    Can’t say enough about the Kenmore Ballroom and the people who run it! My daughter was a covid bride and this venue was still under construction when she was first engaged and because we had to postpone her wedding, we were lucky to secure a date at the brand-new Kenmore Ballroom. Katie and Nate went above and beyond in every way – we were one of their largest guest counts that the venue had yet hosted and they didn’t miss a step! We enjoyed working with them as they were available for our many questions during the planning process. On the day - we were awed seeing our daughter and son-in-law enjoying their first dance together at the top of the beautifully restored grand staircase under the spectacular light from the floor to ceiling windows and sparkling chandelier. They even coordinated our after party turning the onsite bar area into a Irish pub! They have so much experience and unique ideas for planning any type of event I highly recommend the Kenmore Ballroom and Katie and Nate! Not to mention the benefit of having the best wedding planner – Katie O Weddings and Events – thanks again Katie and Nate - from a grateful mother and father of the bride!

    The Kenmore Ballroom is one of our favorite venues to create magical, unique, custom events. The beautiful layout allows for different styles of weddings and events to flow through the space. it is the perfect combination of historic and modern built into one, and can we talk about the staircase!!! The different spaces allow couples to use the venue in the way that best suites their feel and overall aesthetic. Katie, Nate, Casey and team take care of their clients and are so incredible to work with! For us, it is truly a dream venue!
