The Absolute Best All-Inclusive Venue

Our experience at Woodrow Hall was nothing short of magical. From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew it was the place where our forever would begin. The space itself is absolutely stunning, elegant, timeless, and full of character. It created the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything looked.

But what truly sets Woodrow Hall apart is Princess, the owner and wedding coordinator. She is simply phenomenal. From day one, Princess made us feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. She handled every detail with grace, professionalism, and a calm confidence that put us completely at ease. On our wedding day, she moved through the venue like a quiet superhero, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly while allowing us to stay fully present in the joy of the moment.

Princess doesn’t just coordinate events, she pours her heart into them. Her warmth, organization, and dedication transformed our vision into something even more beautiful than we imagined. If you’re looking for a venue in Birmingham that offers elegance, excellence, and a team that truly cares, Woodrow Hall is the place.

We are forever grateful to Princess and the entire Woodrow Hall team for helping make our wedding day absolutely unforgettable. 💍✨

More like family

I would like to start by saying that once you meet Princess and Tammie they will make you feel like family. I would definitely recommend them for all things and not just weddings.

Like a Wedding show on TLC.

I just had my wedding here on 9/2/2023.
I chose the all inclusive package to relieve some stress involved in wedding planning. I provided them with photos and color scheme. They also provided cake samples and meals for my husband and to try to finalize the menu. Tammy and Princess exceeded our expectations everything was beautiful. The guest loved the food and said that the wedding was like something you would see on TV. If there was any questions we got answers in a timely manner. Princess is more behind the scenes but her presence was still known. Tammy is the go to person to make your day go smoothly. If I was to ever have another large event this will definitely be the place to go. They are apart of my family now.

Eddie=Professionally and Personally Superb!

When my daughter began looking for the reception location, she had specifics: historical, exposed brick, beautiful lighting, tasteful tables and chairs, a large dance floor, and space that could accommodate 150+ guests, several of whom need access to an elevator. It also needed to fit our budget. I do not live in Bham. I live in Atlanta, Ga, so this task was a bit daunting. I was overwhelmed at attempting the process from out of state. I saw the pictures of Woodrow Hall and saw the positive reviews. I made a call, on the spur of the moment, as I was already driving to Bham. Eddie answered, listened, sympathized, and rearranged his schedule to accommodate my impromptu visit. When we arrived, I was a bit skeptical because I was not accustomed to the inner city vibe, but as soon as we rode the elevator to the 3rd floor, I was blown away! Eddie had EVERYTHING so stunningly staged that is was EASY to envision how beautiful the reception was going to be. Not only that, his expertise and easy temperament made me feel so completely relaxed. This was not just a temporary sales pitch. For the next 8+ months, he walked me through SO many ideas, designs, set up ideas, listened to me vent when I was feeling overwhelmed, and encouraged me when I was unsure and feeling inadequate. (I hope WH realizes what a gem they have in this man and does whatever it takes to keep him.)
The reception was stunning. The ballroom was elegant. The staff was SO professional and kind. We had 165 guests. None of them had a complaint. ALL who came in contact with Eddie and his staff were very impressed. I highly recommend WH, especially if Eddie continues to be the director. Thank you, Eddie!

10 Year Anniversary Party

Woodrow Hall is a beautiful venue in a historical and very well-maintained building in Birmingham. It has class, charm and beautiful details that you can't get with a newly-built property. Eddie and Tazmine were just so accommodating, informative, prompt and wonderful, every step of the way! They worked with us and helped us every way that they could. The entire staff on event night (not a wedding, but our company's ten year anniversary party with ~150 people in attendance) was extremely accommodating and professional. Also, the food was AMAZING! We highly recommend Woodrow Hall. Everyone had a blast and we thank you!
