About

Laube Hall is located inside the Freeport Community Park and offers banquet hall rental with a capacity of up to 500 guests. In addition to wedding receptions, couples may choose to have theirwedding ceremony on our outdoor patio or indoor grand fireplace, as both locations make a beautiful backdrop to celebrate your nuptials.

Upon entering the banquet hall, there is a large foyer with plenty of room for a place card table and during winter months, a coat check with an attendant is available. From there, you proceed through a second set of doors into the main ballroom. The ballroom has high vaulted ceilings with large wooden beams. At one end of the room is a large (floor to ceiling) stone wall with a built in fireplace and all stone hearth. Accenting the fireplace are lit candles that add to the uniqueness of the room. Lighting is provided by several fully dimmable hanging chandeliers as well as recessed lighting that span the length of the ballroom. The floor has neutral colored carpeting and in the center of the hall is a very large “built in” wooden dance floor.

On one side of the ballroom is an extremely large commercial kitchen, as well as a second room which will house your buffet line for dinner (should you opt to have your meal served buffet style as opposed to sit-down). The nice thing about this room is that it allows your caterer direct access from the kitchen and it also has 2 entrances (one at each end) that allows for a smooth flow of guests as they proceed through the buffet. Having this buffet room maximizes the floor space within the main ballroom, since you do not need to allow for an area for the buffet tables.

Located on the same side of the ballroom as the kitchen, there is a large built in bar with ample room for multiple bartenders. Included in the bar, is a draft beer system.

On the other side of the ballroom are multiple doors leading to an outdoor balcony with an incredible view of the Allegheny River and Freeport Bridge. This uncovered balcony spans the length of the hall and provides a nice area for your guests to mingle. It also serves as a convenient outdoor smoking area.

On the lower level is a large covered patio which is perfect for an outdoor wedding ceremony. Also located on the lower level are several smaller rooms that can be used as bridal suites to allow bridal party members an area to dress prior to your ceremony.

We have worked with couples just like you to design exclusive weddings for every budget. At Laube Hall you are able to utilize your own caterer. This allows you both flexibility and the potential to save money. Since Laube Hall does not have a liquor license, clients can provide their own alcohol. Again, this can result in a tremendous cost savings for thrifty couples.

Our professional party planner will work intimately with you each and every step of the way to ensure an unforgettable experience. The entire staff at Laube Hall is committed to making your special day everything you dreamt it would be.

Amazing, everything was PERFECT

Laube Hall was more than accommodating for our wedding. We only had our reception here but Karen was AWESOME. She helped with literally everything (setting up and even cleaning up that night!). A genuine person who really wants the best for your special night and does everything she can to make sure everything goes smoothly. I love her and Laube Hall. My experience with them is a 10/10!

Loved that I found Laube Hall! Karen and Larry are so nice, so helpful, and really think of everything! You can tell they've been doing this a while and everything you think may be a challenge, they have a quick and easy answer. The venue is beautiful and HUGE. We had the room set for 400 and there was still room to move around. You do have to provide your own vendors for this hall, which can really help to make the day exactly what you want and gives you the flexibility to decide and work within your budget, but also takes a bit more work. Keep in mind you have to provide everything for your bar as well... cups, stirrers, napkins, fruit, liquor, beer, soda, etc (they do have an ice machine). Kitchen is fully equipped for your caterer. Tables and chairs are provided but you can find a vendor to cover them for you if you want to fancy it up some.

Scenery is beautiful. Cost is friendly. Staff is helpful. All in all a great choice if you are looking for a big venue where you can do your own thing!

Laube Hall was the perfect place to have our wedding. I was concerned at first with the size of the room and that our guest of maybe 150 would make it look empty but thats not the case. Even with a smaller group, Karen knows how to fill the room up. If you do book this hall, you have the freedom to choice who you want to DJ,cater, decorate.... Everything it up to you to bring, which can overwhelm brides but it saved us a ton of money and we made it our own. We decided to have the ceremony outside under the underpass, which is a long hall made of brick with arches that open out to the yard. I did minimal decoration out there since it was already beautiful. Once the ceremony was done, we took our pics and the guest went inside the hall for cocktail hr. The inside was gorgeous! The lights were dimmed and the candles really set the mood. Besides from the hall itself, the main reason why this place does so well are the two people who work there. Karen and Larry were AMAZING. We forgot our toasting glasses for the bridal table and the cake cutting set, but Karen found some and had it already out to use. They helped during the whole experience. Planning,decorating,the events of the day, and the tear down. The day wouldnt have been so wonderful if it wasnt for Karen. Sorry I went into a lot of detail, but I was very happy with the people and the hall. Good luck ladies

Karen and Larry are the owners of Laube Hall. They are wonderful to work with and always had great answers/advice to my 100 questions. :) The way this vendor works is you pay to rent the hall and you bring everything in that you want. We were able to pick our caterer, bartenders, cake, cookies, make our own centerpieces and bring our own decorations. Yes it is a lot of work I will admit, but we saved around 10K bringing everything in our selves. We got married on the beautiful brick patio underneath the hall and our reception was inside the hall which made it very convenient not only for us, but for our guests as well. The scenery is beautiful and we were able to take our pictures there as well. Thank you Laube Hall for making our dream wedding possible on a budget.

Karen and the rest of the staff are absolutely amazing! They take care of so many little things for you, set-up, tear-down, ... you name it. Everyone was impressed by the location (we had our ceremony on the bottom covered porch outside and the reception in the main hall) - especially anyone who had never been to Laube. The view from the balcony is beautiful. You can also bring in any vendors that you would like.

Beautiful venue. Worth the price. Staff was very helpful. Sometimes it was a little hard getting hold of anyone to talk about the details of the event but otherwise would use it again.

We had our reception at Laube Hall in June and it was beautiful! For the price, we had plenty of space for approximately 250 guests to move and dance around comfortably. There was lots of parking, the scenery was beautiful and the staff was great to work with! They helped out immensely with setting and cleaning up the reception. We were also able to choose our own caterer, DJ, bartenders, etc so we could have the affordable wedding we wanted! I highly recommend Laube Hall to newly engaged couples, for it's an unforgettable venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
