History
Originally designed by D.B. Woodruff, The Library Ballroom was built in 1889 by the Macon Public Library and Historical Society to house the city’s first public library, and remained there until the 1920s. Known as the College Discotheque in the 1960s and 1970s, it housed The Allman Brothers first paid gig. After decades of inactivity, The Library Ballroom faced demolition in the 1990s, but Major renovations restored it to its prime splendor. In 2007, The Library Ballroom was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Initial viewing
Wedding in Oct. 2020. The Library ballroom is beautiful. Kaylee the manager has been so helpful & accommodating. She gave us a folder with so much info on planning a wedding from catering, to photographers, to musicians. Would highly recommend taking a look at this elegant venue. We said yes to the venue & can not wait.

Amazing staff, beautiful venue
We literally couldn't have picked a better venue for our perfect day! Throughout the whole planning process, Kaylee was amazing and helpful. She was very accommodating when we needed to meet up for payments and meetings. She always replied to emails or calls quickly, and always had the answers to whatever crazy questions I had. The building is absolutely gorgeous and more perfect than I could have ever imagined. The whole staff was super helpful on our wedding day. I will forever recommended this venue to anyone getting married, especially people like me who definitely did NOT want to get married outside. This was the first thing I booked after our engagment and definitely the easiest decision!! Thanks again, Library Ballroom, for making our dream wedding day perfect!
