Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Butler’s Grand Ballroom, Butler

A wedding at Butler's Grand Ballroom takes you up a golden elevator to the third floor of a four-story building on Main Street in downtown Butler. Sixteen-foot coffered ceilings with gold moldings, ten-foot windows trimmed in oak and brass chandeliers fill the rooms, and those tall windows bring in daylight that helps your wedding photos and video. Your photographer will find the chandeliers and the ceiling detail worth framing in the wide view of the room.

This is a place for your wedding reception, and the evening flows through two rooms. Guests gather first in the Pearl Room (32 by 36 feet) for cocktails and appetizers, with space for a gift table, place cards and a wet bar. Then the doors open to the Diamond Room, the main ballroom at 32 by 67 feet, which seats up to 180 guests and still leaves room for a sizable dance floor. Ask whether a ceremony can be held here too, since the site doesn't say.

Every room is climate controlled and accessible, with the elevator serving every guest. Paved parking is within walking distance in several lots and on the street. Guests have praised the room's acoustics, good news for your wedding videographer when it's time for the toasts and the first dance. Ask the event coordinators about catering, bar service and decorating as you plan your wedding day.

• Call to check your date and book a visit.
• Look at the parking map so guests know where to go.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and whether you can take pictures elsewhere in the building.

A little about Butler's Grand Ballroom

The building was finished in early 1906 and was long home to a furniture store and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, whose banquet hall was on the third floor. It was fully renovated after 2004, and that hall is a banquet hall again.
