chandelier Ballroom for their meetings and events. Eventually, the era of big bands and dance halls ended, changing the type of people that came and went through the ballroom. By 1955 the Chandelier Ballroom had music again. It has seen the likes of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Cheap Trick and many other musicians. Today, it stands as a mark of the history Hartford has seen.

Excellent!

I’ve worked multiple weddings at Chandelier Ballroom, and it’s stunning! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company. I love this beautiful theater-style ballroom with its breathtaking chandeliers, elegant stage, and is a perfect backdrop for our brides! Professional team and gorgeous venue highly recommend!

Beautiful Wedding and Event Venue

This past July we held our wedding at Chandelier Ballroom and it was perfect. The venue itself is beautiful , and I have always wanted to have a wedding there. We held our ceremony in the Fireside Room, and the dinner and dance in the Ballroom. It was just beautiful!
Michele Price, the Executive Director, was amazing to work with. Michele has a lot of experience, and working with her to plan everything was very organized. The catering was also fantastic. Chef Jeff took the time to check in a few times to make sure we were happy with everything, which were most definitely were. The bar staff was also terrific and made sure we were well taken care of. We received so many compliments from our guests on our wedding, and so much of it is thanks to the entire staff at Chandelier Ballroom. We highly recommend hosting any event there.

Beautiful venue for a larger wedding!

As a first time parents of the bride, my husband and I had so many questions! Michele and her staff were nothing short of OUTSTANDING! This historic ballroom, with it's soaring ceilings and unique shape, is large and spacious - so much room to put your personal touch on everything. Our guests still rave about the food, and the fact that it took only 20 minutes for 300 people to get through the buffet line - wow! Michele and her staff know what they are doing! The fact that this venue has two bars to service a larger crowd is also a plus. Another important thing for us was parking. This venue has plenty of parking, and it's all level and handicap accessible for your guests. It's difficult to find spaces that accommodate larger sized weddings. We were so pleased with our experience at The Chandelier Ballroom! Thank you, Michele for helping guide us as newbie parents of the bride!

Beautiful venue

The venue is beautiful and spacious. A lot of room to be creative and just very gorgeous. Michele is very nice, helpful and responsive. Anytime you email her for questions, she will respond within 24 hours or sooner no matter what day it is. The food there is also really good. We had such a wonderful wedding there. =D

Chandelier Ballroom Experience

Michele and her team were fantastic! I was told about the Chandelier Ballroom from a coworker who was getting married prior to my now husband and I even getting engaged. I showed him the photo of the ballroom and he loved the idea of hosting our reception there as much as I did. Like all engaged couples, we looked at other venues, but each time we came back to deciding on the Ballroom because nothing else compared to it's natural beauty and the politeness of Michele and her staff. At our receptionist, almost every guest we spoke with asked us how we found the Ballroom and complimented on how naturally beautiful it was. Not only that, but people RAVED about our meal. Chandelier Ballroom has an in-house kitchen, with the menu made by Michele herself. It helped with having one less thing to do (booking a caterer) and made for a delicious dinner, which was one of the most important factors to us for our day. Michele checked on us throughout the night to make sure everything was going to our standards, but they went beyond our expectations. If you want a beautiful venue that needs little decorating, with the bonus of an in-house kitchen and delicious meal, look no further.

I can't say enough how happy we are that we decided to have our ceremony and reception at the Chandelier Ballroom. The venue is probably the most unique one we've ever seen, and we fell in love with it immediately. We also loved the director, Michele, who was our contact from start to finish and sooo responsive to every single email (and I sent a lot because I kept forgetting things I wanted to ask) and so polite and kind. The Ballroom was super accommodating to our every need with everything leading up to and during the wedding. The food was amazing, our guests made friends with the awesome bartenders, and Michele anticipated everything before we even knew we needed something. Ah I just love this place! I would give more than 5 stars if I could! They made our wedding day go so smoothly and we are so, so grateful.
