About this space

The ballroom in the Empress Building is open, a traditional look. Plenty of wooden dance floor, stage at one end, and a bar at the back. The windows let natural light flood in during the daytime, and the ceiling is high, so you never have the feeling that you are too cramped.

You can set it up however you prefer. Perfect for weddings, birthday celebrations, or anything with a group of up to 600 people.
