  Timeless Venue

  We had the pleasure of working with Sarah from the Old Metropolitan Hall when planning our wedding. She did a wonderful job with coordinating with our vendors and ensuring that our day was truly memorable. She responded to our inquiries in a timely manner and was professional throughout the entire process. Sarah is easy to work with and has a great eye for design.
  The Old Metropolitan Hall packs a ton of character with high ceilings, beautifully exposed brick walls, and gives off a minimalist vibe! We had 48 guests attend our wedding, which fit perfectly in the space. There was enough space for our guests to dance on the downstairs dancefloor and did not feel too empty, however the space could accommodate amble number of guests. We would recommend the Old Met to any couple who is planning to have a more intimate wedding in a downtown setting.

  Perfectly located, BEAUTIFUL event space

  We were looking for an open, bright, modern-looking space in the heart of Charlottesville for my rehearsal dinner. Old Metropolitan Hall (OMH) delivered in a BIG way. The space is beautiful - high ceilings, mirrored walls, lights, and a lower level that has a speakeasy feel. I was going for a "modern glam" feel for my rehearsal dinner and OMH was the perfect space. It's located right on the Downtown Mall, so it's easy to get to (lots of street parking and garages available), and the location means guests have easy access to other restaurants/bars after the event is over. Sarah was SO easy to work with, super nice and very understanding of our needs; and the price was very reasonable. You rent out the whole space for like 8 hours, so it was a great deal. I will recommend OMH to anyone looking for an event space in Charlottesville!

  Beautiful venue is a great location

  We had a wonderful experience planning and hosting our wedding ceremony and reception at Old Met. Our main contact, Sarah, was extremely responsive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire planning process. She helped to minimize our stress throughout the process and shared great ideas with us based on her experiences working with other couples. We always felt like we were in good hands! The venue itself is beautiful and felt very true to us/our style. The venue was a great size for our guest list (approximately 60 guests); it provided plenty of space, yet still felt intimate. The space would also work well for a slightly larger guest list. The location is extremely convenient for guests with hotels and restaurants within walking distance on the downtown mall. We also loved the fact that our guests were able to experience the Downtown Mall and the heart of Cville. I highly recommend hosting your wedding or another special event at Old Met!

  Sarah at OMH was a pleasure to work with, super responsive, and was very helpful with any and all questions we had. The space is super versatile, gorgeous on it's own but easy to decorate to really wow, and is full of character. Our guests gave endless compliments about how much they loved the venue, and how unique the bar area downstairs is.
  
  I highly recommend hiring Steph Saunders at Old Met as your coordinator if you need one, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. She kept us calm for our big day, was very organized, and we couldn't have done it without her.

  Old Metropolitan Hall was hands-down the perfect venue for our wedding! I worked closely with Sarah and she was attentive, responsive, and easy to work with! She always took the time to answer my questions and walk me through whatever I needed. Old Metropolitan Hall is an elegant and versatile space and I highly recommend it!

  The Old Metropolitan Hall is the perfect venue for a wedding ceremony and reception. By itself, The Old Met is beautiful with so many special details that it does not require many additions. My wedding had approximately 50 guests and we were able to elegantly push the tables back to seat everyone for the ceremony. At dinner we used their amazing farmhouse tables that are certainly worth the additional small fee. There was not a detail that wasn’t considered when designing this space. The downstairs made the perfect reception space and we were able to dance the night away using their surround sound that was perfect for not only the reception but also the ceremony. I mostly used their recommended vendors and they did not disappoint. Most importantly was their genuine excitement and investment into my wedding. That credit specifically goes to Sarah, their Events and Venue Manager. She was outstanding and so much fun to work with. They also have wedding planning services that paired me with Steph Saunders, at Steph Saunders Wedding and Events for my day of coordination. This venue is very affordable for everything that you get. I would absolutely recommend this venue for any event!

  My husband, Kurtis, and I got married at Old Met last weekend on Nov. 4, 2017. It was the MOST beautiful event we could have expected, and the venue is so convenient. I grew up in Charlottesville, but we live in Los Angeles now, so we wanted a place that would be great for out of town guests to get the whole Cville experience. We got so many compliments on the location -- everyone loved the downtown mall.
  
  Now, let me start on the staff! Sarah is one of the most amazing people to work with. She truly made us feel at ease, and we feel like we have a new friend in her. Her southern charm and patience is unmatched. We ended up hiring Steph to be our day-of coordinator. Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without her. She's creative, organized, and calming. My mom couldn't stop talking about how wonderful she is.
  
  Kurtis and I are thrilled about how everything turned out, and as cliche as it sounds, I wouldn't change anything about the day. It was literally a perfect depiction of the two of us as a couple.

  Old Met Hall was the perfect space for our Rehesrsal Dinner and Welcome Party. It is an enchanting space on the Downtown Mall with so many possibilities for decorating. Everyone who entered the doors was blown away with the venue!

  Amazing, amazing, amazing! We held our 90+ rehearsal dinner at Old Met and planned the event from Colorado, having only been to Charlottesville once. We are so blessed to have found this venue and especially Sarah who handled everything from start to finish. The space is fabulous! Not only is there the main space for their beautiful long wood tables, but we loved the downstairs space/bar area for appetizers/drinks and the "after hours" party. We used their projector for a slideshow with microphone for toasts and Sarah made all the accommodations easy and stress-free. The space is elegant enough that decorations are really not necessary, but we chose to decorate the front window and again, Sarah had great suggestions. It's a great feeling after the event to be able to say that you wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Old Met for making this memorable for our family and friends!

