The venue at Silver City Ballroom
The original steel vault is built into the ballroom itself, creating an iconic backdrop for ceremonies, first looks, entrances, and portraits. Paired with soaring ceilings, chandeliers, and arched windows, the room feels cinematic in a way that can’t be replicated or styled into existence.

Silver City Ballroom was absolutely beautiful! Throughout our planning process the owners were attentive and flexible with working to meet our needs. During the reception the bar tenders were accommodating and they even made our kids feel special by making them (non-alcoholic) Shirley Temples. The bathrooms were cleaned and stocked and spacious enough that our guest never had to wait in line for the bathroom. Having the use of the upstairs lounge area before being announced was comfortable and made us feel like celebrities. I 100% would have another event at Silver City it was a pleasure celebrating our union.

I just had a fashion show her a couple of weekends ago. Everything was perfect, from the drinks to the cleanliness to the lighting. The staff was amazing to work with and helped with all our needs. Bathrooms were clean all night and they made sure it never ran out of toilet paper or hand soap. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
