The Music Hall on the second floor features a classic stage and beautiful wood beam ceiling decorated with twinkle lights and is complete with a working disco ball. This charming vintage space can be used for seated dinners and dance parties alike.

 
 

 
Ginter Park was a great wedding venue. Homeroom was the setting for our candlelit ceremony, guests helped themselves to cocktails and cookies at the bar located in the grand hallway. The reception in the Music Hall felt like the prom party of my dreams. A live band played on stage and guests danced under the glittering disco ball. It’s a night I get to remember every summer while relaxing at the pool.
