When it was constructed, over 10,000 members filtered through for various meetings, dances, dinners, and fraternal functions.

This historic venue is the most beautiful in Fort Wayne

Save Maumee appreciates Freemason’s Hall supporting our local nonprofit. The venue is exquisite and one of the most beautiful and original landmarks in Fort Wayne. The tours were knowledgable and insightful of the period it was built. I would recommend this for any event that you wanted to be classy.

Magical evening

This location is absolutely beautiful! I need a wedding do-over so that I can have my reception here! I attended a fundraiser event here and it was amazing. The natural decor of the room was beautiful, the staff were so helpful and polite, and it was just enjoyable all around.

Excellent venue

This place was PERFECT! Plus, if someone in your immediate family is a Mason then you get a discount which is nice when planning and paying for a wedding.

I liked that the walls and pillars were white because we were able to add color with live places, decoration, design, and lighting!

Great space for a large reception, we did not feel cramped and we had 200-250 people attend. The tables were pre set for us which was wonderful all we had to do was give them an outline of what we wanted. They gave us the day prior and day after to do set up and final clean up.

Everyone there was wonderful go work with, plus many caterers have worked in this venue so they were able to come in and do there thing without any help from me which was stress free.

Great venue, great price, and it made for wonderful memories!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
