Incredible venue and team - highly recommend!

We hosted our wedding here and couldn't have been more thrilled! Jacques and his team took such good care of us and were extremely kind, flexible, and open to discuss and find a solution for all of our asks. The space is stunning and gives an elegant energy - We got a lot of comments from guests about how beautiful the space looked!

Beautiful venue and very easy to work with

Jacques was not only responsive to our calls and emails, he was very helpful in recommending different table arrangements to meet our needs. We had 220 guest and the set-up with food, bar and dance floor worked very well.
The hall is beautiful on its own and it provides a beautiful backdrop for pictures as does the outdoor area around it.
Additionally, there is plenty of parking space.

Beautiful Venue

We had our wedding at O’Connell Hall in September, and it was perfect! The hall is gorgeous and didn’t need much decoration to feel elegant. The staff was amazing—they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and they were super helpful and easy to work with throughout the planning. Our guests kept saying how beautiful the place was. We couldn’t be happier with the whole experience! If you’re looking for a fantastic venue, definitely check out O’Connell Hall!