  Totally positive experience. A bride to be that was in attendance from Fairfax has already booked Old Met for next year.

  We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Old Met and it was everything I hoped it would be- classic, elegant, and timeless. We heard rave reviews from our guests about the venue and how unique and beautiful everyone thought it was! The people we worked with were always responsive and professional- they were extremely helpful and straight forward.
  The only thing I would give a slight warning about is the number of people it can really hold comfortably. We originally thought we were looking at having a wedding of ~100 people. When we sat down to figure out a floor plan, we realized that the highest number that can fit comfortably in the upstairs space using the farm house tables was ~80-84 people (we didn't want to have to decide who would sit downstairs away from the larger group). This was no problem for us as we ended up wanting to have a very small and intimate wedding anyway. We ended up with a guest count of 65 and it was perfect! Dinner was comfortable and not cramped upstairs and dancing downstairs felt intimate and private!
  Ultimately the space was perfect for us! We loved the farm house tables (paid an extra fee for them, but it was nice they were on site and not coordinating through another vendor), and the fact that all the chairs were included in the price (unlike some venues). We also felt like the price was very reasonable- we chose to get married on a Sunday for the half-price cost. In retrospect, we were very happy we chose Sunday for our wedding because the downtown mall was much quieter compared to a Friday or Saturday- it felt private and very "Charlottesville" without all of the problems finding parking!
  We were thrilled with our classic wedding at Old Met!!

  I cannot recommend Old Metropolitan Hall enough! We had a post-elopement party with approximately 100 people in January. The decor is timeless- neither fussy nor bland like many venues. The location is perfect- there are plenty of places to stay within walking distance and plenty of bars for after-parties. Everyone we worked with was helpful and knowledgeable and the process went so smoothly!
  One tip I have for anyone hosting an event at Old Metropolitan Hall: A company named Stay Charlottesville (www.staycharlottesville.com) rents out apartments directly above the venue. The apartments are beautiful and were a perfect "home base". Our cousins with young children stayed in one so when their children got tired they could take turns going up to the apartment to watch the kids.

  We had our 80+ person Rehearsal Dinner at Old Met, and it was absolutely beautiful! Old Met has a gorgeous upstairs location for dinner, and a fun, speak-easy feel downstairs area for drinks and dancing. We used both floors at our event and each one was perfect for its purpose. Dinner upstairs, where we also did gifts, speeches, and a slideshow (they have a screen and a projector) and drinks and dancing downstairs. Definitely recommend this venue for your event! Would even be perfect for a small wedding!

  We used Old Metropolitan Hall as a venue for our Moonlighting App Launch Party. The venue was spectacular and the Old Met Hall team was extremely responsive and accommodating to all of our needs. The event went off without a hitch in large part to the flexibility of the space and the Old Met Hall Team. Would highly recommend this space to anyone interested!

  My husband's parents hosted a gorgeous rehearsal dinner for us at the Old Met. The staff was so helpful and friendly and the space is lovely.

  I was so impressed with every aspect of our experience at Old Metropolitan Hall. Leading up to the event, they were responsive to our requests and made us feel everything would go smoothly. The night of the event, the venue looked stunning and Old Met handled our various vendors with ease. Will definitely use Old Met for future events!

  Old Met was the perfect spot for an elegant downtown wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better location on Charlottesville's Downtown Mall (plus no need to bus anyone anywhere like with a vineyard)! The space inside is beautifully decorated, easily customizable, and the split levels created a fun opportunity to do a lounge and bourbon bar downstairs and keep the upstairs free for the dance floor. The best part of all was the OMH staff. I couldn't have asked for a better, more responsive, or more professional events team. Our wedding was a once in a lifetime event but if it wasn't, we would go back to Old Met over and over again.

  Perfect space for an Art Nouveau themed wedding

  Old Metropolitan Hall is a wonderful space with a lot of history, and the downstairs area especially was great for dancing after the wedding. There was a ton of light and the space was well cared for. They had worked with our caterer, Harvest Moon, to provide specs and help with setup, and that was seamless and easy. We played our own music, and the sound system was simple to use and worked well both upstairs and downstairs. The staff were great to work with and were very responsive. The price was extremely reasonable for the excellent Downtown location and beauty of the space.

  Beautiful venue, loads of character

  Old Met Hall was the perfect place for us to get married - we LOVED this venue. Fantastic location on Main Street, lovely art deco-style upstairs hall and the speakeasy-style downstairs area is perfect for dancing! Plus the 'secret hallways' and private rooms are totally worth checking out. Staff were great and super-flexible.

  Old Metropolitan Hall's reply:

  Lucie, thank you SO much for your kind words! Your wedding was so beautiful, and we are honored you chose to celebrate your big day with us. We wish you all the best!

  Great Venue, Sarah was great!

  We were having a hard time finding a venue that fit our budget and logistically was easy for our guests. Despite Charlottesville being a destination wedding it fit both of those parameters. The space was unique and matched our style while downtown Charlottesville and the surrounds provided plenty for our guests. Sarah and the team we worked with were very helpful and responsive throughout all of the planning and the wedding went great!
