Baby shower

I was looking for a hall at first and couldn't really find one for the time frame and things I needed and within the price range. I went to see the ballroom and it was so much more than I expected and needed but they had the time and the price range. From the beginning the staff was fabulous from Robin to the day Emma was there to help with any needs, questions or concerns. I work full time and had so much going on had never done a shower before but Robin answered all my concerns kept me calm and never missed a beat. The facility is really beautiful. Yes it is older but they have taken care and redone things that it is a hidden gem. It had corners to gather as small groups and an area we used to sit and open gifts tables plenty to spread out for everyone to wander and eat. Emma was there in the background to help with any need from the moment we arrived to decorate until we left. Everyone had a great time and loved the Ballroom. They were amazed at how beautiful it was the people that may have been there years ago to those that had never been there ³. I would definitely recommend it to anyone for their event and partly for the facility and the other is the staff that was so helpful even when I was in panic mode. Thanks Robin and Emma for making my first event my daughter's bay shower a success. She was so happy. Thanks and definitely book the ballroom you won't regret it.

We recently had our retirement party at the Rockingham Ballroom. It was the perfect venue for our event. Plenty of seating, lots of room for our buffet and beverages, access to musical options and a beautiful dance floor. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue for YOUR next event!
