The main floor of the HOH can accommodate up to 56 people at tables. The lower level offers additional seating.
Weddings
Are you looking for an intimate wedding venue? Have you considered the Historic Oddfellows Hall?
The HOH was initially intended to be a church, so it is ideal for weddings as the photo shows (bottom right).
The HOH can seat up to 80 guests.
The lower level offers a lounge area for the Bride and Bridesmaids. It features glass finial hooks mounted higher off of the floor to accommodate long dresses, a full-length mirror, a vanity, a kitchen, and can set up to allow a space for
Groom and Groomsmen as well.
As the wedding ceremony begins, the Bride and bridesmaids can make their way up the staircase to the foyer. Double doors will keep them out of sight of the guests until they are ready to enter the hall.
