About this venue
Classic. Elegant. Historic. Breathtaking. 440 Elm is an elegant historic ballroom for a luxurious wedding. Built in 1913 by Elmer Grey, we host wedding receptions ranging between about 125 and 400 guests with matching outdoor space for ceremonies. Our exclusive in-house catering provides a wide range of menus with different themes and service formats, including California, Asian, Indian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern influenced items in formats ranging from passed to buffet to family-style to plated to live chef stations. Our downtown Long Beach location provides access to lots of hotels, restaurants, Catalina, the Queen Mary, for a great weekend for your guests. And all roads lead to Long Beach so it's a perfect spot for those with guests coming from San Diego to Los Angeles. While we primarily host larger weddings, we do host micro weddings with lower minimums 5-9 months out. Please ask for details.
